2012 Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valleymore |
10/13/2016 - brucejones Likes this wine: 93 pointsI just had this from a magnum - wow, it's tasting just gorgeous right now. It's so lush and luxurious, but still has a nice streak of acid and tannin to make a great food pairing. I like this a lot and wish I had more in my cellar. |

2002 Robert Mondavi Winery Pinot Noir Huichica HillsCarneros more |
8/10/2011 - brucejones wrote: 91 pointsI was very pleasantly surprised by this bottle, I had expected it to be a bit past its prime, but it was still quite delightful. It had a nice garnet color and a slight sulphuric nose which disappeared after an hour or breathing. It still had a surprising amount of fruit and delightfully fresh taste. Perfectly smooth and enjoyable, though not much of a finish. This was a great bottle of wine with grilled pork chops. |

2007 Carrick Pinot NoirBannockburn more |
2/7/2011 - brucejones wrote: 89 pointsVery dark color for a Pinot. Nose is not fruit driven, rather earthy, noticeable alcohol on the nose. Initial taste is of very dark cherry, touch of sassafras. Very nice long finish. The lingering finish is the best part of this wine. |

8/30/2009 - brucejones wrote: 75 pointsNo idea what this blend is supposed to taste like, but I'm not crazy about it. Pretty sweet, with some of those dark Gewürztraminer tones. Very little acid, no duration to the finish. Sweet, like something grandma probably drank. No need to buy any more of these. |
