Chateau Montelena

The Montelena Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1991

Super dark purple color, very primary dark fruits, rich, good balance, (ripe) tannins are there, but drinks like a 10-year-old Cal Cabernet, absolutely fabulous!!! — 2 years ago

@Doug Powers Down to my last 2 bottles. 

Inglenook

Cask Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1961

Cask J1. Dark blackish tawny color. Very much opaque. Wispy, rustic nose. Notes of charcoal, roses, mocha, cola, vanilla, and charred barrel. Seems very old to me. Is it fortified? While I'm trying to ascertain what this might be, it's revealed as old school Cal Cab. Pretty impressive stuff. — 3 years ago

Laurel Glen Vineyard

Counterpoint Sonoma Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1995

Always been a fan of the 1995 Cal Cabs, this shows just a trace of a green note up front, but nicely balanced, ready to drink, second label Laurel Glen!! — 3 years ago

Miss those 80's and 90's vintages of Laurel Glen. Tough love in a bottle.

Casa Lapostolle

Canto de Apalta Red Blend 2012

Father feeley gave us this wine — 5 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1986

Backward mountain fruit, but not as tannic as I’d expected, though this should easily last another 25 years, old school Cal Cabernet (13% ABV) that I long for!! — 2 years ago

@Doug Powers Actually bought an ‘05 today . 

Nicholson Jones

St. Helena Sauvignon Blanc 2016

One of my favorite small production wine, 300 cases. Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing & wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Aromas of lemon citrus with herb, stone & tropical fruits. Palate, peach, Granny Smith apple & ripe melon flavors with lively citrus zest wrapped in lbalanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Consistent! Nice! — 5 years ago
