2015 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Oakvillemore |
11/25/2023 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 95 pointsLovely wine, enjoyable and paired nicely with a variety of Thanksgiving leftovers. Soft tannins, chocolatey undertone beneath light black fruit for me. |

2017 TOR Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
12/8/2023 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis wine drank beautifully. Very little time needed for a decant, it opened up quickly in the glass, easy tannins. Lucious dark fruit, minerals in the background, not a lot of earth or spice but someone with a better palate might have picked out something small there. Lovely balance. |

2018 Christopher Tynan Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside blocks C. Corbett Family VineyardNapa Valley more |
12/24/2023 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 98 pointsThis wine was nearly perfect for me. Opened it Xmas Eve morning around 8 AM, poured out a little and replaced the cork to micro-ox until dinner. Re-opened it about 6 PM and poured it immediately. Gorgeous nose of black fruit, tannins had really softened. I got black cherry on top, mild earth/mineral undertones, but just a stunner, well-balanced and elegant. |

2019 Robert Young Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon ScionAlexander Valley more |
10/7/2023 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 94 pointsTook a little while to open up, a couple of hours at least. Tannins released and fruit came on strong at that point. Supple, ample blackberry/currant, some spice to it but hard for me to identify. Will wait a while before opening my second bottle, curious to see how this one changes! |

2016 Memento Mori Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
3/3/2023 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 97 pointsStunning wine. Ripe, dark fruit, hints of blueberry and mild earth, tannins already softening so that with a little decanting time it's just a velvety, long finish. Can see this aging well for some time but lovely already. |

2006 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/4/2023 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 94 pointsSoft tannins, fruit definitely pushing through with that classic Bordeaux earth below, spices and graphite. Decanted an hour or so and it opened up some over time, could have decanted longer. Quite enjoyable. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2/25/2023 - cfluehr wrote: 94 pointsAging nicely, still tannic but not overly so. Balanced fruit, some earth, should open up more with a little more age. |

2019 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon CarterNapa Valley more |
11/10/2022 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 98 pointsI love this wine. Hits every note I ask for, supple dark fruit, nice balance, some tannins but not overly restrictive, and subtle undertones of earth and wood. Will be interesting to see how it evolves but already a beauty. |

2018 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill Estate VineyardNapa Valley more |
9/3/2022 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis wine is obviously still young and will only get better, but still delightful at this early age. Complexity but not too closed, especially after a bit of decanting. Long finish, black fruit throughout and light herbal and graphite undertones. A gorgeous bottle that will continue to become moreso. |

2015 Bounty Hunter Cabernet Sauvignon Blind Justice Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
4/6/2022 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 94 pointsRipe red fruit, forward, long finish and no bitterness at all. Hint of something herbal, but couldn't place it, not strong/overpowering. |

2014 Robert Sinskey Vineyards Pinot Noir Los Carnerosmore |
8/21/2021 - cfluehr Likes this wine: 91 pointsNice to drink. Light fruit, cranberry and strawberry to me, a little earth but not overpowering, maybe more herbal than earth on that note. |
