Got better as it opened up, but some rough edges — a month ago
Lovely, albeit typical Napa Cab with deep berry and vanilla notes. Not much tannin or complexity. — 4 months ago
Delightful Washington Cabernet Sauvignon ($25) with Pat’s grilled filet mignon. Nice nose, rich with dark fruit, medium bodied, and long finish — 7 months ago
I beg to differ on my prior rating. With some airtime, this comes into its own. Places merlot on a different level. The cab franc gives this structure and presence. No rush to consume. Nice acidity and cherry compote on the mid palate. Finished luscious and moderately sweet. — 16 hours ago
ちょっとお高いカリフォルニアのCS。うきうき税込4680円の2016年もの。うーん❤️、ボルドー信者には無理かも知れませんが、個人的にはかなりの高級感。香り、凝縮感、アフターすべて申し分ないです。

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot, Malbec and Petite Verdot blended in. Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black berry/currant/cherry with additional notes of dried figs and tobacco. Dark fruit also on the palate with hints of dark chocolate, plums, roasted nuts, sweet spices and earth. Lovely hint of graphite on the long finish. Full bodied but so savory well balanced. Velvety tannins. Thanks for sharing this one during Super Bowl LIX, Mark S! — 3 months ago
Mom loved this wine and noted that *maybe* she does like Cabs. Really wanted a second bottle but that unfortunately was not possible. — 5 months ago
