1/23/2011 - J.L. Likes this wine: NRDrinking this was like taking a bite from a piece of fermented fruit. But in a good way. It reminded me of sitting outside during a late summer sunset. Could have used a bit more acid, but definitely worth the 15$ I paid. |

2002 Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valleymore |
3/23/2010 - J.L. Likes this wine: 92 pointsPopped and poured. Alcohol and barrel up front, leather, dark fruit, slightly medicinal on the finish but not a bad thing. Will decant for at least an hour next bottle. |

1997 David Bruce Pinot Noir Russian River Valleymore |
4/9/2012 - J.L. wrote: NRPast peak, but surprisingly still has some life left in it. Fruit pretty much gone, leaving mostly oak and acid. Was probably perfect a couple years ago. |

2004 Nicholas Cole Cellars CamilleColumbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/15/2013 - J.L. Likes this wine: NRTons of sediment in neck even after standing up for several days. Room filling aroma of blueberries, anise, alcohol and my garden when it rains. Continued on palate with a more complex spice character and red/purple berries. Tannins were a little sticky at first but smoothed out after a quick decant. Having had these now over several years.....this is as good as it's gonna get, and right now it's pretty damn good. |

5/9/2010 - J.L. Likes this wine: 94 pointsFruit forward, berry jam, some methol or eucalyptus, barely any heat, satisfyingly smooth finish. Archetypal syrah. |

2006 Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valleymore |
11/17/2013 - J.L. wrote: NRI'm always amazed at how Abeja is so balanced. I can taste the bright red fruit, sense the moderate alcohol and feel the tannins (somewhat resolved) but none more than the other. Great with food or without. Paired nicely with a bison ribeye tonight. |

3/3/2014 - J.L. Likes this wine: NRNot much to smell....blue/purple fruit. Tannins have settled down a bit, but there's still enough to have something to chew on. Moderate acidity keeping things balanced. Plum, blueberry, some eucalyptus/minty notes. Well made, but not particularly exciting or unique. Could probably sleep for a few more years, but no need to... |
