TOR
Neighborhood favorite for Saturday night - one should know the wine list blind by this time - still - gave it a closer look - TOR !! - Wow !!!
So seldom seem - way over budget - TOR Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard 2003 - quick conference with the evening’s drinking partner - “go for it” - more than proved worthwhile !!!
Rock solid Cab - wonderful nose - inviting - radiating sense of promise
- then delivers 10X - tight construction - lots of fruit - great definition - packed with multi layers - could easily lay
down 10 years - winemakers notes suggest even 20 plus years - very drinkable now - found it online for $60 to $70 -
by the by - started with an Isabel Estate - Sauvigon Blanc - 2005
- touch of grass - could have been crisper - needed more acid - less
temperature - i.e. screamed to be colder - served it purpose - prepping
for the heavy heater at dinner -
