Main Street Winery
California Cabernet Sauvignon
Carmenet
Dynamite Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
I found this 97 north Coast Cab hiding away in my wine cellar, what a pleasant surprise! Good balance, nice fruit, mellow without losing its substance. Perfect to accompany the sunset on the Sound. — 9 years ago
Clos du Val Wine Co.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
20 years and holding it together quite well. Earth, fruit, and a nice finish, a pleasant surprise for a winter night by the fire. — 10 years ago
Chandler Reach Vineyards
Monte Regalo Red Blend
Here is 2009 red blend from Chandler Reach. From Yakima Valley and perhaps Yaktown's better gift to us. Good dark fruit plum and date tones with spicy finish that lingers... for about a week. I like the 25% Cab Franc nice touch in the blend. — 8 years ago
Kenwood Vineyards
Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1996
Well here is a Kenwood Cab from 1996... I taste acid, hints of motor oil, and there's even a hint stuff floating around like shipwreck aftermath. I bet it was good in 1999 though. — 8 years ago
Concha y Toro
Reserva Winemaker's Casillero del Diablo Red Blend 2013
Nice wine for a hot dish night. Cherry and mild tannins yet a mouthful of fruit you want in a red blend. From 'the devil's cellar' yet a hint of heaven. — 10 years ago
De Loach Vineyards
Russian River Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Nice mature wine with berry and fruit balanced with tannin. 15 years and going strong. — 10 years ago
Murphy-Goode
Wild Card Claret Red Blend
Rainy night in Seattle -what a surprise! Enjoying this Liars Dice from Murphy Goode, 2004. Still has fruit and light presence, still mostly merlot with hearty Cab for stature. Good thing I'm enjoying with a home style pizza, it wouldn't be as good next year. — 8 years ago
Murphy-Goode
Sonoma County Zinfandel 2009
This 2009 Liars Dice Zinfandel from our friends at Murphy-Goode is going to boost the credibility of Zin that has fallen out of favor. I like the fruit and balance with no harsh notes or filler wine from Lodi. Drinking on a stormy night with French onion soup! — 9 years ago
Hogue
Genesis Columbia Valley Merlot 2006
This might be an example of why Sideways killed the market for Merlot! On the sweet side little if any tannins, It starts out slow then tapers off. — 10 years ago
John Westfall
The snow is melting and I'm making a Corolina Pulled Pork BBQ Pizza! This 2006 Cab features grapes from 3 regions. Good fruit and berry tones that bring out the subtlety of BBQ pizza...it's all good around here. — 8 years ago
