So This Happened...

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

I love La Mish and this is one of my favs! So aromatic and complex showing sweet black fruits, tar, earth, cedar tobacco, soy and black olive. This has reached its peak drinking window and will drink well for at least another 5 yrs. — 9 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2010

Very young but lovely fresh apricots, peaches and pineapple. Honeysuckle and white flowers. What really makes this wine amazing though is the body. It's big and round the whole way through where so many Sauternes fall either in the middle or finish. Lovely. — 9 years ago

Looking forward to Saturday's Caymus wine tasting at TW.....

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir

The rating scale goes up to 10 for wines like this. Insanely enchanting nose. Reminded me of smelling a perfectly cooked duck drizzled with pomegranate reduction. More aromatic inspection leads to rose water, hibiscus, subtle dried oak leaves and so many more tiny lovely things. Bright, vibrant but not sharp, this is the definition of great wine. Mind blown! — 9 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1985

This is the 1985 Napa Cab and was tasted out of 5 liter. This wine was excellent! Herbal notes with a touch of saddle. I was so surprised by how much red fruit was on the pallet with a wine this old! Amazing! — 10 years ago
