Swing Time Red

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

PnP at a friend's house. Wonderful nose of blackberry, black currant, dried blueberries, cedar, eucalyptus, and tobacco that keeps intensifying with time in the glass. Full body with fully-integrated tannins and a long complex finish that fluctuates between black fruits, organic earth, and eucalyptus. Everything about this wine is in perfect harmony right now but it still has plenty of life left. — 7 years ago

Hands of Time Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

I love Stags Leap and this one is crazy reasonable and so good. Cherry flavored, soft on pallet. Beautiful wine. — 10 years ago

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Still really tight. Dark red purple. Classic cassis notes. Still plenty of time left. 2021 maybe? — 11 years ago

At lease 2021, cellared well.

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Took a really long time to open up, but ended up being pretty damn good. Not as good as some late 80s/early 90s Dunns I've had though. — 9 years ago

Opened my first 2013, couldn't wait! But I should have. Though it was absolutely beautiful, soft and delicious, it needed more time. The glasses left over from last night showed beautifully in the morning — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Young Caymus wine so some of the comments are interesting. Great dark berry flavors and much room to develop. Not the toasty oak of the 2012 but still needs some time to evaluate over the next 4 years. Still a fun wine to drink. — 8 years ago

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Second time in 3 weeks to enjoy this treat, though later vintage — 9 years ago

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 2010

An absolute masterpiece! It has a very spicy nose with a note of jalapeño. It has a massive and complex flavor with pepper, leather, and blackberries. It will only get better with time. — 10 years ago
