Compared the two vintages side by side. Both delicious and full body, but the 2009 was the favourite

Excellent wine - earthy, full bodied. Silky smooth.

Still hanging in there, but should be drank now. Rustic, but still fresh. Dark chocolate, licorice, and mulled red and black fruit. Balanced with faded tannins and enough acid.

Simple red fruit, a little spice, mild raisin. Alcohol felt higher than what was on bottle.

Intensity you'd expect from rivers brown. Very nice from lake county for a 2002. Loads of red fruit and acidity with a nice finish. An unexpected surprise for this Cabernet.

Nobody seems to like this, but its not bad with some age on it now.

Opened 3 bottles of 2005. Two were grassy and very fruit forward. Fell apart fast. The third was fruit forward with little grass. Still no age left . Tasted the same 5 years ago. Drink now.

Schrader のセカンドDouble Diamond。Bomber Xを過去に飲んだが、非常に好印象だったので、畑違いのAmber Knollsを。非常に希少性が高いので見つけたら飲む事をお勧めします!
