Smith Madrone

Estate Bottled Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon

Great Cab. Drinks very nice. Smooth, with flavors of dark berry and cedar/mahogany. Medium bodied. Will only get better with age! Buy some for the cellar. — 10 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2004

Maturing well and softer tannins for a cab sav than other Serge Hochar wines. Drinks well now. — 11 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

I've loved it more that last few times I've had it. But if I remember correctly, it was the Italian wine of the year. A little tapenade-ey, but still some sweet fruit and great mouthfeel. Drinks NOTHING like Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

Who rated this wine the best? The more I drink it, the less I like it. The more it feels like a six year old Chilean cult wine. And that's not high praise, unfortunately.

Turley

Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel 2009

Wow this is good. Drinks like it was made yesterday. Delish! — 12 years ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Oh so good. $39. Fruit forward and drinks like cab, better than most cabs. — 12 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Needs to breathe a bit at first, but drinks well. Tastes more expensive than it is. Good red! — 13 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

One of, if not THE best cab made in the US of A. This vintage is a little young but drinks beautifully. I would love to find a wine that rivals Dunn. — 11 years ago

Daou Vineyards

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This wine is incredibly good, great price, drinks well with red meat. — 11 years ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2014

Yep, that's Lapierre in the fridge. Love the ease with which the 2014 drinks. Buyers beware. This will disappear quickly. — 11 years ago

Le Pergole Torte Sangiovese 1999

Great drinks beautifully — 11 years ago

Silver Oak

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Slightly sweet due to American oak, lovely blend and drinks well now. — 12 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

Lean, round, rustic, rocky and other worldly. Literally, it drinks like a slightly chubbier Bordeaux. The only problem with this wine is that I shared it with people who were expecting Mindavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve style wine. Sigh. I miss you. — 13 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2012

Fruit forward. Heavier tannins than expected but drinks great. Will be outstanding in a few years. Ridge never disappoints. — 10 years ago

Domaine A. et P. de Villaine

Bouzeron Aligoté 2013

Ocean spray, crushed sea shell, beautiful minerality, drinks like a Chablis...elegant — 11 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

I read on Delectable that this Pinot is a Cab lover's Pinot and she was right. I usually pass on Pinot because a good one is so hard for me to find. But this one is really, really good. I've had the Belle Glos from Meiomi, which I've liked as well, but this is equally as good. Great spice along with the fruit. Found this on sale on Cape Cod for $17 - a bargain for wine that drinks like this. — 11 years ago

Domaine Pinnacle

Cidre de Glace-Ice Cider Apple Cider 2012

One of the purest expressions of a single fruit I have ever experienced. Anyone who has ever picked apples in October will be transported. It smells of autumn and frost and youth. — 11 years ago

Bodegas Drinks and Dreams

D + D Douro+Duero Douro Red Blend

Great Georgian toast is to your neighbor - he is the most important, especially if you moved into new place.

Here are neighbors from one river banks, but different countries. Sogevinus Fine Wines & Bodegas Emilio Moro - made this opulent, rich and silky wine. Elegant fruit, wrapped into noble oak, great wine -with each sip I can contemplate about toasts wisdom - vostok delo tonkoe.

Maybe missing a bit of length,but I forgive them, the balance is perfect. Don't expect claws, this is tuxedo dress code.
