Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon Anjea Sleeping Lady Vineyard

Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon Anjea Sleeping Lady Vineyard

Napa Valley · Yountville

Well, well, well. It seems that Anjea in 2019 has some heft going on here. There's a polish in 2019 that is remarkable, but that glaze is varnish for a podium that is stacked, packed, racked, and…

Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon Anjea Sleeping Lady Vineyard

Napa Valley · Yountville

Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon Anjea Sleeping Lady Vineyard

Napa Valley · Yountville

The best wine I've had from the Sleeping Lady site. I've honestly never been wholly impressed with that vineyard nor convinced it had the ultimate potential to compete with some of the big boys in…

Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon Rhadamanthus

Napa Valley · Diamond Mountain

Well now party people, you can add me to the list of Cellar Trackers who are all about trumpeting the Kinsman label. The hype is real my friends. I know you don't need me to convince you otherwise,…
