Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
2021 red blend Columbia Valley. Consumed in July 2024. I have previously rated the same bottle, but since this is a different vintage, I thought I would do it again. It’s still consistently a good wine. Goes great with food. I also enjoy it by itself. The bottle does not tell me what the blend is And the bottle talks about mixing street art with wine making.  — 23 days ago

Michael Mondavi Family
Emblem Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Consumed 12/2023 I did not consume this with food. It seems I didn’t really like this one but I can’t remember for sure and I’m reading it too late to remember. Everything about it makes me think that I would rate it well, but I’m just going to put it in the middle.  — 9 months ago
Robinson Family Vineyards
Great Legs Coombsville District Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
The Robinsons make great wine. And who wouldn’t love the bottle!?! I used to visit them every October. I cellared this bottle a little longer than I should have. Consumed August 2024. It was still drinkable. But I know I waited too long. The legs that this bottle produces are fantastic. Here is what the label says: Three amazing women. Three sisters, three lovely pairs of legs! Ruby red and luscious it tempts your pallet with the essence of all that is fun, free and flirty. Carrie, Kim and Robin have intertwined their charms to bring you their take on the wine that the Napa Valley is celebrated for. Give the wine glass a swirl and watch the exquisite legs appear before your eyes. I wanted to rate it higher, but it’s my fault for waiting so long to consume it, it affects my rating. 14.5% ABV — 23 days ago
Maddalena
Estate Reserve Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Consumed 02/2024. It has intense flavors and plush mouth fill, and a deep color. Ripe blackberry and dark cherry flavors are complemented by spicy oak from barrel aging. Enjoy with grilled steaks as well as hearty pastas. I had it with a steak and it was really good. I tried drinking it by itself, and did not like it as well.  — 9 months ago

Octopoda
Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon
The bottle has an octopus on it and it is really cool. I received this in July 2024 as a gift. I did not like it just drinking it by itself. I paired it with food, although I don’t remember what and I thought it was OK. 14.5% ABV — 23 days ago
Sandeman
Founder's Reserve Ruby Porto
Consumed 11/23 . 20% ALC by VOL. The bottle says, superb on its own served in a large glass, with cheese, or rich, chocolate, desserts, or as an appetite, chilled, or on ice. This was recommended by a staff member at total Wine. I don’t hate it, but I do prefer other ports that I’ve had.  — 9 months ago
