Hedges Estate Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Washington State It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Nose of black currants, cooked plums, licorice, oak, Indian spices, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and chocolates. Full bodied with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cooked cherries, oak, chocolates, light licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and black pepper. Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Elegant and nicely balanced. Feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux. Spicy and entertaining. Really enjoyed the nose. This 8 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking beautifully now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Delicious by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 22 months in all new oak barrels, 80% American and 20% French. A tiny production of only 1,400 bottles. 14% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $75.

Bond Wines St. Eden 2016 Napa Valley, California It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Dark ruby in color with a short reddish/brick rim. Fruity nose with blackberries, black plums, dried figs, cedar, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, chocolates, spices, herbs, light eucalyptus, light earth, black tea and black pepper. Full-bodied, soft and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, licorice, light herbs, spices, light earth, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, coffee and cola. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa valley. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and complex. Well balanced and elegant. An iconic wine that still needs more time in the bottle to mature properly. Although it is 9 years old, it still feels very young. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. This Single Vineyard is showing great potential. Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 3 hours of decanting. Thank you John for sharing this with me. Wine Advocate 98 points. Wine Spectator 96 points. A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak. 14.8% alcohol by volume. 94 points. $750.

Riesling: the ultimate surprise in a glass! 🍷 Do you prefer it crisp and dry or lusciously sweet? It’s medium sweet and a low 8% ABV.
Grown in Mosel Germany in blue slate soil, where 60% of fruit grown is Riesling.
