Greer Cabernet Sauvignon Greer Vineyard

Napa Valley · Rutherford

Pleasant and tasty, with Pott's restraint and less bodacious style making for a bit of a drying profile in this vintage. I appreciate the balance here, with dusty red and purple plum flavors offering…

Greer Cabernet Sauvignon Greer Vineyard

Napa Valley · Rutherford

2018 and 2019 side by side. Okay and tannic, but less so than the stern and bitter 2018, this 2019 has broader shoulders but has little fruit expansion to offer. Check back in ten years in hopes the…

Greer Cabernet Sauvignon Greer Vineyard

Napa Valley · Rutherford

2018 and 2019 side by side. The 2018 is all wood chips and bitter tannins. "Leave these alone," is the best advice I can give here. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit concerned about the direction…

It's been 2.5 years since my last bottle. Having the chance to try this again is a lesson in service and delivery. This, like many other wines at this event, was a straight pop of the cork and a…

Similar to previous notes. Last minute pull. From Coravin. Notes of black cherry, black raspberry, cassis, purple plum, and faint hints of salami and dust (maybe the dust thing is just in my head - I…

Greer Cabernet Sauvignon Greer Vineyard

Though I just tried this wine on 10/4/2017, I wanted to give it a whirl at home where I could watch its evolution throughout the course of an evening from PnP through a few hours of air. Much like…

Rob Greer took the time to meet up with us at lunch and bring a bottle of this 2014 Greer. An amazingly giving gesture indeed and a wine with a lot of potential ahead of it.
