4/9/2024 - Alongfield Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis wine is normally an 88 point type of wine. Solid but not great. I don’t know if it is just the perfect timing or other, but the flavor has exploded. Honestly, I could rate it higher than 94 but ithis wine normally isn’t this good. Wonderful right now. |

2008 The MascotNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/20/2021 - Alongfield Likes this wine: 94 points100% audacious and bold. Lots of Cab but I suspect the presence of some Petite Syrah and Petit Verdot. Even though it’s 13 years aged, I suspect it could age for 30 years or longer. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1/17/2021 - Alongfield Likes this wine: 95 pointsAs if it was a 2017 - it was rich full and not an ounce faded. I suspect the tannin level is slightly reduced, but a wonderful Barolo from now and probably the next 10 years. |

1997 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
5/23/2020 - Alongfield Likes this wine: 91 pointsI generally agree with the last note. I found the nose still to be rich and robust, but the big body missing. It was what one would expect from a 20+ year old bottle, but is beginning to change my mind on whether to cellar for so long. I tend to prefer bold flavors. Generally, aging tends to mellow the tannins. It is a personal choice but this one is still very enjoyable. |
