1986 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
4/29/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 92 pointsGood but not great. This is on the backside of its drinking window. If you have it drink now, holding probably won’t improve it |

2014 Roy Piper Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
2/3/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 95 pointsMy first Roy Piper wine, decanted an hour and it was perfect. A little tannin to stick to the really nice mix of red and black fruit. Really easy and enjoyable wine to drink now and clearly made with very good grapes. |

2014 Perliss Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon The RavensCalistoga more |
2/3/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 92 pointsDidn't blow me away. Not a lot going on here and that's hard for me to say because I really enjoy Pott's normal style. THis bottle might benefit from 5 years in the bottle but overall it seemed a little disjointed and not in a great spot. |

2015 Wren Hop Pinot Noir Night ChildrenRussian River Valley more |
2/3/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 97 pointsi think this is a 96-97 wine. I am a cab lover and dabble slightly into Pinots and without question this is the best pinot I have had. Well balanced, acidity was perfect, fruit was present but not too sweet like most pinots overall it was exceptional. Maybe a true Cab Lover's Pinot. drink now or hold |

2013 Christopher Tynan Wines Syrah Judge Family VineyardBennett Valley more |
2/3/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 93 pointsNice wine, night one it was tight and didn't give up much except smoke and tannin's. Night 2 the tannin's faded a little, fruit was smooth and still had a light smoked flavor. Overall a good wine but it could use another 3-5 years in the cellar and that would probably add 3-4 points with some age. hold |

2/3/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 93 pointsJust a really nice wine. Well balanced and extremely smooth, after a 30 minute decant it really opened up, no noticeable tanins but dark fruit still the primary flavor. medium bodied wine |

2006 Swanson Cabernet Sauvignon AlexisOakville more |
1/30/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 92 pointsLots of life left here....a little so I would decant a few hours or wait a few more years but this seems to be built to last. Old world style with some solid dark fruit flavors going strong. |

2012 Cappellano Barolo Piè Rupestris Otin Fiorin (Gabutti)Nebbiolo more |
1/28/2018 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 93 pointsVery nice bottle of wine, nice nose and very smooth. Tannins are there at the beginning but integrated well after 30-45 mins of air. Paired well with spicy creole food at cochon in New Orleans |

2015 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
12/25/2017 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 94 pointsI am not a big pinot drinker but this was a fabulous bottle. Well balanced, lots of great fruit but not too sweet. TRB knocked this one out of the park. Fortunately I have a few more bottles and I think this will improve with a little time but there is no shame in popping and pouring this one now. |

12/25/2017 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 94 pointspop and pour, this was a great bottle of wine. Lots of dark fruit with a hint of chocolate. Velvety smooth and the tanins are extremely well integrated. Just a well balanced bottle of wine. |

2015 Outpost Zinfandel Howell Mountainmore |
12/25/2017 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 93 pointsPlenty of pepper on the finish, a little tight. I decanted for an hour...probably needed 3. Will hold on to my remaining bottles for at least a year. You can tell this is a well made wine. |

1980 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Bella OaksRutherford more |
11/23/2017 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe heitz was nice. Clearly a 40 yr old wine and a little tart for my taste. Lots of cherry and some faint eucalyptus. A little leather and old cedar as well. Purchased directly from winery. Corks still in great shape |

11/15/2017 - WestUAg Likes this wine: 92 pointsTook an hour or so to knock the dust off, musty to start and then revealed some secondary flavors..still has some fruit left but god some tobacco and forest floor. pretty nice old wine but if you have this you should drink up soon...not going to make it much farther. |

2015 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Weitz VineyardNapa Valley more |
11/15/2017 - WestUAg wrote: 95 pointsWhat a really great bottle of wine. Big fruit, candied, sweet but somehow still very balanced. double decanted and took to a restaurant then decanted for an hour before drinking. Happy to have 2 more bottles but will probably hold them for a few more years before drinking. |
