2020 Precision Wine Company Cabernet Sauvignon BoundAlexander Valley more |
6/10/2023 - Glenn Gilbert Likes this wine: 85 pointsMy fourth tasting of this wine and vintage; 12 mm of wine penetration into the cork, which, by the way, has a lot of spice in it, like cinnamon, cloves and cardamom; there is considerable yeast in the nose; opened, vinturied and tasted within 10 minutes at room temperature, in this case 25 degrees C; the body of the wine is medium to full and in some respects it tastes more like a pinot than a cab; the sweetness is tolerably well integrated, although it has a way to go; the long finish retains its slightly bitter Nachgeschmack (aftertaste); the earlier recommendation of pairing with red meat or cheese remains; even though Costco marks this particular wine/vintage down consistently, you can get decidedly better Cabs for the same money |

2010 Foley Johnson Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
10/9/2020 - Silkeyj wrote: 89 pointsDecanted about an hour. Deep ruby color. Black cherry and oak on the nose. Expect this to be a little hot. Med acid, med plus alcohol, black cherry and cocoa coupled with still firm tannins. Long finish. Drink dates indicate wheelhouse is now but I think I need to leave my last bottle for a few more years and see.

2016 Château Cos d'EstournelSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/22/2020 - nfurlong wrote: NRThis bottle at least, has entered the Hibernation period. PNP through Venturi, very closed. Austere. Some gravel, cigar box and hints of black raspberry, but far more acid than fruit. Capped with Argon, second day still closed. Third day ever so slightly better, some blackberry and black cherry eeking through, but based solely on this bottle, I'm afriad we're in for a long winter (decade). No rating.

2007 Burgess Syrah Napa Valleymore |
1/20/2013 - drsilver wrote: 81 pointsIt has a lovely smell of forest, bark, and brand new fresh batteries. But, the taste is very short lived and not very complex. Reminds me of a simple girl that smells really nice but lacks conversation intelligence.
