Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Very young - this is wine for the cellar. Dark spice, hints of green herbs. The nose is like walking into a Chinese herb shop. Crushed chalk. Plum skins. Texture is very smooth with deep hints of baking chocolate dusting. This is quite the thoroughbred Cabernet: Elegant, Pure, Pristine, and Powerful. $175 at winery. — 11 years ago

Corison Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Elegant - textured - showing no signs of its age in its color. Objectively you know this is well-made even if you know nothing else about wine. Still bright - reasonable fruit intensity - and finishing with oak spice. Kudos. — 11 years ago

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Elegant texture and weight. There's still loads of primary fruit w wild strawberry, raspberry. I can't get over how it just glides over the palate. — 11 years ago

Very pretty. Traditional style. Very easy to drink and enjoy. Red fruit on the palate with roses on the nose. Typical great Barolo.
