Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Young Caymus wine so some of the comments are interesting. Great dark berry flavors and much room to develop. Not the toasty oak of the 2012 but still needs some time to evaluate over the next 4 years. Still a fun wine to drink. — 10 years ago

Marqués de Murrieta

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2004

Lots of developed aromas. Leather, tobacco, vanilla, coconut, cooked fruits. Med + body, long finish. Still kicking 11 years later with some room to go. — 11 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

The 91 Dominus has always been my favorite vintage and a wine that we have served blind several times next to the 82 & 86 Mouton where most in the room picked the Dominus as the 1st growth. Lots of dark fruits, earth, cedar, leather, tobacco and sweet spices. Very elegant and balanced and drinking beautifully now. — 11 years ago

Naramata Bench Pinot Noir

Incredible. Fruit forward but not jammy. Sadly for wine club members only. — 10 years ago

Harlan Estate

The Maiden Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

Gorgeous ruby, purple color. Knockout nose of cocoa, blackberries and cassis. On the palate, black currents, melted chocolate, espresso, graphite as well as an earthy quality. Supple tannins and a wonderful richness. This Harlan second label is probably better than most producer's primary. I don't drink much Cabernet as I've been driven from the market because of ever increasing costs (I only have room for a couple high end wines, and who in their right mind would ever say no to Mr Krankl?), but I always feel regretful whenever I open a great one and see what I'm missing. — 10 years ago
