Ratings on Delectable

Sipping Fine Wine Delectable Pro

A blend of Cab Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot & aged for 22 months in French oak (76% new). Deep Ruby with complex aromas of red and black fruits, and spicy notes of earthy herb scents. On the palate flavors of currants, cherries and wild blackberries and cacao. Firm structured tannins, well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with notes of leather and a gentle mineral essence which gave this wine a silky ending.

We had the 2015 Vintage on 12/29/23. Simply and elegant wine. This has all the highlights of a great Napa floor Cab. Black cherry, blackberry, plum, cedar and kirsch. Well balanced, fruit forward and full bodied.

Quintessa gave me bottle in exchange for an older corked bottle. This is a the perfect drinking point for me...I don’t think it can get any better.

Rutherford dust is pronounced in this bottle. Blackberries, cedar & chocolate notes. Balanced, silky tannins with such a nice palate of sweet ripe cherries & a long finish.

Checks every box for a quintessential Rutherford. Full body, Fruit forward that’s deep and luscious. Desperately trying to be more but it’s just good at what it is.

Deep ruby - almost purple - hue with tearing and staining. Nose has a lot of red and black fruit; cherry pie filling, raspberry jam, creme de cassis, ripe blackberry, nutmeg and light baking spices, white pepper, dusty cedar box, vanilla, pencil shavings, dried violets, earl grey tea, and mushrooms. Strong tannins on the palate, long, elegant finish. Deep complexity, layered character. Full-bodied. I can only imagine this wine ten years on. Classic pairing with filet mignon and white truffle sautéed mushrooms, roasted potatoes and asparagus. Vintage 2015. 14.5% ABV. Happy Anniversary @Deked1 ❤️❤️
