Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

Velvety mouthfeel with medium tannins. Robust red and dried fruits, finish of vanilla and graphite. Quaffable af. Would pair with lamb, rabbit, pork, cheese, hummus. Versatile. Honestly not worth it's price point. An off vintage from a delicious vinyard. Would not be hard to find a bottle 1/5 of the price. — 11 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1996

My first Sassicaia. A 1996. This helped me to understand perfection in a glass. I was humbled to experience the potential greatness of a super Tuscan. Velvety tannins with the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc dancing harmoniously together and yet revealing itself individually in layers. At Bohemian restaurant NYC. — 12 years ago
