2007 CrossBarn (Paul Hobbs) Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
6/14/2010 - lsnider wrote: 90 pointsDecanted for about an hour. The wine was a bit closed on the first glass but opened up a little more with the next few glasses. Pleasant fruit with a hint of leather. I felt it drank well for a 35 dollar bottle of wine. Showed well the following day with a nice finish. |

2005 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
6/8/2010 - lsnider wrote: 85 pointsA good wine but not what a silver oak was 5-10 years ago. There was not real punch to the wine it just seemed like a watered down cab. The last good silver oak I had was the 2001 Napa Valley since then I have been disappointed to say the least. |

2007 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon EstateSt. Helena more |
5/25/2010 - lsnider wrote: 98 pointsWhat a great wine! This was my first Spottswoode and boy was it great. I loved the nose on this cab as it was even going strong in the small amount I saved for the next day. Everything seemed so very well balanced. I got great notes of dark fruit and cedar that just keep going. Ranks right there at the top for me. Can't wait to try another bottle in 5-8 years. |

5/16/2010 - lsnider wrote: 91 pointsA light purple with nice blackberries, oak(a nice touch not over the top) and leather. In the mouth the wine had nice leather and berry notes with a slightly dry finish. Wine paired well with the grilled tenderloin roast we prepaired. Overall a nice wine that in my opinion is at its peak. |

2007 Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Countymore |
5/12/2010 - lsnider wrote: 89 pointsDid not know I had this at home so I opened it last night. For a 12 dollar bottle I thought this wine was outstanding. Double decanted about an hour before I had a glass. It showed nice fruit with hints of cedar. This wine also showed well in the mouth and had a good smooth finish. |
