Heitz Cellar
Bella Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Magnum to celebrate Thanksgiving- '91 vintage, bottled in '95. Took some time to open up but continued improving as it breathed- fruity up front with some light notes of tobacco. Finished very smooth even if a bit past peak. Memorable drink. — 2 years ago
Charles Smith
Chateau Smith Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Decent cab, but not very bold or fruit forward. Good to pair with lighter fare or as a change from heavier cabs.

Just a really approachable and easy to drink red. Paired well with a multitude of foods, from red meat to heartier seafood, and never disappointed. Only improved with air & time- definitely a good choice to break out for dinner parties/special occasions. — 8 months ago
