Yates Family Vineyard-Sisters-Mt. Veeder-Napa Valley-California-2013-15.1% Alcohol-$68.00-A bold nose of dark fruit and some spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, not quite sure varieties but would guess Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and maybe Cabernet Franc, with blackberry, blueberry, a finish of chocolate and spices, still needs a short decant. NR CR-91 Good with meats, chicken, pasta. One Cork Bonus.
V. Sattui Winery-Port-Barrel Aged-St. Helena-California-NV-18% Alcohol-$59.00-(.500ML)-A nose of some heat and dark fruit, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied port, with black cherry, tar and spice, almost Tawny like. NR CR-87 Good with deserts, ice cream.
