They make a brilliant cab, too, as I’m sure you are aware…

Bond

St. Eden Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

+1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid still deep dark ruby red color. On the nose: brambly dark cherry, mocha Java, worn leather, floral, cloves. Taste: silky, layered, savory mouthfeel wine with dark plum/cherry, dark currants, dark chocolate, graphite, and a peppery dried herb, dusty tannin long finish. YUM! Should drink well for more years. — a month ago

St Innocent Winery

Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 1999

Dried redfruits (cranberry mostly?) aromas and flavors, resolved tannins, good acidity, mature but shows good length, should be great with the Wild King Salmon I’ll be grilling soon for our dinner!! — a month ago

It’s just too young. The older 2011 version was excellent.

2011 would rate a 9.4/9.5

Diamond Creek Vineyards

Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1983

Pristine bottle so much power and life left and still fruit definition. Drinks like first growth Pauillac. What a special era for Napa wine. — a month ago

Had an ‘83 Forman a few days ago that showed beautifully. Those OG producers from the late ‘70s and ‘80s made some special, and nearly immortal, wines.
