Cabernet Sauvignon (2010) – Regusci Winery

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon by Regusci Winery is a purplish dark and cloudy wine with moderate, but complex aromas. The noticeable aromas include dark fruits such as blackberry and dark plums, raspberries, strawberries, and hints of vanilla. Upon tasting the wine, I discovered the complexity of the wine had to be flavors of vanilla and smokiness, along with spices such as black pepper, cloves and nutmeg. I also detected hints of blackberry and black currant. This is an off dry wine, with a medium-full body and presence of round but medium tannins. The wine is fairly balanced with moderate flavor intensity.

Zinfandel (2012) - Rombauer Vineyards

Rombauer Vineyards is another Napa County winemaker, which in my opinion produces excellent wines from Napa grown grapes. On this occasion, I had the pleasure of tasting their 2012 Zinfandel. The aroma intensity was low and youthful with hints of dark fruits, blackberries, some red fruits, red currant, and dark plum. This Zinfandel was an off dry wine with medium body, flabby acidity, and overall moderate intensity. Regarding flavors, I detected a slight sweetness almost like a black jam, some clove and oaky-vanilla spices. Along came a medium finish about four seconds average for each sip. The aromas and flavor intensity were moderate at best, and I highly recommend decanting or airing the wine as it can almost be described as a semi-closed wine.

2012 Cabernet Sauvignon by Rombauer Vineyards

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon from Rombauer Vineyards is a dark and slightly hazed purplish wine. The wine showed a noticeable and intricate formation of legs around my glass, so yes it does have legs. It has a moderate aromas, and noticeable spicy tones. The wine has aromas of blackcurrant, red pepper, blackberries, blueberries, hints of vanilla, subtle aromas of dark leafed tobacco, and very smoky oak tones. Did I say it has spicy tones? This is a balanced and spicy delicious wine! Yum!!!
