Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Drink like Abreu wine which is seamless and smooth ripe with Napa fruit. Very enjoyable albeit for me needs to develop and hope it ages to show more personality. — 9 years ago

Entre Vous

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013

13' Entre Nous Sauvignon Blanc. Golden in color. Orange zest, lemon peel, pear. Minerality & nice crisp, not overwhelming acidity throughout the glass. Impressive creamy texture's on the back of the palate. One of my favorite Sauvignon Blanc I've had out of Napa Valley . Philippe Melka has this thing on cruise control. Also teaming up with David Abreu & Jim Barbour. Drink this at cellar temperature, if not warmer! Get some of this. Can't wait to try the rest of the wines! What a pleasant surprise. — 10 years ago

Behrens Family Winery

Cemetery Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

'Cemetery' is Les Behrens wine sourced from Abreu-Cappella Vineyard in St. Helena. The most aromatic and elegant wine I've ever had from Behrens (B&H, Erna Schein, Behrens Family) but not lacking in structure and concentration. Beautiful wine. — 10 years ago

Kenzo Estate

Rindo Estate Bottled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

You rarely go wrong with anything Heidi Barrett and David Abreu touch. An interesting Bordeaux blend with notes of dark fruit, leather and spice. A long great finish follows. Tannins are subtle but I think this wine can age for a long time. A very nice wine. — 10 years ago

Wine is a perfect example when u mix a fruit forward wine maker with a difficult and cold vintage. This is up there with Colgin and Abreu for the best of the 2011s which as a vintage weren't my style of wine except for a handful of exceptions. This wine has 0.0 green notes which I hate. It's nose is fresh cut Violet's and wild flowers. Palate is silky smooth (low tannins) notes of mountain berries but without the usual Bevan fruit forwardness. Nice acidity makes the mouth water but not at all offensive. Nuanced notes of dark plum and pipe tobacco make an appearance as well. I can't see this getting any better with age. It drinks like an aged Bevan already. Beautiful wine. Prob the wine of the vintage ahead of the handful who did well in 2011. Well done Russell! — 10 years ago

@"Odedi" im a tough scorer. Only rated two wines ever a perfect 100. I thought this was among the best bevans I've ever had. I thought the 2012 mcgah and the 2013 sugar loaf edged this out although the sugar loaf isn't comparable in style the mcgah was had a pinch more fruit if I recall correctly but plenty of nuance as well.

Las Piedras Vineyard No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

V M
9.8

Fairchild's stones number 1 is a tiny production brilliant wine. Big beautiful fruit this wine is a deep dark ruby red. Reminds me of abreu the way it drinks more like a fine liquor. The nose is beautiful and fragrant with notes of fresh cut honeysuckle and warm cherry pie. Simply outstanding nose. Palate is cherries, berries cut with a streak of formidable toasted wood tannins which will loosen. Finish goes on and on with soy and a touch of smoke. Special wine — 10 years ago

Fundação Abreu Callado

Reserva Vinho Regional Alentejano Red Blend 2011

De cor rubi intensa, belas pernas. Um aroma predominantemente frutado (aromas, ameixas, framboesas maduras), especiarias picantes, madeira fresca e alguma erva. Acidez alta, taninos médios e macios, álcool alto, porém em balanço. Vinho pronto pra beber, mas pode melhoras em uns 3 anos. Preço alto. Muito bom vinho — 11 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Three Palms Vineyard Merlot 2002

02 vintage with John Upton who sold vineyard to Duckhorn recently. I always felt Three Palms was one of great alluvial fans in terroir as the Napa River tributes into this land. And the traditional vineyard management by John and Sloan was pure old world. No Abreu stuff here. But really the only age-worthy Merlot in CA. This bottle still tight but well made and can last 20 more years. — 9 years ago

Bernard Magrez

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

06' Barnard Magrez Cabernet. 83% CB 12% CF 5%PV. WOW... A rare bottle indeed. This was sourced from the famous Vineyard Thorevilos (Abreu). Aaron Pott was its winemaker in 2006.

A 2 hour + on the decanting. All the elegant black fruit you can imagine in this glass. A 30+ finish. It's certainly in the discussion of one of the finest 2006's I've had out of Napa. Drinking well now & has another 20+ great years in it.

Barnard Magrez is now sourcing there fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyards. If you didn't get enough Realm Dr. Crane 12/13's. Hell… just want to add another great wine! This certainly could be a viable option(wish list). Benoit Touquette is "NOW" the winemaker😉👍!!

I'm not saying the 12 & 13's are another Realm Dr. Crane. They're the same winemaker & sourcing🤔. Just a thought...
