2009 Cabernet a Great Wine in Fredric Koeppel’s look back at 2020
This annual post looks back at all the wines I wrote about in the previous year and singles out 50 that I thought were great wines. âGreatâ doesnât necessarily imply the most profound, though several of these are as profound as wine gets; nor does it necessarily mean that these are the worldâs famed wines intended for laying down in cellars for long aging. I donât usually encounter such wines anyway.
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Block Three / 92 Pts / International Wine Review
More elegant than blockbuster, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is our favorite of the three vintages we tasted. The bouquet is redolent of dark cassis complemented by notes of earth and underbrush. Thereâs a lovely, silky texture to the mouthfilling palate and nice integration of blackberry fruit and toasted oak. Â The tannins are still youthful but ripe. A wine that will only improve with a couple of years bottle age.

James Melendez shares his thoughts on his Vlog about our Sparkling Rosé
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon / Isaac Baker
Medium purple color. Deep but tart aromas of blueberry and black cherries, with complex, deep and spicy tones: tar, mocha, sage, sweet red pepper, black pepper and balsamic glaze. The palate is full but smooth and, like the others, this wineâs acidity is really nice. Tangy plums and juicy black currant fruit blends well with leather, paprika, black pepper, spicy tobacco, mint. A lot going on, and Iâd like to see this in five or six years. Cab Sauv with 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 100% French oak.
2017 Block Three Cabernet / 94 points / Tasting Panel
With 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cab Franc added in, this 100% French oak-aged red is distinguished in its demeanor. A wave of black cherry and mocha plum are dispatched on a plush pillow. Chewy, the liquid engages with chalky, teeth-coating tannins and develops an intimacy with the palate. A valentine of plum and pomegranate is delivered on the finish.
