Tasting Notes

Lots of blue fruits, bay leaf, cedar, and chocolate notes emerge from the 2017 Las Posadas, which is one of the standouts of the 2017s from this estate. Lots of foresty notes, spice, cedar, and tobacco emerge with time in the glass, and it has a savory, complex, full-bodied style that builds beautifully with air. Rich and flawlessly balanced, with a great mid-palate, 2017 doesn’t get much better.

The 2017 Las Posadas Proprietary Red—from a vineyard that sits above the fog line on Howell Mountain—is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Scents of caramel and singed sage join notes of dark chocolate and cassis on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is more silky than velvety, showing impressive elegance for a Cabernet-based wine from a mountain site. Already reasonably accessible, it should drink well for close to two decades.
