1997 Kendall-Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon Grand ReserveCalifornia more |
4/7/2024 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 90 pointsHad very low expectations. Fully mature, dark ruby color no bricking just slightly translucent edge. I was surprised this held up so well. I obtained this bottle in 2021 for $10 and feels like a steal. Also, my 2,000th bottle consumed (at least those tracked in CT). |

4/5/2024 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 96 pointsDecanted for about an hour. Cork didn’t survive opening. Very little sediment. Still good acidity though so plenty of life left. Tannins well integrated. Still plenty of fruit. Glad I finally opened this bottle. |

4/14/2023 - Kbentley007 wrote: 92 pointsHad a little bit of a green pepper quality paired with great fruit, thought tannins were moderate but eased up over course of the bottle. Brought to a restaurant and 30 minute decant before consuming over next 90 minutes. Would have given it more time. |

11/23/2022 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 92 pointspours a glass-staining purple with an powerful nose of blueberry, blackberry, black cherry and spicy wood. Tasting shows ripe, concentrated flavors of black and red fruits, chocolate covered espresso beans, smoky bacon and a gorgeous rush of vanilla. |

2014 Ferrari-Carano Prevail Back FortyAlexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon more |
8/6/2022 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 93 pointsI was pleasantly surprised by this one. Gave it 2.5 hours in decanter and essentially no sediment out of bottle. Blackberry and cassis, tannins mellowing, medium acidity. Like many 2014, in a good spot now and would generally drink before 2013s. |

2016 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Rock Block Series Soul FireStags Leap District more |
2/5/2022 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted for 2.5 hours, moderate sediment in the bottle. Either needs a much longer decant or just more time. Think I would revisit for a 6 hour decant. Huge wine, dark staining inky purple. Has potential to improve. |

2014 Ridge Petite Sirah Lytton EstateDry Creek Valley more |
1/7/2022 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThe entire bottle was coated with sediment - filtered during decant. Didn't open up as much as I expected over 2.5 hrs. Had a bit of pyrazine/green pepper to it that I normally don't expect in PS. Have one more bottle - guess I'll sit on it for another 1-2 years and revisit but don't have high hopes. |

12/31/2021 - Kbentley007 Likes this wine: 94 pointsLots of sediment in bottle removed through filter for decant. 3hrs air before enjoying. A big wine for sure, black and blue fruits, dark and inky; tannins have integrated quite a bit through decant. Will drink remaining bottles over the next 3 to 5 years max. |
