2005 Levendi Cabernet Sauvignon Sweetwater Ranch (USA, California, Napa Valley)	2/5/2010	AlexHop	92
Lots of fruit, raspberry and cherry. Nice balance and overall well done. (177 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2001 Brogan Cellars Pinot Noir Russian River Valley (USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley)	1/31/2010	AlexHop	88
Its ok. With the disclaimer that I'm not a huge fan of Pinot, this is not insubstantial. The mouth-feel is fairly light, but there are some solid beefy & olive flavors. Not a whole lot of fruit and a medium finish. (55 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1996 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve (USA, California, Napa Valley)	1/30/2010	AlexHop	93
Dark with more of a left bank character than typical for napa. I'd almost mistake it for a st estiphe. Pencil lead and leather, good tannins, not too much fruit. Almost hickorey wood notes. Long finish. (335 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2001 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Franc (USA, California, Sonoma County)	1/29/2010	AlexHop	94
Huge fruit. Like many classic pride wines it excapes the typical expectation for a cab franc. Cherry, oak, and a long finish. (142 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1999 Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder (USA, California, Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder)	1/25/2010	AlexHop	91
Rich dark berry. Almost brooding with a long finish. (51 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1998 Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon Cinq Cépages (USA, California, Sonoma County)	1/15/2010	AlexHop	90
Nice, very balanced but not fancy and only a medium finish. (166 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1993 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Trailside Vineyard (USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford)	1/13/2010	AlexHop	91
Really nice although starting to get a little thin. Typical Trailside lean presentation, but some really interesting stuff going on, a bit of cherry, blackberry, cedar and a long finish. (116 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2002 Charles Cimicky Shiraz Reserve (Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley)	1/8/2010	AlexHop	93
Beefy, very bold with great structure. Nice subtlty on the nose. (128 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1999 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Napa Valley)	1/6/2010	AlexHop	87
Only so so. Not that much to it and a slightly sour aftertaste. (333 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1997 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate (USA, California, Napa Valley)	11/24/2009	AlexHop	98
One of the few wines that I've had lately that have lived up to the hype of the 1997 vintage, this one was amazing. Tasted from a split. (1325 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1997 Swanson Merlot (USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville)	11/29/2009	AlexHop	91
Great as ever. Complex nose and nice balance with warm (not in the hot-alcoholic sense) mouthfeel. Main flavor notes are cherry and blueberry with maybe a hint of rhubarb. (124 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1998 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Napa Valley)	11/25/2009	AlexHop	90
Nice and totally solid but not as special as some bottles of Pride. Muted nose followed by firm tannins, with lots of spice and cedar. (271 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1997 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate (USA, California, Napa Valley)	11/24/2009	AlexHop	97
I've had a number of disappointing 1997s recently but this one lives up to the hype of the vintage. Sweet nose, sweet tannins, very elegant. The fruit has mellowed a bit, but the wine still feels powerful with a very long finish that keeps showing off different aspects of this complex wine. From a split (and kudos to Montelena for making splits available without charging much extra). (1604 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
1997 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Napa Valley)	11/21/2009	AlexHop	92
Rich and still shows impresive fruit. Lots of cherry and a little blueberry. Long finish and great balance. (309 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2006 ÀMaurice Cellars The Tsutakawa (USA, Washington, Columbia Valley)	11/15/2009	AlexHop	89
Warm toasty nose. Nice balance with medium mouthfeel but a little thin. Medium finish. Tasted at winemaker dinner at Matts in the Market. (84 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
