Heitz Cellar

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

It’s been open about 3 days and airing about 4 hours in the bottle. The nose is musky barnyard with wet oak, damp forest floor, wet leather and dark red fruit. There’s still some chalky tannins with acidity that rushes down the sides of your mouth and tongue. The red fruit carries forward, but more underripe with skins intact. It’s cleaner on the palate with a bit of damp cellar and dry earth, with notes of leather and red plum skin. The red plum and leather hang on into the finish. It’s a solid showing that I’d like to see where it develops over the next 3-5 years. — 5 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1987

Perfectly aged in large format bottle. Tannins have held up over time but don't overwhelm. Aromas: dried roses, burnt blackberry. Flavors: currant, dried cranberry, juniper. Beautiful wine. Once in a lifetime opportunity to taste it! — 8 years ago

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend

We tackled this monster at The River Cafe over the summer. Larger formats always seem to evolve that bit better over time and this was no exception. Absolutely fantastic. — 5 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

From a bottle with a nice fill and solid cork. Tawny color. Dense. Exotic nose. Notes of plum, black cherries, old wood desk, tobacco, leather saddle, dark soil and a little menthol. Improved over 5 hours as it got more air. Long finish. A truly great aged bottle of HB. — 6 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Young Caymus wine so some of the comments are interesting. Great dark berry flavors and much room to develop. Not the toasty oak of the 2012 but still needs some time to evaluate over the next 4 years. Still a fun wine to drink. — 9 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Aside from the cork disintegrating, this wine was quite tasty. First sip was after 3 hours of decanting and there was still much more to open up, as there was a dominant layer of funk hovering over it. — 10 years ago

We found a liquor store out in Cypress (the same liquor store that provided alcohol for our wedding) and they have a large stash of Caymus leftover, surprisingly. We bought our fair share, for sure.

And now we're moving on to a 750ml '10 Caymus. Delightful.
