2007 Seavey Vineyard Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/3/2010 - SLOPPYdeCHAO wrote: 95 pointsA prime example of top-notch Napa cab; meaty with a deep core of dark fruit, big but superbly balanced; probably needs 2+ hours decanting to really open up. |

2006 Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate ReserveNapa Valley more |
12/1/2010 - SLOPPYdeCHAO wrote: 92 pointsPopped and poured, didn't find it as tight as many of the other notes; slightly tart at the beginning; smoky, dark cherry flavor with lots of vanilla through the medium finish; enjoy it even more than the 07. |

11/7/2010 - SLOPPYdeCHAO wrote: 93 pointsConcentrated black fruit, jammy on the nose and palate; little more tannic than usual for a young Caravina but still fairly smooth; long finish. Delicious now but should age very well. |

3/8/2010 - SLOPPYdeCHAO wrote: 95 pointsOne of the top 10 Napa wines I've ever had. Same deep, dark fruit as the ACV cab but more polished and supple on the finish. Ready to drink without decanting. |

2006 Château PuygueraudFrancs Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/11/2010 - SLOPPYdeCHAO wrote: 88 pointsOpened but not decanted about 30-45 minutes before pouring. Good fruit but a bit hollow, and a little hot through the finish. A respectable, middle of the week drinker but falls far short of the 05. |
