2007 Viña Quebrada de Macul Cabernet Sauvignon Domus Aurea Clos Quebrada de MaculMaipo Valley more |
1/22/2012 - jeffm_fla wrote: 74 pointsI have opened (and bought, unfortunately) four bottles of this wine and always get an odd metallic scent and taste from this one. It is highly rated, but I've tried different bottles and vintages and have dumped every one. I'm guessing it is some component in this wine that bothers me, but not most other drinkers. Still, I have to give a low score since I once again dumped out the bottle and washed out my glass before trying another wine. |

2005 Altamura Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |

2005 Altamura Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
2/24/2010 - jeffm_fla wrote: 90 pointsMuch better than previous bottle. Nice fruit on the nose, though still a bit of green. Rich fruit and flavors, but not the plushness of some other cabs. Food friendly -- a good bottle of wine. |

2005 Altamura Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
7/7/2010 - jeffm_fla wrote: 90 pointsA fruity, flavorful wine that borders on jammy, but manages to hold up well. Doesn't have the crispness and style of some of the other Altamura vintages |

8/2/2014 - jeffm_fla Likes this wine: 92 pointsGreat classic Altamura nose and flavors. Primary fruit a bit faded, but wonderful smooth sweet tannins. Kept getting better with time and air. |

2006 Kuleto Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Single Barrel Series Barrel #2Napa Valley more |
5/28/2014 - jeffm_fla Likes this wine: 92 pointsSubtle nose of licorice, leather, and tobacco. A little jammy fruit on the palate, but nice flavor and a long finish. Very good. |

2007 Levy & McClellan AmpersandNapa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon more |
12/11/2017 - jeffm_fla Likes this wine: 90 pointsFruit was initially bright, but had an oddly muted note. I thought it might be slightly corked. I give this a 90 rating with the caveat that this bottle may be slightly off. Or, it’s a second wine that is starting to show it at age 10. Most of my 07s didn’t make it this long so it’s difficult to compare! (This one was picked up at auction recently.) |

12/18/2010 - jeffm_fla wrote: 89 pointsA nice big cab, but had a curiously muted and odd nose. Good, but a little disappointing for a $100 bottle (from a favorite winery) that I've been sitting on for a while. |

2007 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele VineyardNapa Valley more |
3/4/2011 - jeffm_fla wrote: 90 pointsI think Wine Spectator was a little hard on this wine. Firm with some green flavors that are a pleasant alternative to the big fruit of most of the '07 Napa cabs. The finish was a little thin, though, and it doesn't merit the high price. |
