2019 Viña Cobos Cabernet Sauvignon ReptilLujan de Cuyo more |
1/31/2023 - Gkautry wrote: 86 pointsA little disappointed. Had heard good things. Hobbs product. Good color. A little thin in texture. Not the “velvety” feel I have seen in other notes. Red fruit. Pleasant drinking. Better day two. Probably unfair to judge it just yet. Looking for ward to next bottle for second opinion. |

2018 La Jota Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
12/25/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 95 pointsOne hour decant. Just a little cellaring has resulted in a big improvement. Much more open. Still a little tight should improve with age. 95. |

2018 Alta Nova Cellars Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
11/16/2022 - Gkautry Does not like this wine: 76 pointsGood color, but thin. Little nose of tart cherry. Hard to pinpoint the taste. Fig? Chalky? Not a fan. Not good QPR. |

8/1/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 94 pointsDark garnet in color. Nose restrained at first, but opened over a few hours. Medium body and legs. Very approachable now. Red fruits and cigar. Medium finish. Very good now. Should develop nicely. 94. |

2019 Daou Vineyards The PessimistPaso Robles Red Blend more |
7/20/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 90 pointsBig fan of Soul of a Lion and Patrimony. Was recommended to give this a try. Classic Paso profile. Big fruit. Dark and full. If you like that indescribable Paso “funk”, it’s worth a try. Smooth. Good value. Probably prefer it over the Austin Hope Quest for a similar point. Will buy more. |

2017 Jess and Jules Cabernet SauvignonNorth Coast more |
7/7/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep garnet color. Medium legs. Full noise of dark fruit. Some vanilla? Silky with a medium to long finish. Drinks like a much more expensive bottle. |

2017 St. Supéry Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
6/7/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 92 pointsHeld two bottles back from the 17 vintage case purchase to see how they develop. About 15 months since last tasting. This bottle opened more quickly and fully. Dark fruits shining through, but much more rounded than previous tastings. Hints of vanilla. Drinking very well. Strong QPR. Looking forward to the 18s. |

1986 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Private ReserveNapa Valley more |
5/4/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 97 pointsBig fan of BPR. Have been eyeing this one on the wine list for about a year (Soby’s in Greenville SC). Finally took a chance. Beautifully preserved. No signs of age damage. Seems more fruity than more recent vintages. After decanting, improved with time. An excellent bottle. |

2014 Heitz Cellar Zinfandel Ink Grade VineyardNapa Valley more |
4/2/2022 - Gkautry wrote: 85 pointsA bit of a surprise. Typically a big fan of Heitz Cellars, but this particular bottle lacks character. A perfectly fine and drinkable bottle, but disappointing. Will try again in the future to give it a fair chance. |

2018 Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Knoll Districtmore |
4/1/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 94 pointsTried another bottle now that they have had a couple of months following shipping and transport. Also added about a 30 minute decant. More approachable now than before. Bumping to 94. Well suited to my taste. |

2016 Mayacamas Vineyards Cabernet SauvignonMt. Veeder more |
3/22/2022 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 93 pointsStill a little young. Should unwind over the next couple of years. Will score high after some time. PnP, so it didn’t have a fair chance to fully develop. |
