First experience with this choice (2015)! Paired beautifully with a very fresh and ‘lemony’ chicken piccata, fresh and crisp yet full bodied! I might be in love, but first I need a second date! — 7 years ago

It’s time for my Friday's Cabernet fix. Here is a nice one from Sonoma County, California.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose with black currants, cherries, plums, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth and light vegetables.
Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, earth, green tea, vegetables and graphite.
Medium-plus on the finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from a Double Magnum is a nice surprise. Very tasty and easy to drink.
Well balanced with nice complexity. Spicy with a nice mouthfeel.
Needs a full hour to open up properly. I used 4 decanters.
After 2 hours of airtime, it drinks like a Left Bank Bordeaux. Interesting stuff.
Could continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$120 (double Magnum). — 6 years ago

Very good RRV Chardonnay with definite oak on the mid palate and medium acidity. Might have gone to a 9 if there were more distinctive fruit in the nose or taste. — 9 years ago
Mellow as you sip with a peppery tang of flavour as it goes down. Just delicious. — 9 years ago
$24. Full body with nice finish. — 10 years ago
Small red fruits slightly green and tannic don't mask the good drinkability — 11 years ago
1977 Martin Ray: almost unctuous, with strong and wonderful acidity. Nose of plums, old cedar, earth. Not an explosion of aroma, but really nice for an old Napa. — 11 years ago
