2/17/2024 - TheOakvilleKid Likes this wine: 92 points96% old vine zinfandel sourced from the famed Frediani Vineyards in Calistoga at the north end of the silverado trail. The other 4% is Petit Sirah. Good spice, herb and soft fruit profile. Should age nicely but don’t need to wait too long. Drinkable now for sure. Very full bodied wine with a softer finish. |

12/21/2023 - CavWine Likes this wine: 92 pointsFor some reason, I was skeptical about this wine. Maybe the name? But surprisingly really liked it. Nice blend, good on a pnp, with distinct tannins that blend well. |

2000 Saddleback Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
6/8/2016 - Mossrose wrote: 94 pointsA good example of how a lesser vintage like 2000 can make an ageworthy wine. Black in color with a thin red edge. A rich and fruity smell with blackberry and black currant. While more rounded than the young wine, it still comes into the mouth with high acidity and firm tannin, that could readily pass for a high altitude Napa Cab or a Cab dominant Bordeaux. The 16 years aged wine features a silkier texture and fine integration, while retaining the rich fruit and dry finish. |

11/19/2023 - CavWine Likes this wine: 91 pointsI thought this was great, plenty of fruit but still light and just enough complexity to make it work. Tannins mellowed with an hour's decant. For a cab, it is a good value. |

So, this is 10 years on, a handful of years since the last one I drank, and not reserved for any particular purpose. Drink up! Notes as before, but the loss of a bit of freshness has not translated into something savory and more complex. It's Cab, it's good to very good Cab, but greatness is not really showing itself here. As before, it did blossom a bit, or maybe I just generally had drunk of the milk of human kindness, but we had no problem finishing the bottle. Wife liked it more than I did, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy again at this price, if I was buying much cab these days. |
