Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Very nice vanilla toasted oak on the front with a rich and complex nose. We drank this with only a half hour of breathing and it was still tight. An excellent wine that will show even better with some decanting! — a month ago
Château Artigues-Arnaud
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Just bought this in Chamonix - while it's not a Puy Ducasse, it was a good value and the only 2009 I could find! Very fruit forward for a Bordeaux, and it does not taste like the classic expression that would cellar for decades. The wine has nice structure and opened nicely after 30 in bottle and 15 in the glass. The softness of the merlot is readily apparent (and pleasing). A nice off label Pauillac if you find it on the menu traveling around France. — a year ago

Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Wonderfully napa on the nose with nice tannic structure. Nice acidity to go with food, and it was ready to drink after an hour. A good wine, but not a good value wine. — a month ago
Revana Family Vineyard
St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
This is one of those wines that reminds you how truly special wine can be! Rich dark chocolate notes balanced with oak and the complexity that one expects of a fine Cabernet. For those of you that don’t have a Revana allocation - try to find some bottles for your cellar. — 4 months ago

Vineyard Designate Series D Rafanelli Vineyard Dry Terranes Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Interesting contrast to the usual rafanelli wines! Lighter in style, and distinct red cherries on the front end. Rafanelli does it better! — 2 years ago
Château Faugères
Cuvée Spéciale Péby St-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
What a classic right bank Bordeaux. Soft but well structured. This is one of those must try wines should be on your bucket list!!! — a month ago
Tenuta San Leonardo
San Leonardo Red Blend 2010
When in Portofino - drink like a worldly Italian!! This wine was a surprise find on my way to buy an ornellaia or chiappini - my two favorite Bolgheri wines with muscle AND finesse in the glass. This wine is from a cooler region in Italy however the Cabernet and Merlot could not have been shown better. There is pepper on the palette but otherwise the perfect balance and structure of these Bordeaux varietals. There is leather on the front end, and the acidity and lower alcohol made this wine a great addition to our meal. A guaranteed winner of any blind tasting!! — a year ago

Soft and structured. Excellent tannic structure. A Cabernet-lovers right bank blend. Enjoyable vanilla notes from the oak. This will last many years in your cellar if you can resist opening the bottle! — 4 days ago
