2017 Justin Vineyards & Winery Cabernet SauvignonPaso Robles more |
3/19/2024 - Redfisher Likes this wine: 91 pointsFor me this wine is one of my top choices for pairing with cheese appetizers and then beef dinner. It is fruit forward with cherry and blueberry and some caramel. A medium finish with understated tannins but full bodied nonetheless . Not much spice or lingering after tones as in a classic high end cab but just a very pleasant dinner wine that many guests will enjoy |

2013 Newton Chardonnay UnfilteredNapa Valley more |
2/5/2023 - Redfisher Does not like this wine: 83 pointsDid not care for this wine over several tries using Coravin to draw a few glasses over time. Maybe I just let it age out a little too much but it seemed flat and without much identifiable character. Lots of alcohol , slightly sour and peppery and not very pleasant for my palate. |

2013 Sterling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
12/25/2022 - Redfisher Likes this wine: 88 pointsProbably let this one go too long. Was a bit funky when first opened. Aired out ok with a couple of hours in the decanter but still had a lot of earthy darker notes. Not a complete waste but my guess it would have been better a couple of years ago. |

2017 1000 Stories Cabernet Sauvignon Prospector's ProofCalifornia more |
4/23/2021 - Redfisher Likes this wine: 88 pointsA Bold wine with a lot of character. A bit smoky and some tobacco notes up front. Medium fruit and tannins with a relatively long finish. Good with flavorful foods such as aged Cheddar or Manchego cheese or a hearty steak that will not overpower this wine. |
