Amazing for its age. Complex and elegant. Wish they still made wine this good. — 9 years ago

Had this wine as part of our 19 year wedding anniversary meal. At 19 years from vintage, this wine is showing incredibly well. Tannins are still firm and there is an excellent, overall, structure that I would say should hold for another 5-10 years. I wish I had another bottle or two to try in that timeframe. — 9 years ago

As I put my sweet baby girl to bed after a looong day, snuggling with her in her new "big girl bed", I found a stray eyelash on her cheek. Maybe I'm alone in this, but for as long as I can remember I have been superstitiously transferring these from one finger to another...and if I blow the lash off while making a wish, "they" say it will come true. I tried wishing this was a 2007 Screaming Eagle - or that I could magically be beamed onto David Lentine's Napa trip for the night (ha!). Alas, no such luck. Seriously thou, with my kids' lashes, I have always wished the same thing: "may you have a wonderful life." But I made this addition: "may you always have the courage to be yourself." #inthistogether #overturnHB2 #onlylove — 10 years ago

Wondeful bottle! A wish we could've stayed on this wine for 5-10 more years. Oh, it would open up nicely! — 12 years ago

Ok. It's Friday, isn't it? Time for some Napa Cabernet...

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a thin, dark ruby rim.

Tight on the nose, with blackberries, blueberries, cherries, licorice, figs, cloves, earth, leather, cherries, oak, smoke, eucalyptus, chocolates, vanilla, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Bone dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, earth, leather, black tea, coffee, tobacco, heavy cola and peppercorn.

Medium plus in finish with firm, bold tannins and spices.

This is a good quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Single Vineyard, from Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley.

Still young, and wouldn't open up even after 3 hours. Needs a few more years in the bottle.
Not fully balanced yet, but complex and definitely drinkable.

I wish the nose would give out some, but the palate was pleasant. Better with food right now, but I'm sure that in a few years, this would be a great sipping wine.

I Paired it with filet mignon and roasted potatoes.

Grapes are grown in Mount Vedder, on gravely soil, and are hand harvested.

14.5 % alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago

So darn good and drinkable and silky at such a young age. The pallet is full of flavor. You can taste the levels of earth and berry. Great with the pork chop I had for dinner. I wish I had more right now. — 10 years ago

This bottle was one of four I kept for a few years. This one was incredible, the others were rubbish. Not sure what happened but wish they were all this good! — 10 years ago

My second bottle from the vintage. After letting it breathe for an hour, the oxidation helped it balance out some of the rough edges i remember from the first tasting. It has a very good balance of tannins, fruit, and acidity. Will get better for the foreseeable future. I wish I had bought more. — 11 years ago

Still inky and scrumptious. Really wish they still made this. Should drink just as well for a few more years. — 11 years ago

Good for a hearty meal but really more for after, terrific chocolate notes makes me think of pairing with dessert. Very high alcohol, is this a port sailing under the flag of Zin? Wish I had bought more. — 9 years ago

This poor bottle has been with me for years, in several different locations (closet, refrigerator, basement, wine fridge...) figured I'd put it out of its misery finally. Seemed like I killed it on opening, but really blossomed with air. Ripe concentrated cassis and dark herbal elements. Wish I could have (properly) held on to this a little longer — 10 years ago

Do you ever drink at lunch? Me neither......weeeelll, rarely...and sometimes in retrospect I wish I had. It relaxes you and certainly loosens things up. I did this weekend post race. We caravan'd down to Charleston for bridge run weekend. Enjoyed this cab outside upon return to DI. This Darioush 2nd label is always solid and doesn't break the bank. Luckily some car dancing with my stepdaughter playing DJ on the caravan back burned off some drinking calories ;) — 10 years ago
