Winemaker's Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

...I buy a case from Dom P. on his recommendation. Now, so many people come to me for advice ad I go to Dom P., one of the smartest guys I know, plus he speaks fluent Italian and conversational Korean, but does this translate into knowing wine... Because, certainly; I know wine...

This is good... Dark, fruit, blackberry, blueberry, true Napa Cab... I taste licorice; I read some reviews on-line and I read anise... How many tastings have I been to and somebody says "anise." Guess what, anise smells like licorice, haaaa... Google it... Anyway, salude Dom P... I'm finishing the bottle re-watching Boardwalk Empire with Ziti... Damn good bottle...

Oakville Estate Merlot 1992

This '92 Oakville estate wine will probably prove to be higher than the rating I have given it. At least I hope so, I haven't actually tried it yet — 11 years ago

Intense raisin and port in bouquet. Long lingering finish. Color great, cork intact and easy to remove.
