One of my fave Zin makers. This one with dashes of carignane and petite Syrah. Intensely flavored with ripe dark fruit, pencil shavings and baking spices. Lots of acid to lift the richness. Long finish of fruit and spice. — 8 years ago
Desert Island wine for certain.

Almost Inky in color with a very short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.
Dry and fruity on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, black plums, sweet cherries, cedar, earth, vanilla, spices, espresso, chocolates, herbs, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.
Long finish with medium tannins and cherries.
This is another delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity, soft and elegant.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime.
Complex and engaging. Rich and flavorful. Fruit forward and elegant.
This 11-year-old is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

Less acidity than I am used to I. The Vaulorent. But still an almost ideal pairing with oysters. — 3 years ago

Lovely bottle of the ‘87 opened May 2019. I don’t have much experience with older vintages but seemed to have aged well although maybe a bit past it’s prime. Smooth and balanced with good depth of flavor. Perfect for a rich beef dinner with smashed Yukon golds and gravy. — 5 years ago
Yes, now we're talkin' -- heavy. Cherries; slight licorice. — 5 years ago
This wine is in a GOOD spot right now. CT Average of about 93, and I'd say that this is about right. 93-95 as this one still has probably 7-8 years before it is pop and pour. Acidic at the opening, but the patience (which we didn't have) would have served us well. Cabernet power from the front. Blackberry preserves, hint of mint, white pepper, hint of clove, middle that goes a little bit herbal, but still very considerable black fruit. Finishes strong, with pepper, spice. I know the last 750 I have is in danger, and hopefully I can also lay off the mag for at least a couple of years. — 6 years ago
