Beautiful purity of Howell Mountain from dark berries plums with tannins that have laid down if anyone doubts the age ability of California cabs drink this wine. This is simple purity Howell mountain fruit — 12 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! — 11 years ago

9.0

2009: quite dense appearance; ripe black / red fruit w a faint touch of horse hair (Brett ); generously proportioned attack of ripe red and black fruit, leads onto medium weight palate which finishes fruitfully but without the verve of a "classic" vintage. A satisfying and quite delicious drink without being memorable. A lot of 09 burgundies would fit these descriptors. — 12 years ago

Cristal Brut Champagne 1996

This was great, though someone forgot to put it on ice and then put ice cubes in it to cool it down! Arrggg. Still tastes great though. Oh and half the bottle is left and it was left out overnight. Never buying anything this nice again. — 12 years ago
