A no frills example of the grape. Starts a bit closed but opened to gentle flavors and tannins. Drinkable and food friendly. Overwhelmed by too much spice in the food but with cheese and meats and assorted snacks is really pretty good. — 6 years ago

Melange of white varietals tasting more or less like a California Central Coast white Rhône blend, in a good way—minerally, slightly herbal, complex and food friendly. Reminded me of Eberle Cotes-du-Robles Blanc. Enjoyed the 2016 vintage with a dozen $1 Wednesday Special oysters, grilled Spanish octopus and Crab Louis salad. — 7 years ago

Ruby with berry fruit aromas, tobacco and herb notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with cedar and spice notes. Fine tannins, good balance with acidity, medium+ finish ending with toasty oak character. Drink now, food friendly, nice value! — a year ago

This is an awesome vintage. No need to decant. More rich than the last vintage and really food friendly. Medium body (not light or tart) with nice tannins that are present to the finish. Great on day two and three. NBI — 4 years ago

Do NOT sleep on White BDX. This is ethereal, lacy, fresh cut white flowers—killer with chilled King Crab legs. As the price of Burgundy becomes more and more offensive I am turning to other regions that offer high quality wine at reasonable price points. This bottle is an easy pounder—and food friendly—for sub $20 is exactly what I’m looking for. — 7 years ago

Opened by mistake thought had multiple but was vertical of single bottle of '00-'09. Ruby color with purple tinge. Nice nose of dark fruits and earth. Peppers and savory on the palate. Supple and silky texture. Medium finish. 75% Merlot then Cab Franc. Drinking nicely. Should comp with other vintages!
Curious ave CVed (1/17/18).'06. More earthy ave funk on nose. Good balanced and acidic texture on palate and not as silky. Good long finish. 8.9. Perhaps more food friendly due to acidity. — 8 years ago

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Knights Valley.

Pretty color of dark ruby with a brick rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, cooked cherries, black plums, figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, cola, Indian spices, earth, chocolates, black pepper, pencil lead, turmeric, cumin and tobacco.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs, cola, turmeric, graphite, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, spices and cherries.

This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County. Showing great complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced with a long, smooth finish.

Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 3 hours of airtime, when the complexity shows up. Worth the wait.

Loved the nose, and kept smelling on it for a while. Tastes very much like a Napa Cabernet.

This Single Vineyard from the great 2014 vintage is rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward, deep and smooth. Tasty and delicious. Alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

Thank you David for sharing this with me.

A great sipping wine that doesn't need food at all. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Aged for 30 months in 90% new French oak barrels.

15.4% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

Near perfection....smooth butterscotch, carmel, cream with just enough complex apple and cinnamon spice on the nose. Medium body with a finish that lasts for minutes. My wife’s birth year and it’s nearly as impressive as she is. Worth every single penny!!! — 7 years ago
