Tasting notes:
O'Dwyer 2008 Cabernet - The wine has an amazing hue of opaque/purple colors with an equally gorgeous bouquet of chocolate, black currant, licorice jumping out of the glass. This full-bodied wine is lush, opulent and layered with more back stone fruit rushing over its intense well-balanced palate. Although full in body, this wine is well-crafted, it is drinking amazingly well and shows great aging potential. The tannins are there, but not aggressive. This wine boils over with personality and should age nicely for 10+ years. Only 50 cases will be coming to the US (which is 1/2 of the previous two vintages).
B. Kosuge 2011 PInot Noir - More and more these days I am looking for wine that is refreshing, aromatic and pure. Power and size are no longer so appealing. Even though the Shop is always a pretty big wine, it carries itself with grace. As has been the case for my entire career, I make this wine as naturally as possible—the better to encourage the fullest expression of the fruit, to keep it fresh and honest. But I don’t want to be too serious about it, and lately when I have tasted the wine it seems like the kind of wine you could down a bottle of without even thinking. Not that I am advocating chugging it. Carneros Pinot Noir always has a dark fruit component, something almost licorice-like, and that is here, in the background, along with other dark fruits. But there is spice and fresh fruit on top of it that keeps it lively. On the palate, ripe but fresh.
