The Seventy Five Wine Company
Olga Raffault
Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017
Wine 1, with rack of lamb. As my drinking history shows, Raffault is a perennial favorite. 2017 is easy access with medium weight, wild red berry fruit, tomato leaf, and earth. Drink over the next five years. Holding ‘09, ‘14, ‘15, and ‘18 with patience. — 3 months ago
Cain Vineyard & Winery
Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011
A Burgundian-styled Cab Sauv from the one of the most compelling Sub AVA of Napa mountains (Mayacamas) which has an amazing soil and solid influence from the Pacific. Crafted with an amazing balance of 68% Cab Sauv, 20% Merlot, 5% and the rest to round it off its structure and age ability. The 2011 is still climbing to its peak. Enticing notes of dry red fruits on the nose and mouth, delicate, outstandingly silky and nearly perfect balance!
The finish shows its beauty. (if you find it, it won’t disappoint you) it will give the run for the money. — 19 days ago

One Point Five Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

Sine Qua Non
Five Shooter Syrah 2010
Big and blowsy. Dark plummy fruit, tangy cherry. Reduced and intense. Long. — 2 months ago
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2001
With a three hour decant still very tannic and stemmy. Probably needs another five plus years — 5 months ago
Doug Powers
[70% Shiraz, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon] Medium-dark ruby, faint bricking at edge, I mostly get the Cabernet, shows both its age and some heat (14.5% ABV), solid balance, medium-long finish, good Barossa Shiraz-Cab blend! — 22 days ago
