Another great WLTV Forum offline at Anthony David's in Hoboken. A great night of company and wines as usual. Thanks to Joe for setting this up.
Here my notes for the wines that passed in front of me, in order. I think I got to try about 2/3 of what was opened.
Slightly funky, earthy nose, showing bell pepper, but also nice dark fruit in the mix. Smooth mouthfeel and medium-bodied with medium to medium high tannin and medium acidity. Medium long finish. A "restrained" style of Cali cab.

Very savory nose. Soy sauce, earth, herbs de provence and just a few slight hints of red fruit. Similar notes on the palate. Overall the wine is dominated by secondary characteristics. Medium body. Medium high to high tannin and acid. Medium length finish.

Dark, brambly and blueberry fruit on the nose, with hints of coffee and noticeable oak treatment. Similar notes on the palate with good weight and smooth mouthfeel. Medium high acidity. Medium high to high tannin structure that seemed to build up the more I thought about it.

Very similar to the '01 tasted side-by-side, but with more pronounced dark, blueberry fruit on nose and palate. Similar structure to the '01. Very nice wine. Difficult to decide which I preferred.

Nice nose. Aromas of red fruit/cherry with hints of bell pepper and just a touch of earthiness. Similar notes on the palate. Medium body. Medium acid and tannin. Finishes a bit short, but otherwise in a good spot right now.

Earthy and minerally nose with red (as opposed to green) bell pepper, which was kind of interesting. Well integrated structure. Medium body, tannin and acid. A bit short on the finish.

Ripe/rich aromas of raspberry, chocolate, vanilla and oak. Full-bodied. Medium high tannin. Medium acid. Medium long finish. Kind of a dark and brooding wine. Pretty interesting.

Rich dark black currant on the nose along with oak and spice. Similar notes on the palate. Full-bodied. Big tannin structure and a bit mouth drying.

The nose is dominated by the aroma of freshly cracked pepper with hints of coffee and oak in th background. Brambly fruit on the palate that continues to effuse ground pepper. Full-bodied but manages to be fairly well balanced. Medium high tannin and acid. Medium long finish.
