Second Cheapest Wine
Caymus Vineyards
Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1978
Second bottle of 78 I've had this year. The fruit is still present but soft, this wine has surprisingly held up beautifully and is drinking very well. — 11 years ago
Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1996
Unreal nose, barnyard, leather amazing long finish. Second end of lunch wine. — 11 years ago
Château Léoville-Las Cases
Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1992
The second LLC1992 in one month, again a great effort and I think the best 1992. Fantastic concentration and ripe green impressions — 13 years ago
Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.
2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.
The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

Blankiet Estate
Prince of Hearts Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012
The nose is alluring, still a little young, really opened up on the second day — 11 years ago
Château Léoville Barton
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1988
Ranked second in cans at Andres — 11 years ago
Peter Michael Winery
'L'Esprit des Pavots' Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2003
Could use a bit more acid, but overall very nice for a second wine. Drinking at peak in my estimation. — 10 years ago
Silver Oak
Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1991
All those intense tannins one associates with Silver Oak have softened into what would pass for a very nice second growth — 10 years ago
Tenuta San Guido
Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1985
1985 Sassicaia. Second red wine at Redd Wood lunch w A, S, and K. This wine was perfect. Epic. We could not believe how perfect this wine was drinking. Thoroughly enjoyed it- it was enjoyable the way truffles are- hard to describe, but pleasing to all relevant senses. — 11 years ago
John Kanellopoulos
The second wine of this superb vineyard lighter body than the "bigger" brother, exquisite blend possibly from a more gravely part of Grave making this behave more like a left bank btw the food here is not bad...worth all 3 stars! — 10 years ago
