Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Vinous 94
The 2018 Asterisk is so impressive. It offers up copious dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, menthol and spice, all in a forward, lush style that offers tons of immediacy and appeal. Sloan’s Asterisk shows just how alluring the vintage is. The 2018 is the best Asterisk I have tasted. Frankly, it is better than some estates’ top wines.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2036
Jeb Dunnuck 95+
A great introduction into the incredible quality of this estate, the 2018 Asterisk reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as a beautiful perfume of blackcurrants, iron, lead pencil, coffee, and smoked tobacco. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and incredibly polished, it has building yet sweet tannins, the more focused, structured style of the vintage, and a brilliant finish. It s certainly approachable today and offers pleasure, yet it’s going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and will have 20-25 years of overall longevity.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2051

2019 Bevan Cellars, Tench Vineyard EE Red Wine, Oakville 1x75cl
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 647 cases
The Tench Vineyard surrounds the winery in eastern Oakville at a sweet spot where the valley floor and... foothills of the Vaca Mountains collide to form some of the most complex, prized soils in Napa. Sharing a fence line with Screaming Eagle, and counting the like of Dalla Valle Vineyards and BOND’s St. Eden Vineyard as neighbours, Tench has produced an unstoppable string of high scoring wines at the hands of Russell.
For the Tench Vineyard EE Red Wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend comes from a block which brings more blue and black fruits. The addition of Cabernet Franc adds intensity and structure, and the concentration achieved is phenomenal.

2007 Cliff Lede, Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District 1x150cl
Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 5,147 cases
Cliff Lede's iconic Cabernet is the essence of the Estate's Stags Leap... District terroir in a glass. The fruit is sourced from the hillside terraces of the 'Grand Cru' Poetry Vineyard, the Twin Peaks Vineyard estate surrounding the winery, and a few neighbouring vineyards in the Stags Leap District.
The wine is composed of small lots from the best blocks, representing a diverse range of carefully selected clones and rootstocks. From Poetry’s exposed, rocky terraces boasting volcanic origins, to the ancient riverbed alluvial soils of Twin Peaks, the breadth of contributing sites translates into a wine of impressive complexity and longevity.
