St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

95-96. Compared to the hunnicutt last night, this is more fruit forward with a sweeter softer glycerine profile. Dark red fruit/ Blackberry/cassis/spice/slight hint of cocoa. Both great wines. — 8 years ago

Brinkman Block Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Fantastic GIII fruit. Deep rich character. Blackberry, leather, a little spice. Nice long balanced finish. Decanted for 2 hours. Needs more than that. Structure leads me to believe this is a 25+ year wine. — 5 years ago

🤯🤯🤯 @Jason and Jennie so good!
Have a great Easter weekend my Delectable friends!!!
Opened this morning at 5:30 am, aerated into decanter and then back into bottle. Corked it and opened after bike ride around 5:30 pm. So much energy! Such great balance. Wish I had more time to put down notes.

Knights Valley Merlot 2016

As @David T said, this has bigger tannins. Cab lover’s merlot. Enjoy the tobacco and leather balanced with the generous fruit. This is a fun one-off one for hunnicutt. Good value. — 7 years ago

You’ve been enjoying their wines far longer than me for comparison. However, I read this wine similarly. It does have bigger tannins for Merlot; which for me, says it’s going to need 7-10 years in bottle to show just how good it can be. It’s a Merlot to cellar.

Cuvée Équité Napa Valley Red Blend 2014

93-94. Too bad they aren’t making more of this as realm is replanting the farella merlot to cab. I just love this vineyard for merlot. Blend it with kenefick cab and you got a winner. — 8 years ago

Bevan Cellars

Ontogeny Oakville Red Wine

Side by side against the Hunnicutt Brinkman (GIII fruit), Bevan’s blend was more fruit forward, a little richer and more dense. Raspberry and blackberry morphed into a darker, slightly earthy finish still with pronounced fruit. Less complex than the Hunnicutt but still a great bottle of wine. Really hard to go wrong with either one. — 5 years ago

Rivers-Marie

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

You know, when I coravin’d this last night, I thought the tannins were pretty strong and dominant. Today, I opened this up and coravin’d 2016 napa cabs from hunnicutt and quivet for a blind flight. Surprisingly, I thought this was very accessible and tasting the best currently. The quivet was the softest and also drinking nice. It tasted like a mike smith wine but less fruit forward than the majority of his wines. The hunnicutt was pretty powerful and I think needs some time or decanting. It will be really good. — 7 years ago
