Ancient Peaks Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2019 The Cabernet Sauvignon delivers vivid aromas of violet, boysenberry and black currant with trailing hints of tobacco. The texture is deep and seamless, cascading across the palate with dense flavors of blueberry, cherry and blackberry. Suggestions of black olive, vanilla and mint elevate the experience, which concludes with a remarkable integration of smooth, sleek tannins.

Checkerboard Kings Rows Red Napa Valley 2017 2017 Checkerboard Kings Row remains an expression of the Aurora Vineyard which is located in a small valley midway up Diamond Mountain on a large knoll at an elevation of 1,200 feet. The knoll projects off the mountainside, giving the vineyard full Southern exposure and open light from the East and West and protection from Napa Valley’s summer fog.  Six acres are planted in the knoll’s rich, volcanic soils that are riddled with basalt cobble and loamy clay.  The remaining six acres are planted in a deep gravely mix of white volcanic ash and chips of decomposed Rhyolite that were washed down from the steep, rocky crags of Diamond Mountain above. The 2017 blend of Checkerboard Kings Row is deliciously aromatic.  The nose is fresh, with hints of sweet and juicy fruits that are augmented by dark roast coffee.  On the palate, the fruits swirl together with baking spices, green olive, and graphite in a wine soft on tannins but long on finish.

Checkerboard Aurora Vineyard Red Napa Valley 2017 On approach, the palate of the 2017 Checkerboard Aurora Vineyard is full with notes of freshly brewed Italian espresso, roasted vanilla bean, toasted almonds, and blackberry compote.  This spice-forward wine continues with flavors of baked cherry pie and crushed, dried red pepper.  There’s ample fresh fruit surrounding the core, including dark cherry, black currant, and red plum which serve to lift the wine to a lingering finish with finely polished tannins.

Chateau Margaux 2008 Score: 94 Points  This is a stunning Chateau Margaux, made in a sexy, up-front, elegant style, with deep creme de cassis fruit intermixed with spring flowers, a solid inner core of richness and depth, but again, very sweet tannins as well as striking minerality and elegance. One of the most seductive Chateau Margauxs given its recent bottling, this blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest tiny quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot should drink beautifully for the next 25-30 years. Remarkably, a mere 36% of the entire production was selected for the 2008 Chateau Margaux. https://bordeauxinvestmentwines.co.uk/pages/chateau_margaux_2008.html

Chateau Margaux 1994 An early flowering and a particular warm, dry summer allowed the fruit to reach a remarkable level of concentration and richness; the intermittent showers during the harvest prevented the vintage from being truly great. We must be content with lovely complexity, distinguished fruit and the promise of a brilliant development.
