4/7/2013 - Corrado Does not like this wine: NRThis is the first Woot Wine I've had that I absolutely HATE. It's a perfect wine for a Sangria or something that would benefit from the perceptible sweet flavor and finish of the wine. I have 3 bottles left and my first thought is to make a "wine cooler" with a 50/50 mix of seltzer and Pour Pour Me. #DoNotLike |

12/2/2012 - Corrado Likes this wine: NRThis is drinking very well right now. Full-bodied, almost cab-like. No complaints whatsoever! |

2008 Woot Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Monkey 2nd PrizeDry Creek Valley more |
11/22/2011 - Corrado wrote: NRCompared with the 1st, I was pretty disappointed with this, even at the price point. Very little depth out of the bottle and fairly thin on the palate. Improved somewhat for the second glass and overall okay QPR, but not nearly the effort of Monkey Prize. |

2006 Ty Caton Cabernet Sauvignon Caton VineyardSonoma Valley more |
7/16/2011 - Corrado wrote: NRTasted as part of an 02/03/04/06 vertical. General consensus was that this vintage was still not ready for immediate consumption and needed considerable decanting/aeration to be as balanced as the 03 or 04. Clearly good potential in the bottle, but I'll probably put a personal drinking window on my remaining bottle for 2015+. |

7/16/2011 - Corrado wrote: NRSurprisingly still a little tight out of the bottle and benefits from an hour+ of decanting. Also surprising was how the '03 (Napa) held up better into the following day for a re-taste than the '04. |

2002 Ty Caton Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valleymore |
7/16/2011 - Corrado wrote: NRPossibly a bad bottle given the expected aging interval, but when tasted as a part of a vertical (02, 03, 04, 06), the '02 was falling short with muted flavors and more of a porty nose than the other wines. This particular bottle would certainly have not be quaffable in 2019, but did not have any evidence of failure or corking. It just tasted like its best years were in the past. |

2006 McNab Ridge Pinotage NapoliMendocino County more |
7/16/2011 - Corrado wrote: NRDrinking well, shows best when slightly chilled (~58F). Agree with the previous comment that the overall structure is lacking, but it's a very pleasant-drinking wine that probably has at least another year before dropping off. |

2006 Little Vineyards Center StageSonoma Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/13/2010 - Corrado wrote: NRI would hesitate to say that this is still in the "not quite ready" category. Very rough out of the bottle, tannic. Mellowed over the course of a few hours, but a longer decant is in order. Definitely more in an old-world-styled wine that does best with a rich meal. |

1/16/2010 - Corrado wrote: NRBased on the other comments, I'm not going to give this wine a score/rating based on my assumption that the bottle I had was flawed. It was relatively flat and disjointed and tasted like a wine that was well beyond its prime. |

2005 Castello di Gabbiano Alleanza Toscana IGTSuperTuscan Blend more |
1/16/2010 - Corrado wrote: NRSolid, full-bodied wine, not showing as much of the oak treatment as it was a year ago and that actually makes for a much more balanced glass of wine. This still reminds me much more of a New World styled wine than a 'traditional' Toscano. |

1/16/2010 - Corrado wrote: NRMy leaning is toward this being on the decline. The big nose and big fruit I recall from the last bottle (quite some time ago) has faded substantially. Still a nice bottle of wine, but if I had any left, I'd drink 'em in the next 6 mos. |
