Very bold aroma and immediately crisp mouthfeel. Intense flavor on the tongue. Wonderful fruitiness on finish. Perfect for summer. — 9 years ago

Marsanne + Roussanne + Acacia barrel = sappy, honeyed, spicy apricot deliciousness. This has the structure to live forever; I'll never know, can't stop drinking it now. @Chris Broomell kills it again. — 11 years ago

I have a friend at Stagecoach vineyards--I think it may be the Krupp brothers that own it. I haven't had this wine. I have had Hobbs Stagecoach and Miner who buy their grapes. Both very nice, opulent wines but they need time. A lot of wineries buy grapes from Stagecoach. How was this one?

I've recently had Dick Vermeil and Drew Bledsoe's wines but this one gets my vote for best football themed steakhouse Cab. Well done by Dan Marino and Damon Huard (and of course the winemaker Chris Peterson). This is way too young, but I look forward to checking in on these in a few years. — 10 years ago

A little Ruth's Chris for a late dinner. The boss picked a great bottle. I'm not sure how much input he gave, but turned out well. I just hope he's paying. — 12 years ago

Cain Vineyard & Winery

Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

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

Really great Bordeaux style red from Washington State. Winemaker Chris Peterson, formerly of DeLille Cellars. Great for the price too, can likely lay down for 5 or 10 years — 11 years ago
