In December I took my Chicago Bear/San Diego-LA Charger loving Dad for a trip to to Chicago that culminated in a trip to Green Bay to catch a Packer game. We stopped off in Elkhart Lake with my friend from CA who grew up in the area and his sister runs the Lake Street Cafe in town. This was WOTN of the 4 wines that I brought to this leg of the trip. So much depth here, mouth coating tannins and gobs of well integrated fruit. — 7 years ago

It is time for my Friday's Cabernet fix. This week it's a fabulous Cabernet from Alexander Valley.

Dark ruby in color with a short purplish rim.

Strong nose of cedar, leather, brown sugar, bacon, blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, light vegetables, coffee, chocolates, blue cheese, earth, tobacco leaf, spices, peppercorn, smoke and peppermint.

Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, cedar, leather, earth, peppercorn, spices, mold, green vegetables, chocolates, mocha and cola.

Long finish with firm tannins and black pepper.

This is a great Cabernet from Sonoma County. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing good complexity with some vegetable notes. Spicy with a great chewy mouthfeel.

Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself, and will age nicely in the next 20 years.

Will pair very nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec. Aged for 24 months in American Oak barrels (50% new).

13.9% alcohol by volume. — 7 years ago

Knife-throwing act where the knives are carved from peppercorns and the target board is a quilt of cherries. Beautiful Italian women casually offer themselves as targets, laughing and sipping espresso. — 9 years ago

In terms of dry, textural white wine I am still to find one more suitable for all situations. Serve slightly chilled to highlight the stone fruits and the buttery nuttiness of the marsanne. — 10 years ago

To celebrate 15,000 followers on Instagram, here's a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Extremely fruity on the nose with blackberries, blueberries, raisins, figs, vanilla, cedar, toast, graphites, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather, smoke, chocolates, mocha, coke and coffee.

Full bodied, smooth and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherry pie, raisins, vanilla, cedar, leather, chocolates, tobacco, licorice, peppercorn, spices, earth, mocha and dark roast coffee.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a wonderful Napa Cabernet. Still young, but drinking very nicely now, with lots of fruits and nice complexity.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (2 hours). After 3 hours, big tannins come in.

This should lay down for another 10 years, to be appreciated even more. At this point it might be too fruity for some. Aging it for 7 to 10 years will do the trick.

I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.

Drunk from a 1 liter bottle.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$80. — 6 years ago

One of my favorite wines of all time. The nose is absolutely haunting but on this night the palate fell a bit short of the perfect bottle I had a year ago. Still a breathtaking wine but not quite perfect on this night. — 7 years ago

62 years old and really good! This will sound weird but the Predominant flavor was bacon!! Paired well with red wine braised short ribs. — 8 years ago

The usually tight tannic punch has faded and melded with the usual Washington velvet, a dark abyss of blackberry, plum, black cherry, it's in a nice place, I honestly wanted the kick in the mouth, but it's more elegant than you would expect. And I'm okay with buying her dinner, cause she delivers! She wore the long dress, thought I'd be looking at a short skirt, but this long dress is taking me home, thanks! She got feisty after she opened up & she delivers impressed! Give it 1hr and she will sing in your ear! — 11 years ago

My wife and I had the 2011 after recommendation from her brother who is well versed on wines. This was a great wine with veal that we prepared at home. We had the pleasure of eating lunch at the family's restaurant in Vienna a few months ago and enjoyed the experience and personnel immensely. This is an intense wine but very smooth with plum, black cherry and other complex fruity flavors. In short a great Tuscan wine. We were able to get this for just under $90 at our local Total Wine store. We are waiting to enjoy the bottles of the 2012 that are in the wine cabinet. — 8 years ago
