  I like all pavie wines. This vintage is drinking much better than the famed 2005. Just so well made. Rich but not over extracted. Tannins present but well integrated. Some earth but no funk. Guests really enjoyed this high quality St Emillion.

• 2009 Martin Ray Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 88 Points

  USA, California, Napa Valley

  Typical big napa cab. Nothing wrong with it but nothing unique either. Probably a good pour for large groups looking for a red cab that's easy to drink and enjoy.

• 1992 Seavey Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 97 Points

  USA, California, Napa Valley

  WOTN. Even better than the Pavie. Surprised many throughout the night. Just such a well made wine. Has aged very well. A lot of structure. More French than Cali. Seavey is not on a lot of radars but should be. Stunning.

What a great night with friends and family. Had a nice three piece band playing great music poolside. Food consisted of coconut shrimp, crab cakes, beef tenderloin, and ham. Weather was perfect and the wines were enjoyed throughout the evening
