Brett Duffin

Cain Vineyard & Winery

Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

Chip Stryker
9.2

Way too young now but destined for greatness. Chris Howell knows how to showcase what the mountain gives him. This wine, with its hints of well integrated Brett, is not only distinctive for Napa, but stands out against others from the mountain AVAs. Cellar for a long time! — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Jeffrey Lew
9.4

This is finally shedding it's tannin. Took a little while for the Brett to blow off but under that was nice dark fruits with some tinderbox aromas and smoke. A more primal Latour, but still a great Pauillac. — 11 years ago

Floral aromatics with some notes of anise and currant. A little Brett on the palate- but integrated. Cherry cord on the finish with some beautiful tannins. Drink now. — 11 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1984

Ira M. Harmon, MS
9.3

1984 Opus slightly browning but very good ruby. Opening up nose of cedar cassis Tabacco slight vanilla. Taste is definitely showing some age but expressing power of Napa. Med acid med + body. Tannins mature long finish! Very balanced!! A touch of Brett but only enough to give level of character! — 10 years ago

Hermine Benard
9.0

Body medium +, Brett, menthol, pepper, strawberry, cherry, earthy, oak. A bit "hot". Bottle is atypical. You can't see content. Great with beef deli. Grown at high altitude. 13.5deg. A very pleasant surprise! Don't buy a bottle by its label. — 11 years ago

9.5

A sincerity to this wine, an old world drinker's delight. New world lovers may not be flattered by this. Also, super clean, no Brett. Will still make it for AT LEAST 10 years. — 13 years ago
