Caterwaul is delicious in 18. I originally bought a three pack on release, opened a bottle a couple weeks ago, and immediately went back in for more. As I was drinking it. I try and wait a day or so to noodle on whether to buy more of anything, but not this guy… Easy decision at $50/per
Good choice. Ended up with 12 of them so far. Hard to beat for the price so far in 18. Really want to open one of the Cemetary Vineyard ones as I’ve heard they are very good. Patience isn’t my strong suit.
A group of winos met for a TRB tasting a few weeks ago - 3 Schraders (all RBS from '10, '13 and '16), Maybach, Revana, Kinsella, Pulido-Walker, 4-Winds, Jones. 2012 Pulido-Walker Panek won with the 4-Winds #2 and Schrader '16 RBS #3, '10RBS #4, '13RBS #5.
Not a clunker in the bunch. The P-W was my first ever and quite nice.
I am not saying he is Midas, but he proved something to me in this tasting. I am a huge R-M and Mending Wall fan as well.
My favs are RM Panek, which seems to be consistently good at a decent price, and Riverain Cabs and Syrahs. The '16 Oakville Cab and '16 Cardiac Hill Syrah are up there in my WOTYs for those varieties.
I had never heard of Caterwaul before this thread, but I’m intrigued, especially for the price. I picked up some '18 NV Cab today on sale at FirstBottleWines for $42.50. Excited to try it!
