Justin Vineyards & Winery
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Drinking out of water glass so nose is flat. Little bit of cough syrup and alcohol but not much coming through for me on nose. I get cranberry juice right away, even lingers a bit. Not a ton of depth. Tasty but it doesn't last. Definitely try again. — 8 years ago
Stags' Leap Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Red fruit, some plum on the nose. Little muddy soil on the nose late. Juicy strawberries right away, little tart. Young and really want to revisit in a few years. — 9 years ago

Silver Trident Winery
Twenty Seven Fathoms Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Clean nose with some alcoholic red fruit. Tasty. Smooth. Blueberry, blackberry, jam, strawberry, some lingering tobacco chocolate notes. Really good juice, share with good friends, or easily make some new ones. — 8 years ago

Playing with Fire Napa Valley Red Blend 2012
Smoky charcoal nose, grilled raspberries, rubber cement? Juicy fruit in yo face! Red fruit, blue fruit, you name it its bursting. Finish is strong. Young but holy shit this is good. — 9 years ago
Orin Swift Cellars
Abstract Grenache Blend
Blueberries, red fruit then alcohol hits the nostrils, hints of chocolate follow. JUICE!! This baby bring new world sauce. Wow, ripe blueberries, strawberries and plum up front. Underlying hints of cocoa come through and into the finish with a bit of spicy tobacco. Good balance for high alcohol and structure was nice, very enjoyable. Get this for a good friend, and make sure they pour you a glass. — 9 years ago
Valde Lacierva
Crianza Rioja Tempranillo 2015
It just doesn’t do much for me. A litttle dull, nose is dusty, alcoholic fruit. I get overwhelmed with the cocoa, some barely sweet jam at the end. — 5 years ago
Newton
Unfiltered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Little smoke and soil nose on top of a strawberry and black cherry. Tart up front, juicy, smoked berries, jam. Finishes like a champ. Been saving this for a bit, did not disappoint. — 8 years ago
Piña Cellars
D'Adamo Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Got some big new French oak, strawberry hay, dry clay, and spiked fireball candy on the nose. Ripe dark fruit right away, big tannins, this big boy needs some time to develop. Maybe a hint of cocoa on the finish after some time. Hopeful this will grow into a mature hero. — 9 years ago
