Reserve Eye of the Falcon Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 2018

A powerful blend, fruit forward. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot in delicious balance. Raton affirmed 9/15/20 on Daou Mountain. — 5 years ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Was sold as Meomis Momma. Since I love Meomi, I tried it. Wasn’t disappointed. Drank incredibly well for such a young wine. Paired with a rib eye steak and great conversation. It’s a bit pricey though. — 6 years ago

Fish Eye

Shiraz

Surprisingly good for boxed wine. Balanced red sec, dried Italian cherries up front (though not too jammy) and notes of clove of the back end. — 8 years ago

G.D. Vajra

Langhe Rosso Nebbiolo Blend 2014

Pale, clear, Ruby on the eye with medium viscosity. Jammy baked cherries, some cured meat on the nose. Fizzy on your tongue. Sour cherries, strawberries, medium++ acid, and a long, mouth-drying finish. — 9 years ago

Blueberry pie and incredible freshness. Delightful garnet to the eye, it’s incredibly rich but equally elegant. — 5 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Decanted it. Didn’t particularly care for it by itself, or with my arugula salad with goat cheese, cashews, and yellow cherry tomatoes. It went well with the rib eye with blue cheese crumbles and the Brussels sprouts with bacon and yellow raisins. After the meal, the wine had opened up enough that it was excellent by itself. — 7 years ago

Can’t edit where I was. I was at Number 13 in Galveston, TX.

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

Cassis, tobacco, silky tannins. Needs time to open up so give it a good decant and then drink with food (a big rib eye, perhaps?) — 8 years ago

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum you’re likely right on both counts

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2013

Guess this is young but very pure and clean fruit and acidity-tannin balance. Fresh herbs. Perfect with rib-eye steak. At Il Cortile Paso Robles. Actually have trouble not thinking this includes some Sangiovese, either coming from the winemaking style or just Tuscany in my head. — 8 years ago

Realm Cellars

The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

Total beast. Did a quick double decant since it's 12 years old but should have let it open for a couple of hours. Eye watering nose of dirt, nutmeg, cinnamon, bramble, and camphor. Massive palate with plenty of fruit and tannin left. 45 second finish. What an awesome cab blend! — 9 years ago

Very nice @Eric Shanks. I've never experienced a Realm wine, but I always see great things about it.

I've only had a few @Shay Aldriedge , but all were amazing. Especially the Beckstoffer. Older vintages on the secondary market are pretty reasonable too.
