2014 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga
12/23/2023 - mbo1 Likes this wine: 91 Points
Decanted 30 minutes. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Not much tanin, though what is there softened over next few hours. Hoping other vintages are more complex as this leaves a little to be desired. Not going to die any time soon, but not sure that it improves much from here though another 5+ years could lead to some tertiary notes.

2013 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

This is a big wine. Needs quite a bit more time to calm down... Initial nose and palate are strikingly similar to a syrah, but calms down after a few hours of time in decanter. Hold for a few more years. Has potential for 95+

2002 Herb Lamb Cabernet Sauvignon HL

Drinking beautifully at the moment. Obviously a cooler weather, mountain vineyard. Still retains a nice acidity that meshes well with the tannins. Bold nose and full palate.
This one should still have some time left, but likely not getting any better.
I may be partial because I have always loved the Herb Lamb wines, but glad that I still have another bottle.
