Muscat Petit Grain Clairette Blend

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1989

Beautifully evolved nose of leather, mulberry, brambly red berries, clove and dried mint. Medium-bodied with a regal countenance—there is still tons of structure, with mouth-coating fine grain tannin in abundance. Truly, this wine could go on and on and on in the cellar. The 1989 Château Montrose is not terribly fruit-driven, rather it's interior space is occupied by notes of dusty, clayey soil, cedar, black tea and spice. That wonderful impression of clove is on the finish, too. — 11 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

Rich and youthful, but contrastingly mature notes offer multiples of complexity. Aromas of black cherry, currants, fall leaves, and sweet tobacco. The palate shows the same with notes of mint, medium grain and silky smooth tannins. The finish sails on clean and pure with good acidity and energy. — 12 years ago

Melka

CJ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

Great stuff, Napa Cabernet with a well knit structure of grace and power. Dark red core with red edges this was ready to go from the pull of the cork. Graphite, currants and black cherry, a dollop of oak. A long fleshy finish with medium grain silky and ripe tannins. — 12 years ago
