16 Rivers Marie cab

Obviously way to young but still enjoyable.

The one flavor i get in young wines that bothers me is a milk chocolate mouthfeel, does anybody else get this ?

Alan, you’re drinking a 2016 Napa Cab, that is raised in a lot of new oak. What were you expecting?

Frank, where does the milk chocolate come from, is that the oak ?

It would be my assertion, yes.

Frankie would you concur that American oak produces nascent notes of toasted vanilla soy milk?

To me it’s more a cinnamon nutmeg almond milk latte.

I seriously doubt Thomas is using American oak, actually I know he doesn’t.

Reminds me of…

C’mon Robert…we all know American oak is clearly dill, coconut and marzipan…pssh

Way too young. Let them sleep. We had a 2007 last night that was fantastic! Little to no oak.
