A visit from ol reliable while out and about tonight. When Frank Family is on, it's delicious, just like this '13. Drinking really nice at a young age. Epitomizes Napa Cabs currently with bold and fruit driven flavors. A lot of red fruits on the nose like raspberries, but the darker blueberries came through on the tongue. The fruit seems a bit extracted...medium oak presence. This is a crowd pleaser when needing to satisfy a large group.

Happiest of New Years to my DL family. 2016 was my first DL year, and it's been a great experience getting to share great wines with y'all. Thank you for your insights...it's been an honor. Cheers to 2017!

A tasty and big, slightly fruit muted Cab from Orin Swift Cellars. I agree with some others that this is not the highest height that OSW has produced. Toasted coconut, vanilla, caramel and muted, under-notes of bing cherry. — 10 years ago

2001. Not the highest expression of Comtesse. We had the '94 and '01 back to back and the '94 was worlds ahead. The '01 seemed backward and awkward, aggressive and tannic. Still enjoyable. — 11 years ago

In honor of Washington Wine Month, a wine from a premier winery. For a nearly 12 year old wine, it tastes fresh and vibrant. Perfumed with blackberry, cassis and hints of cedar. On the tongue, it's silky smooth and elegant with acidity that suggests it could age another 3-5 more years. Incredible stuff. — 11 years ago

My favorite California Cab producer. Had the honor of pouring beside him in NYC, and touring his vineyard with Rebecca just before he passed. The closest thing to 1970's best cabs and incredible value. 2006 is lush full of everything you could hope for, earth, blackberry, leather, and a hint of smoke. A little hint of almost cognac on the finish, smooth and balanced finish. Acid still great and plenty of age left. Glad I have a lot more to enjoy — 10 years ago

Last night I had the honor of tasting this champagne from 1955. It had an itsy-bitsy hint of funk on the finish, but overall still exciting/pleasing. So thankful to have experienced. — 11 years ago
