Fresh meadow, stonefruit going into light tropicals.

Medium acidity. Nice, not out of balance. Ripe stonefruit, peaches, light lychee. Brisk minerality.

Pretty vintage. Have a ‘99 that’ll be fun to compare to — 3 months ago

Oddly, this red blend from Sonoma from Costco … was delicious. Rich, fruity, deep fruit … like a fresh cab (?) I’d buy this again. — 3 years ago

Here is a fabulous 99 point wine by Robert Parker.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Great nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, earth, vanilla, Mediterranean spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.

Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, figs, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, herbs, light earth, cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley.

Showing nice balance and a great mouthfeel. Round and rich. Elegant and smooth.

This 22 year old still has a lot of power in it, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.

So soft and powerful, with a great nose. This is a gorgeous wine right now.

A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 24 months.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

96 points.

$250. — 2 years ago

Beautiful wine. Slightly prefer the 1999, which I had last night. The ‘99 was musty and tasted lots of mushrooms. The ‘01 is still earthy, but fruitier. Dark fruits, with a bit of tobacco and cedar. — a year ago

An elegant, full-body Cabernet that paired perfectly with an incredible Tomahawk steak. The perfect bottle to celebrate our anniversary! RP gave this 99 points in 2016 and I think it deserves 100 points today. Thanks for recommending this @Billy L. , it was such a great tasting at Cliff Lede. I am lucky to have you as my sommelier! — 5 years ago
