St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

9.5

So strong and pristine. This bottle hasn’t moved since bottled. Totally thrilled with this beauty. Intense notes of coffee and mature cherries on the nose. Tannins are robust, coupled with pure maple and zippy acidity. Stand out with zero hints of aging. — 5 months ago

2014 was the last vintage. Grapes sold to Anomaly vineyards now. Always was a gem...a Mia Klein made wine for under $100.

Thanks for the insights, @Tom Garland. I didn’t know any of that. Thankfully, the 14’s are still available.

Tastes like a hypothetical blend of Bressler and Seavey. I liked it a lot, while my wife thought it was a touch alcoholic. Listed ABV is 14.8%. — 8 years ago

We love it, too! Palermo is also very good. But Bressler kicked ass and took names.

Proprietary Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Ron R
9.4

This is a clone of Bressler.
A rich and complex nose of cassis and toasty oak.
Palette is multi-layered and consistent with the nose. Mid-palette is plush and dense, with rich dark fruits. Tannins are excellent, helping the wine to finish with a lift. 14.9% abv melts away. All in all, an outstanding showing. All the more special, since this cuvée is only produced when the all the components of the blend are aligned.

Respect your input, @Hugh O'Riordan. Personally, while up until now, I've only tasted their pinots, I've had nothing but good experiences.

Ron, in my view the best California pinots are Merry Edwards, Lynmar and Radio Cotreau . I'm sure there others but these are my favorites. I have tasted many California pinots FYI.

Hello @Hugh O'Riordan, thanks for the tips. I have only tried the Radio entry-level. I'll have to try the other two you mention. Thanks again.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

If I could give this 20 points would. My WOTN and the best wine I've had all year. This is in its sweet spot now. That perfect moment when the wine is showing its best. Thank you @Bob Bressler — 7 years ago

Stewart Cellars

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Great nose, longer legs for whatever that's worth.
Equal in taste just a little more full bodied than the Bressler.
I opened & poured both into decanters then had my wife pour 90 minutes later for a true blind tasting, but I recognized the nose of the Stewart right away since I was the original cork popper.
