Introduction

Had a great time with family and friends. The wine and steaks were great!!!

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 1998 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 92 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Nice red color, just slightly bricking towards the edges. Great nose on this wine. Anise, dark berries, meaty, leather and tobacco. On the palate I picked up some floral, cedar and a some pepper notes. Tannins totally resolved at this point.

  • 2005 Sean Thackrey Orion Rossi Vineyard 94 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena

    Nice dark purple coloring. Great nose on this wine. I got cherries, anise, cracked pepper, mint and tobacco/leather component. Great lush palate, tannins are present and big but silky in texture. Nice long finish. Excellent wine paired with our wide variety of steaks.
