Mayacamas Vineyards

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

This is good, real good. It's an old school taste and the age goes perfect with the classic feel. The acidity is something real special as if the age has made a case for a new form of freshness. With a case for marginal error, I have mistakenly consumed four bottles tonight. My piss has shown signs of turning into a small Californian vineyard. One thing I learned through my day is that greatness should not be abused, so I have decided to cork the bottle for tomorrow. I will have a concise review in the morning because I am not an alcoholic. — 11 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Pours clean dark purple into the glass showing no age. I'll be damned if one couldn't enjoy the dark fruit aroma from 5 feet away. Wow. Dark fruit, leather and pleasant oak quality supplemented with a silky tannic structure that gave a 60 sec finish. Not the most complex Latour I've enjoyed at this point but this bottle actually tightened up over an hour after opening indicating much life ahead. Sheeeit! — 12 years ago

Château Léoville Poyferré

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1975

Wonderful soft mixed fruit that have blended into classic claret. Decanted three hours and it was solid food wine all evening. Our 40th anniversary pre-wine. Not tannic like most '75's- mid weight with a nice aromatic finish - a joy to drink. — 12 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

You obviously know what you're getting into with this one - tannin, tannin, and more tannin. Amazing structure, nice acid, if you're in the mood for one of the Napa big boys this isn't a bad way to do it. — 12 years ago
