Ridge Vineyards
Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000
2000 vintage. Deep ruby, edging to deep garnet around the rim, very bright. Plush on the nose. The black cassis notes from the Cab and the violets from the Cab Franc are very noticeable. The wine is developing with huge sweet spice, vanilla, smoke and leather. There's a bovril, meaty note here that's very attractive. On the palate, medium acidity, high tannin - grippy, but not coarse; well integrated. Alcohol is 13% and unobtrusive. Good concentration. Fruit is riper on palate than in the mouth, and a distinctive dark chocolate and cinnamon note. The finish is long and attractive. Hard to imagine this wine drinking any better from here. — 11 years ago

Marchesi Antinori
Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2001
Needed decanting as it was hard as nails when first opened. Great balance of fruit and acidity with tannins quite pronounced. Beautiful with assorted pastas at Collichio & Sons — 11 years ago
Dunn Vineyards
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Out of magnum. Little heat taint here, probably not stored great. Still good wine hit its peak at about 30 minutes of the decanter well-integrated oak definitely can tell it's mountain fruit hard to say what it be like if it was a clean bottle. — 12 years ago

I read on Delectable that this Pinot is a Cab lover's Pinot and she was right. I usually pass on Pinot because a good one is so hard for me to find. But this one is really, really good. I've had the Belle Glos from Meiomi, which I've liked as well, but this is equally as good. Great spice along with the fruit. Found this on sale on Cape Cod for $17 - a bargain for wine that drinks like this. — 11 years ago
