Oh Looky What I Found, Abbeyville Cabernet Reserve

So last night I just pulled a wine from my grab box and look what I found.  Abbeyville Cabernet reserve. What a treat and unexpected at that.  This is a fantastic find from Adler Fels winery, Harry Parducci being the winemaker.
The color is a deep garnet, almost black looking.  Rich and deep and velvety.
The bouquet fills the room and entices the nose.  Beautiful floral scents and dark ripe cherry, vanilla and a slight sweetness arises from the glass.   Highly aromatic  and just delightful.
The mouthfeel is luscious and full bodied. The wine coats your mouth with this thick rich wonderful flavor.  Dark ripe fruits,keep a napkin on hand because your mouth will be watering and you will be drooling as you think about having another taste.  The fruit gives way to slight hints of wood, and easy tannins.   The flavors are concentrated and give such a complexity to the wine.  
The finish is long, pepper and cinnamon finish off  as you reach for another glass.
Enjoy.
Wow what a treat..

AbbeyVille Chardonnay

Enjoying a celebrity from the North Coast. A 2011 AbbeyVille Chardonnay. An offering from Adler Fels and Harry Parducci.  Now this is not your typical wood bitin California Chard. This selection offers a combination  of old and new world techniques. The nose throws forth highly aromatic tropical fruit notes. The wine fills your mouth with such a delicious coating. Rich and wonderful. The fruit is abundant. The balance is perfect.  It has a lingering finish giving up fruit the entire time. Soft and easy drinking, with structure and depth. Tonight I am not pairing it with anything, just drinking some nice wine.
Enjoy
