Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

While it is a great bottle of wine, the 2013 does not compare to the 2012. Bold fruit, tampered down by some proper tannins. And then there is that wonderful velvety Rutherford dust on the long finish. — 9 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Drinkable now or lay down. Plum, leather, dark cherry. Jordan cabs are classics and always reliable. What got me hooked on wine. — 9 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

This 2008 was cellared for almost five years after purchased in 2012. Consumed Nov 2015, the best way to describe this delight is that "it melts in your mouth". You do not even feel it as it goes down, the taste begins with its scents as soon as it hits your palate. Delightfully fruity with cherry, blackberry and jam. — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Hands down the best wine I have ever had. The depth and complexity were outstanding — 10 years ago

Yes there do seem to be bubbles in it. I got fresh citrus, quince (easily confused with soap) and hints of brioche on the finish.

It is of course the perfect terroir for cooler climate wines... Hence the lemongrass notes
