1999 Pavilion Rouge Margaux. Not the best vintage for bordeaux but Margaux always delivers regardless — 9 years ago

Deep violet in color, this 100% cabernet sauvignon leads with an expressive nose of cigar box, baked fig compote and black currant. The palate has a stunning intensity, with layers of dark fruit, black cherry and savory dried herbs. Round, chewy tannins support the lingering mineral-driven finish.WINERY NOTES 98pts RP — 9 years ago

2012 Hartwell Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Stags Leap fruit is some of my favorite and this wine is no exception. Very young still bit can only imagine where it will be with some age. 95+ points Rp — 9 years ago

2009 Broman Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon #wineoftheday I love finds like this! I have been looking at this bottle for about a year now. Finally got a chance to try it. It was phenomenal! Beautiful dark fruit, cigar box, notes of leather. Tannins have smoothed out and it covers the entire palate. I looked into this wine and low and behold half the fruit comes from the Dr. Crane Vineyard and half comes from Broman's Deer Park Road Vineyard. At $85 a bottle this is an amazing find! — 9 years ago

Alcohol is nice and well integrated. Long finish, medium plus body. Highly recommend! 98pt Rp — 9 years ago

This is such an amazing Rioja. Lots of soft dark fruit. Medium bodied. Great well balanced oak and acidity and a nice medium plus finish. This Rioja for the price is truly amazing. #2 wine on James Sucklings 100 wines of 2015! — 9 years ago

2012 4 winds Cabernet Sauvignon from Thomas Rivers Brown. Fruit sourced from the Steltzner Vineyard in the Stags Leap District. This is by far one of my favorite wines from the 2012 vintage. Great fruit, medium plus body. On the palate Smokey red fruit, cigar box smooth tannins and creme de cassis. Long finish. Great food wine. There is passion in this bottle. Can't wait to see where this bottle goes with 5 to 10 years rest! — 9 years ago
