Lancaster Estate Cuvee 2019Winery notes: The 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon captures the pure expression of our unique terroir at Lancaster Estate. It is a blend of four of the five of the red Bordeaux varietals we have planted on our volcanic hillside vineyards. The nose is rich with aromas of dark plum, tobacco and black pepper. The palate is deep and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark stone fruit, dried sage and a subtle earthiness. This wine should be decanted

The compelling Conti Costanti 2021 Brunello captivates with pronounced aromas of fragrant purple flower

smooth tannins

blackberry paste and plum preserves fruit that needs time to unwind fully

But there’s a catch

it finishes clean and thirst-inducing

as well as opening Bordeaux to wine tourisim and promoting gastronomy

Sporting a deep purple-black color

Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with 23% Merlot

the smell and taste of the 2019 Santa Cruz County Pinot Noir tells the story of the Santa Cruz Mountains

at times austere profile

Waterford notes:

but best after 2027
