1/16/2019 - Leomania Likes this wine: 89 pointsI've decided to keep my 2018 end date on this wine. It's drinking fine, but it seems at peak. I definitely find it to be better than "one-dimensional", but nevertheless there's some element that fails to pop. |

9/14/2018 - gfb1 Likes this wine: 88 pointsThe wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raisin, cherry, pomegranate, dust, cedar, stoniness, verbena, tea and cool/menthol. It tastes like blackberry, grapefruit, pear, guava, mineral, black pepper and asparagus. The body is medium. The wine has angular texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. |

8/7/2017 - JaynPam Likes this wine: 87 pointsA bit more than slightly sweet, but nice tropical flavors and not cloying. A good summer front porch sipper. |

4/8/2017 - JaynPam Likes this wine: 86 pointsCrisp, acidic white wine. Drinks better with food than alone. Good value wine. purchased at GO, don't know that I would have been as happy with the wine if I had paid the $30 price tag. |

2013 Cairdean Vineyards Fumé BlancOakville Sauvignon Blanc more |
2/9/2017 - Not647f wrote: NRConsumed by numerous people over a few nights. This tasted a bit sweet and oaky to me. Which may explain why they chose to call it Fume Blanc. It's not pathbreaking like Mondavi's or technically spot on like the old Murphy Goode. Would be fine for cooking scampi, but would not rebuy. |

2010 Cairdean Vineyards Petite Sirah Napa Valleymore |
1/19/2017 - Adventr.us wrote: 86 pointsPleasant enough when I sipped it on opening, with some blueberries followed by softening tannins - and that was the basis of my rating. Then I made the mistake of drinking it with my Thai leftovers. (I had read an article that said Cotes du Rhone was a surprisingly good match for Thai, and figured maybe Petite Sirah would work as well. Turns out not so much ...) Will see how the rest of the bottle does tomorrow, maybe an upgrade will be in order. |

1/3/2017 - zoeldar Likes this wine: 92 pointsFound these lurking at GO closeout...super bargain for a big Chard. More fruit and balance vs. their Napa version, and preferred. Nice crisp palate with plenty of everything...classic RRV terrior with slightly heavy-handed winery style, but thoroughly enjoyable. |

1/3/2017 - zoeldar Likes this wine: 91 pointsNicely made Carneros Chard, with plenty of oak and fruit for those that like this style (we do!). Nice citrus notes between the wood staves, clean and balanced finish. Superbargain at GO closeout |

12/18/2016 - Yack Man Does not like this wine: 85 pointsA Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon at a considerable discount? It's worth a shot. Sourced from Cairdean Estate’s Acquaintance Vineyard in Coombsville that is composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Petit Verdot, 1.3% Malbec and 1.2% Merlot. |
