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. — 10 days ago

Shafer Vineyards

Hugo’s Cellar has a great wine list! This one is a more fruit forward Cab, but not one that overpowers filet. — 2 days 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 — 4 months ago
Adam Kincaid
Probably still a little young, but otherwise a really great bottle. Dark transparent ruby, with a woody-er edge to it. Some cherry pie, herbs, baking spices and tar aromas. Strong structure, making it feel young. Pretty large body for an Oregon Pinot! Going to age well for awhile. — 2 days ago
