Second bottle of Neal Family Cab with Easter lunch/dinner. Now we are talking. More structure, darker flavors, more serious, complex, and earthy than the One Lane Bridge. A cut above, I believe. Where the OLB was more red fruited and quaffable, this was serious and required a little more attention. Black berry and black currant fruit with a touch of cherry and dark chocolate. Coarser tannins and muscle. I liked this one a lot. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain.

I am not a professional wine taster, nor do I have any professional training in the wine trade. I am a wine enthusiast who has spent countless hours tasting wines of many different styles. My palate is not aligned with a single wine critic, and I call all wines "as I taste them". My site is a source of tasting notes and wine recommendations as well as warnings without conflict of interest. You'll just have to figure out how your palate aligns with mine. My palate generally tends to veer towards Old-World wines that put a premium on terroir and lovely balance and finesse, rather than raw power...please keep that in mind as you read my notes.
