2022 Roots Run Deep Cabernet Sauvignon Educated Guess Napa Countymore |
4/26/2024 - nkawn Does not like this wine: 55 pointsIt’s so light that it’s closer to a rose or something. This is a brunch cab and certainly has its market. That market is just not me. |

2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Countymore |
4/26/2024 - gharter wrote: 86 pointsMy first Bedrock Cabernet. Love their zins and blends. PnP. Opens with floral, cassis, plum, cocoa, cedar, spice and mint aromas. On the palate this is light to medium body. Blue and black fruits, cocoa, spices, plum flavors. Next to no tannin noted and a very short finish. Not a bad wine, but not at the level I was expecting. 2 more bottles, so maybe it will put on weight in the next few years. |

4/26/2024 - deadwax Likes this wine: 92 pointsDouble decanted on day one. Finished day two. Clear improvement on day two. Very nice flower nose with dark fruits. Dark fruits follow on the pallet. Blue and stone fruit on the pallet with spice box at the end. Finish lingers. |

1984 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
4/26/2024 - Montesquieu Likes this wine: NRI collect Dunn HM from the 1980s and early 1990s. It and Ridge Monte Bello, with 20+ years age, are my favorite American reds by far. This 1984 Dunn HM, with pristine wax cap and cork, was the first "past its peak, but still good" Dunn HM I've ever had. My many other Dunn HM's from 1985-1988 have shown extraordinary mushroom soup funk and glory - what I'd consider peak tertiary window. This 1984 was maybe 5 years past its tertiary peak. Some flavors of bandaid (bad), mint (surprised), tart cranberry, and funk mixed with still-solid dried fruit. For a 40 year old wine, it is a standout success for California, though below the other 1980s Dunns I've had. Would rate an 88 today. I'm not entering a score because its ratings past-prime shouldn't discount its ratings in peak. |

2009 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon Monsieur ÉtainRutherford more |
4/26/2024 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 94 pointsSimilar notes as previous tastings. Deep purple/red color. Lots of black fruits in the nose and flavor. Blackberries, black currants, and black cherries in the nose with licorice and tobacco and hints of chocolate and leather. Black cherries, blackberries, black currants, blueberries and plums in the flavor. Well balanced, medium to full bodied, nice acidity, complex, medium to long silky finish. An elegant wine drinking very well right now and for several years to come. |

4/26/2024 - jocelyng Likes this wine: 93 pointsSuperb flavors of blueberry, blackberry and cassis in chocolate milk. Silky but young tannins followed by nice acidity and some vanilla.. Great balance overall. Not overdone like many Napa cabernet. 93-94 |

2016 Flying Trout Cabernet SauvignonWalla Walla Valley more |
4/26/2024 - Big Juicy Red Likes this wine: 88 pointsMuch better than my last bottle about two years ago. Now there’s some fruit, more earthy characteristics, some soft but very present tannins and strong vanilla notes, probably from oak. The high alcohol (14.5) is definitely noticeable, but somehow mostly works. This is now in a much better place than it was a couple of years ago, so maybe it just needed more time to come together? |

2019 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
4/26/2024 - Matt Scott wrote: 88 pointsWell made and a bit much in some aspects, but the finish sails on. Blackberries, cassis, currants and crushed rock. Full with body. If you enjoy ripe, bigger Napa, you will love this. Enjoyable and not meek, with obvious dimension. Velvety tannins. Drink now - 2033. |

2020 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
4/26/2024 - Delund Likes this wine: 90 pointsBenefitted from a 90 minute decant, 60 F. Rich sweet blackberry fruit on the nose with smokey vanilla and anise notes. Low acidity, no noticeable heat, oak needs some more time to integrate. Pleasant tannins with just a touch of velvety grip. Big, sweet black fruits on the palate, blueberry, dried oak. Drying finish of medium length. I will try to hold off for 2 years before I open my next bottle. |
