Low aroma, light bodied, citrus accents with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Easy to drink, pairs well with gazpacho, vegetable dishes, and sea bass. — 2 years ago

Cask Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1961

Mike Saviage

9.4

Cask J1. Dark blackish tawny color. Very much opaque. Wispy, rustic nose. Notes of charcoal, roses, mocha, cola, vanilla, and charred barrel. Seems very old to me. Is it fortified? While I'm trying to ascertain what this might be, it's revealed as old school Cal Cab. Pretty impressive stuff. — 3 years ago

@Steve Anderson This is a cool bottle, enjoyed in my pre-delectable days. But I must say this particular pic of those three white wines would have been a very fun lineup alone, without all the other badass corks that were pulled during your evening.

Steve Anderson

@Severn Goodwin - yes, the line up of whites (also including an Aubert Lauren) probably didn’t get the attention they deserved. I’m fortunate to be part of a generous (and thoughtful) wine group and they went above and beyond in the quality and quantity of wines presented for our holiday dinner. A wonderful evening, but some excellent wines got lost in a sea of bottles. We actually decided not to open a few of the whites, including Guigal La Doriane, knowing that we already had too many bottles open.

Severn Goodwin

@Steve Anderson Good decision to withhold. Palate and experience gets compromised with too many bottles, it gets tough for stellar bottles to stand in a crowd some days. Also, a generous wine group is really the best kind. 😉

Backward mountain fruit, but not as tannic as I’d expected, though this should easily last another 25 years, old school Cal Cabernet (13% ABV) that I long for!! — 2 years ago

Miss those 80's and 90's vintages of Laurel Glen. Tough love in a bottle.

St. Helena Sauvignon Blanc 2016

One of my favorite small production wine, 300 cases. Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing & wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Aromas of lemon citrus with herb, stone & tropical fruits. Palate, peach, Granny Smith apple & ripe melon flavors with lively citrus zest wrapped in lbalanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Consistent! Nice! — 4 years ago

I was surprised at how much I like this. I’m not a Merlot, fan so when I know it’s there, I have a predisposed taste in my mouth. However, this is fantastic! It’s fruity but not sweet. It has a well balanced, full bodied mouth feel with a beautiful finish. — 5 years ago

Dark ruby, bright, doesn’t look it’s age. Awesome funky old Cal Cab nose. Notes of cherry, cranberry sauce, dirt and some balsa wood. Some steminess. Great perfume. Nice in the mouth but missing just a little bit in the mid palate. Really enjoyed this. — 6 years ago
