@Eric Urbani , lucky you. Great price. I think the price is somewhat a reflection of the vintage?

@Ron R maybe, I just grabbed it lol. But that is a great site for picking up aged Napa Cabs at a great discount.

I agree, @Eric Urbani. I used to be a heavy user of Winebid. At the right price, you can snag some great values. Also, I have some great Napa cabs from the 17 vintage. Good producers like Larkmead tend to deliver, regardless of the vintage. Not sure I’ll hold what 17’s I have for much longer tho.

Caymus Vineyards

40th Anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

I was surprised it was in a clear glass bottle. Still very young but surprisingly light. Very vanilla with fresh cherry’s. Not a big Cabernet at all. — 7 months ago

Mayacamas Vineyards

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Deep Ruby color with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and complex spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, vanilla, integrated toasty oak, tobacco and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and earthy notes, starting to drink now but a little time will benefit, small production! A nice fillet mignon with mushroom gravy will go well. — 2 months ago

Really looked forward to this one, but a little bit too rich to warrant higher score. Missing the acidity/tension a bit.
Edit: and it was served too warm..

One Point Five Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. A bit more fruit than the 2021 vintage sampled just prior. Still...über-pleasant and giving now. Cellar it. PNP it tonight. Somewhere in between...doesn't really matter as you'll be more than satisfied regardless of your decision. 03.19.25. — 4 months ago

Delicious. This had a lot of fruit while still maintaining depth and a bit of complexity.

Tannins were present but not too strong.

Overall very smooth
