Napa Trip Report - Long Read, Lots of Wine

WINE TALK

I have missed quite a few releases, based on how the 2014 was showing that was a big mistake!

Thanks a lot for the report, weā€™ll be heading to Napa in a few weeks and we are already taking notes on where to go.

You see 25+ posts in a row, most of which look like they were written by chat gpt and itā€™s a near certainty thereā€™s going to be something scammy in commerce corner.

Iā€™m surprised no one hasnā€™t reported that profileā€¦ Itā€™s looks super scammy and the post in Commerce Corner looks even worseā€¦

How would you describe or characterize the differences in Tench Vineyard Cabernet from: 1) Bevan, 2) AO, 3) Riverain?

32

Great question. Bevan I know well big, lush and voluptuous, then would come Riverian which still has plenty of fruit yet a little more down to earth, finally AO (Andy Erickson) which I feels shows a different more restrained side. I did not have enough time with AO and Riverain. I would love to revisit the 3 wines on the 2023 vintage a few years down the line. AO should not be overlooked now that Andy is onboard.
