2011 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

Better the second night. I know this is 2011 but I would have expected better from this winery and price. Finish particularly not very good. My previous notes said better the second night and that still holds true. Needs to open for quite awhile.

Another wonderful Morisoli from V. Sattui. We'll watch this evolve over time. I have to say I miss the days of $45 Morisoli. Watch the pricing or mess up a terrific wine.

Definitely not my style. I guess. And I drink a lot of chard. This was tart, sharp, and disappointing. I expected more.

2003 Mitolo Shiraz Savitar

Opened 2 bottles. Both had an aged color but looked Ok for this age. One bottle was way over the hill; nasty finish but not corked. the other bottle was plain disappointing. These did not represent the Shiraz I like. probably just too old since both have been properly cellared.

Drank over 2 nights. Pretty underwhelmed. Funk. Decent color. Thin to medium bodied. Have some younger versions so will be interesting to try it. But, at these prices, I will go elsewhere.
