Had to drink this bottle as I dropped it while filling a new cellar!

1988 Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Sonoma Mountain

Opened up and took a sip and was impressed right out of the bottle. This wine is mature but drinking nicely. Nice deep ruby color, soft tannins. Earthy forest floor nose with some hints of cherry coming through. Drank 7/8 ths of the bottle the evening I opened it and left a bit in a glass overnight, decided to try it the next afternoon and the wine was still drinking with no hints of oxidation. Not too shabby for a 20 year old wine from a tough vintage!

Still going strong, tannins have softened but still giving it backbone after being open 4 hours, no loss of color at all and this was a low fill bottle. Full richly textured wine with gentle dark fruits, a touch of coco and hints of leather and tobacco on the back palate.

2004 K Vintners Ovide En Cerise Vineyard

Walla Walla Valley Red Blend more

11/30/2008 - nwsidewino wrote: 87 points

The more K Vitners wines I drink the more I think this guy is way over-hyped and his wines are very over-rated, especially by the cool winemaker worshipper Jay Miller!

Delicate wine with fine balance. Wonderful nose expressing and old world earthiness.
Great acidity and balance with fine tannins. This wine was the star of the evening standing up to the $70 Carmin Puemo Carmenere! I wish I had a few more bottles!

Delicious bottle of wine. Full bodied, soft tannins, rich fruit but no discernable terroir here.
A bit of a stretch on the value side, I drank this with friends next to a sub $20 bottle of 2003 Carmenere that I bought in Santiago Chile and the less expensive bottle was the hit of the evening!

What a delicious bottle, great nose, dark ruby color, rich texture, full bodied but not sappy wine.
Great tannins, acidity and graceful power, very delicious while still needing some time in the bottle.

Big extracted wine, needs time to open. Peppery notes with undertones of blueberries on the nose. Full bodied with rich texture and nice tannins. Plush fruit as the wine opens up with a long concentrated finish. Needs some time in the bottle. A solid wine for the price.

Strong zin like jammy nose, a bit off putting. Good weight and texture on the palate, solid tannic backbone but not to tannic. A bit tart with a nice lingering finish.
