Freemark Abbey

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

The boisterous nose is worth the entire price of admission on this one. Cedar, cassis, black and red berries, gravel, graphite, roasted herbs. Dark and intense in the mouth. Flavors on the lower end of the register. Tacky tannins still very present, but the flavors are nicely evolved. I’d say this is peaking soon, and probably won’t live to see the tannins totally softer, but they’ll be tamed by the porterhouse I’m about to grill. — 5 months ago

Bolognese leftovers?
Bam!
Rich toasty on the nose.
What a fun, easy malbec for the price!
Finished a bottle in college once. Was in the attic watching TV in a party house. Nostalgic vibes only.

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

At our second special Caymus dinner on Sky Princess serving this wine. I’ve had lots of Caymus wines over the years. This is in line with the brand, but not what I remember from the wines from the late 70’s. As the price increased, I lost interest. It’s ok, but I feel there are better wines at the price point for the Cabernet Sauvignon. — 9 months ago

Opus One tasting

2019 Opus

2012 Opus

The 12 drinks really well with time to go but hard to imagine it gets a lot better, the 17 was uninspiring with muted nose and subdued taste, the 19 has good potential in 6-9 years. Note: Pours were a little light for the price, so buyer beware!

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Nice for a steak dinner at a restaurant for a reasonable price. Pop and pour Zinfandel blend. Deep color, fruit and spice aroma. Palate is heavily red Zinfandel with dark berries, plum, and spice - pepper with a hint of nutmeg and vanilla. Balanced tannins and acidity. Short but pleasant finish. — 8 months ago
