Pleasant nose, but don’t confuse this with the “Old Vine” version that WS scored 93. This is not that!

A satisfying crowd pleaser. Nothing short about it. A little fruity on night one, more complex on night two. Great value.

Very nice expression of the varietal. Crisp without being short. Nice citrus notes on both nose and palate. Priced right.

2019 Seven Rings Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Knoll District

more

3/26/2024 - Sauvyfan Likes this wine: 88 points

Always dubious of under $40 Cabernet from Napa. This barely passes muster. You could find much better for this price-point from other regions. Rather dull and lacking of fruit, but not overly oaky which is to its credit.

One of the better Cali SB's I've had in quite a while. Beautifully floral nose and a nice creamy mid-palate, followed by just the perfect amount of acidity. I will be stocking up on this one for the Summer.

I just love this producer. The wines lean toward the savory, forest floor style of pinot noir. Just enough fruit poking through to lend a hand.

2014 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

more

3/17/2024 - Sauvyfan Likes this wine: 94 points

This bottle showed much better than my first. Everything you would come to expect from a Dunn. Incredibly youthful at the 10 year mark. It did drink more like a valley floor cab than a mountain cab. Maybe a hot vintage.

not a good effort here. I've purchased many vintages of this wine and have found it to be quite a value. This vintage is just hot and messy.

2017 Storybook Mountain Vineyards Zinfandel Eastern Exposures

Napa Valley more

3/11/2024 - Sauvyfan Likes this wine: 94 points

Still one of the finest examples of Napa Valley Zinfandel. This particular bottling, the Eastern Exposures, has always been one of my favorites. I find it much more feminine stylistically than their other offerings. Maybe its the morning sun. High-toned fruit, beautifully perfumed, light weight, but with plenty of length on the finish.

Finger Lakes more

3/7/2024 - Sauvyfan Likes this wine: 91 points

High acid, highly perfumed wine. Golden in color, early petrol blows off to reveal tart green apple on the nose. A tinge of effervescence on the tongue, followed by a surprisingly well bodied wine, with a long finish of mixed citrus and honeyed cantaloupe.

2019 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Better than expected. Balanced nose; earth and fruit. Not fruity, not oaky. Reminds me of a Justin circa 2007 (when it was good). Some green pepper on the nose. Finish is dominated by tannin.
