2005 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
1/18/2013 - somadoc wrote: 90 pointsInteresting night - we had the Cakebread Merlot first, which I was disappointed with, and then this cab, which I enjoyed more. Was that because it was nicer or because I already had half a bottle of wine in me :) This has a nice fruity nose with soft dark berries on the palate and a far nicer finish than its merlot cousin. |

2007 Jonata Winery El Alma de JonataSanta Ynez Valley Cabernet Franc more |
12/16/2012 - somadoc wrote: NRI'm not able to rate this as, although we all loved it, it is SO powerful and such a high alcohol taste that I don't know what number to give it. The fruit is abundant but I had to concentrate hard to get passed the alcohol. My first time experiencing the "alcohol bomb", and it was a bomb. I hope time will mellow this so we can truly appreciate the wine underneath. |

12/21/2009 - somadoc wrote: 92 pointsMy first taste of Tignanello. Not awesome, but very good. Loads of black fruit and anise??? on the nose as well as in tasting. Have 7 more of these so will be interesting to see how it changes. |

2000 Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Countymore |
4/1/2008 - somadoc wrote: NRVery disappointing bottle of wine both on opening and after almost 2 hours of decanting. Not sure if it is just due to the vintage or if I had a bad bottle. It was not corked though. Unfortunate, since this is my first taste of a Jordan Cab. |

1998 Stonegate Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/9/2007 - somadoc wrote: 90 pointsAlthough this 1998 vintage is reported to be past it's drinking date, this last bottle from our cellar was still excellent. Full fruit - blackberry, blueberry - and some tobacco. If you have any left, don't think that they are going to be duds, as ths was a very nice wine still on December 7, 2007. |

2000 Zanoni Amarone della Valpolicella Classico MonteZovoCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/24/2007 - somadoc wrote: NRmagnificent wine from the Cottini family, it is black/violet in colour with a bouquet bursting with cherry jam as well as smoky, tar elements. The palate is rich and plush with ripe fruit and velvety tannins leading to a delightfully long finish. A perfect end to a meal along with aged parmigiano reggiano and pears.
