Lot #600. My Favorite Neighbor Proprietry Red Aurelio 2016

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 97 JD.
"The 2016 My Favorite Neighbor is made with the intent of competing with cult Napa Cabernet Sauvignon yet at a more maintainable $80 price point. Coming all from westside Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, mostly on clay soils, and brought up all in French oak, I'm thrilled to say that it succeeds beautifully. This deep purple-colored beauty offers an incredible perfume of crème de cassis, blackberries, graphite, lead pencil, and ample crushed rock-like minerality. Showing more nuance and floral characteristics with time in the glass as well as full body, sweet tannins, and no hard edges, it's a sensationally rich and seamless Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles to drink over the coming decade. The My Favorite Neighbor label is Eric Jensen’s new project focusing on Bordeaux varieties and more clay dominated sites." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Nov 2018
Provenance: The Normande Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $170
