2016 Aviary Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley more

Purple cranberry color, light a the nose with a surprising bright start, evolves to a quick tannin with a soft pepper finish. Ridiculous value for the vintage. Drink now.

Vintage may not store ping, drink soon, wonderful wine.

Very light in color, fast legs, cedar on the nose and a lightly dry finish. Fantastic label and bottle for a classic dinner setting.

Plum color, fast legs, quick and smooth jamminess, light finish. Nose in restaurant small glass non-existent, enjoy in large bowl stem glass to open. Enjoyed with pasta and light entrees. Nice value.

2000 Frédéric Magnien Chambertin-Clos de Bèze

Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Pinot Noir more

Think of the first day after a 10 day rain in a forest of mushrooms with dew and floor of vegetation. A tartness that finishes sweet. The profile surprises as a full pinot and drinking in 2016 is a wonderful experience.

2013 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Signature

Napa Valley more

Silky, huge wine. Coats the glass with legs.
Some earthyness yet difficult to rate until it sits another 10 years.
Definite buy for the cellar.

Ruby red color, legs develop nicely and are quick, cedar on the nose almost a hint of green forest, slight tannic finish. Wonderful wine and balance for traditional Italian food.

Exceptional restaurant value pairing well with Italian cuisine. Fruit forward on nose with deep, wide earthiness. Decanting made little change for this year. Wonderful.

Aged 9mon in French oak, hand picked, small lot.

Painted legs on glass with a smokey quick earthy taste and subtle nose. Little tannins and a wonderful wine to pair with flank steak. So fun.

2007 Terre Nere Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

After a short decanting the wine opened nicely for simple share foods; cheese, pasta, pizza, muscles.

Color was slightly burnt red with light tannins, short finish, leathery on the tongue and earth nose

Enjoyable now.

2009 Spring Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Spring Mountain District more

4/10/2016 - AnthonyCa wrote: 87 points

A simple cabernet and in a large format was surprisingly drinkable for several different palates. Paired well with steak but easily could align with poultry and lighter dishes. Quick legs, soft tannins, quick finish and flows fast with ease in drinkability; have another bottle ready to go when serving to a large table.

Deep, complex, burgundy color, long legs with almost no existence of tannins. The flavor fills your mouth with earthy fruit and finishes surprising soft. Only wine we've had with a similar experience is Thackeray Orion.

Beautiful color, bright, crisp, hints of melon and citrus, wonderful summer wine, quick finish, well balanced tart and sweetness. Pricey for a rose but a must try if rose is your thing.

Very impressive in comparison to the Estate wines as we're assuming it's an "every day red". Wonderful balance of color, light tannin, extremely long legs and soft, delicate finish; the finish seems to linger more than the smell. Must buy again.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like stoniness. It tastes like raspberry and black currant (cassis). The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity.
