Cafaro

Alta Tierra Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Magnum. Plenty of life left, everything you want in an aged Napa Cabernet. — 3 months ago

Cafaro

Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Could have gone another 10 without breaking a sweat. Cedar, raspberry puree and just that flavor/characteristic that age brings to Cabernet. Those of you who know will understand but others just know that years of age don't compare to decanting. — 7 years ago

47 years old! Amber color and OTH but still kicking! You go, Joe Cafaro. Orange-wine-like. Savory and tart. — 4 years ago

Dashe Cellars

Iron Oak Vineyard Merlot 2002

Dark red/black fruit and still has very firm tannins. Black cherry nose, dusty tannins and soft finish.
Has a Bordeaux profile, reminds me of Cafaro.
