2010 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private ReserveNapa Valley more |
7/18/2014 - BK29 wrote: 95 pointsWhoa baby. Tastes like every other one of these I've ever had in terms of flavor/profile, (maybe a little bit more red fruits-raspberry perhaps? this year) but really has a nice mouthfeel and balance. A great effort, drank wonderfully after a short decant. Definitely a winner. |

6/13/2014 - BK29 wrote: 93 pointsFantastic. Wasnt expecting this actually after my experience with the 07. This is ripe, ready, elegant, and really well proportioned and balanced. Nice classy effort and a super QPR. |

2009 Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valleymore |
6/9/2014 - BK29 wrote: 95 pointsSinging. Enormous improvement since 1 year ago- dark fruit has really come out, still retains that earthiness but in a complimentary way not primary. |

2010 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveNapa Valley more |
4/7/2014 - BK29 wrote: 94 pointsThis was gorgeous. Really deep and packed with dark berry flavors, leather and tar and that type of stuff (all in a good way). A lot like their 07 which I loved - I thought the 08 and 09 misfired - the 10 is back. |

2010 Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
10/28/2013 - BK29 wrote: 94 pointsSolid as usual. Deep dark cherry, chocolate, smooth yet bold at the same time. I'd say the 10 is somewhere in between the 08 and 09. Go buy |

2010 Charles Krug Winery (Peter Mondavi Family) Family Reserve GenerationsNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/16/2013 - BK29 wrote: 93 pointsSaw Spectator's 92 rating/feature and they are right on the money. For $37.99 this is one of the best deals out there. Rich and deep enough cab profile but what stands out is the mouthfeel, smoothness and elegance. You could decant and pour this blind to an expert and they'd easily believe its a $100+ wine. |

2007 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside SelectStags Leap District more |
6/10/2013 - BK29 wrote: 97 pointsClean and bright fruit on both the nose and the palatte - raspberry, jam, some nice floral notes. Incredibly pure and smooth. Awesome wine for sure, and will only get better - did seem like it had some hidden pizzaz/potential there that didn't fully erupt. |

6/10/2013 - BK29 wrote: 92 pointsMeant to let this one sit a few years in the cellar...whoops. Pretty good juice. Raspberry, tart, cherries. Quite gamey. Nice balance of power and smoothness. Will be much better in a few years i am sure. |

2009 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill Estate VineyardNapa Valley more |
6/2/2013 - BK29 wrote: 95 pointsTried this after trying both the 07 and 08 recently. After reading the reviews i actually found the 09 to be better than expected, especially at this stage. Believe this could end up the best of the bunch down the road, just based on the tremendous concentration and depth it has. A little bit more dust/rock/graphite to go with the full on attack of dark fruit. Phenomenal stuff. Decanted 1.5 hrs. |

5/17/2013 - BK29 wrote: 93 pointsYou have to be a fan of the Lewis style but if you are this is a great buy. Big bad boy with some balance-oak, cherry, a little earthier than the regular cabs. Solid. |

5/5/2013 - BK29 wrote: 92 pointsJust wanted to see where this was at. Definitely needs time. Two years from now should hit its stride. Not as good as the 08 which is a calssic in my book, but solid. |

2008 Go Figure Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 14Napa Valley more |
4/30/2013 - BK29 wrote: 93 pointsConfirmed this was a total coup. Cellar time helped even more. Reminds me of the Beringer Private Reserve (at half the price) in that it is a very unique blend, has a different yet appealing profile, uses ripe, high-quality grapes. Shoulda bought 3 cases!
