8/20/2021 - oldcabman Likes this wine: 88 pointsDark and brooding, but not aggressively tannic. Textbook black fruit and smooth over the palate, but a bit hollow and a short finish. |

2012 Viña Valdivieso Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard ReserveSagrada Familia more |
3/4/2021 - oldcabman Likes this wine: 87 pointsSmooth, sweet oak leads the way. Fully integrated tannins, somewhat one-dimensional for a ten year old cab franc. No tobacco or other typical cab franc characteristics. Good food wine, though - pair with rare meats. |

2/6/2023 - oldcabman Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill holding up very well, with black cherry, vanilla, a little wood and a long finish. Smooth as silk, and truly sings with an hour or two of air time before drinking. |

2005 Miner Family Cabernet Sauvignon Oakvillemore |
4/5/2020 - oldcabman Likes this wine: 92 pointsMature, but not over the hill. Integrated oak, fruit and tannins in beautiful balance. One hour decant - wine stayed very consistent throughout dinner. Lacking only a longer finish, but more than enjoyable with grilled loin lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and whole steamed green beans. Ready now - can't imagine it would improve beyond its current state of grace and elegance. |
