2009 White Cottage Ranch Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon RisaNapa Valley more |
6/29/2012 - Matteo's wrote: 92 pointsI agree. Great surprise at $19.99. Definately Howell Mountain. I'm a huge fan of O'Shaughnessy and this wine is the perfect daily drinker when you dont want to shell at $60 plus for a nice cab. I expect the price on the White Cottage to sky rocket when the secret gets out. |

2006 Wattle Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage SelectAlexander Valley more |
3/5/2012 - Matteo's wrote: 92 points- Garnet color with medium forming legs - Picked this up on wine express for about half the community average. Very happy with the purchase. Very Alexander Valley. Lots of oak. I think it was more impressive at open compared to two hours out. Definitely a good buy under $30. |

2/18/2012 - Matteo's wrote: 89 pointsBetter at the beginning. Didn't hold up past a couple of hours. Lacks finish. Not trying to bash it, I'm actually satisfied with the purchase at $22.99 from WTSO but would look for something different above that price point. |

2007 Ridgeline Vineyards Cabernet SauvignonAlexander Valley more |
12/16/2011 - Matteo's wrote: 90 pointsIf you're a fan of the Ridgeline Cab the 2007 will not disappoint you. A little less fruit, a little more oak and a longer finish makes this better than the 05 vintage that was a favorite of my wife and me. |

2009 Department 66 D66Côtes Catalanes Grenache Blend, Grenache more |
7/16/2011 - Matteo's wrote: 91 pointsDecanted for 2 hours. Thick and dark in the glass. Dark cherry and cinnamon, it seemed almost port like. Long finish. I will drink this with a meal next time and probably on a cold night. It did not work well on a hot Virginia night by itself. |

2005 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
7/2/2011 - Matteo's wrote: 91 pointsDinstictively Silver Oak in nose and flavor. Was more impressed with it on the first pour as apposed to the last glass. As the tannins settled the wine lost some of its appeal. Still one of my favorites. |

2007 Peters Family Winery Cabernet SauvignonSonoma Mountain more |
6/30/2011 - Matteo's wrote: 91 pointsVery nice well made wine. Oak and spices on the nose and a nice dusty cab flavor with some tannins that mellowed out over an hour or so. Bought 6 should have got 12 or more. Shame there is not more availability. A bigger cab than the 06 vintage. |

2005 Star Lane Vineyard Cabernet SauvignonSanta Ynez Valley more |
6/8/2011 - Matteo's wrote: 93 pointsSeriously? Two hour decant and this wine is fantastic! Great nose, big tannins and I'm still enjoying the finish as I make this note. Lot 18 was a bargain at $25 looking for more after I enjoy the rest of the bottle... Big juicy cab! |
