47 years old! Amber color and OTH but still kicking! You go, Joe Cafaro. Orange-wine-like. Savory and tart. — 3 years ago

Totally over performing bottle!

Cafaro

Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Could have gone another 10 without breaking a sweat. Cedar, raspberry puree and just that flavor/characteristic that age brings to Cabernet. Those of you who know will understand but others just know that years of age don't compare to decanting. — 6 years ago

Cafaro

Napa Valley Merlot 2003

From magnum.

Jack: "...and if they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot".

Miles: "No! If anybody orders Merlot I'm leaving. I'm not drinking any F...... Merlot".

I'm generally with Miles here but stayed and enjoyed this.

Dashe Cellars

Iron Oak Vineyard Merlot 2002

Dark red/black fruit and still has very firm tannins. Black cherry nose, dusty tannins and soft finish.
Has a Bordeaux profile, reminds me of Cafaro.
