I have a lot of these and most have been ok but this one was further along in its development. Knew I needed to drink these. Faster is the word of the day. — 9 months ago

Rubicon Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1995

Wow! What a beautiful wine. Wine of the night for sure. Was opened for a few hours and decanted but as good as it was it probably would have been better as a pop and pour. — 13 years ago

1994 and 1995 are arguably the 2 best vintages of the '90s decade at Rubicon and arguably the best vintages produced during Scott McLeod era.

Shafer Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot 2023

2023 vintage. Light-medium body with excellent, back-end, enduring concentration without it being contrived or heavy-handed. Darting accents and flourishes throughout. Not the cheapest Merlot and it could still use a year or two but nice effort. Had been told at some point in the last few years that all the Merlot vines had been ripped out. Maybe they have and this is all purchased fruit? Difficulty remembering what lunch constituted tho so…4.1.26. — 7 months ago

Back in CA attacking the cellar...not remembering where I acquired this but really enjoyed! Haven’t followed this winery for awhile but probably should. I don’t think I have any more of this. — 6 years ago
