2006 Groth Cabernet SauvignonOakville more |
1/8/2024 - packinmn Likes this wine: 90 pointsStill quite good, but its time to drink any bottles you have left. Decanted and sat for 45 minutes before serving with picana steaks. I was kind of meh about it initially, but it really came alive with food. |

12/4/2022 - packinmn Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is a special wine… to me. I know some people have enjoyed it more and less than others. But, I am unapologetically in love with it. Hope y’all loved it as much as I did. Last bottle enjoyed with a wagyu tomahawk ribeye that I cooked to my preference with precision. |

10/12/2022 - packinmn wrote: 88 pointsI have some experience with Chateau Senejac from the 2010 vintage. Like the 2010, this is drinking young early in its lifecycle but really came alive over time. So, I am going to be patient with this one. I think the 2016 has traits that lead me to believe it will be great in time. I bought a case and will check another in a year or so. |

2010 Château SénéjacHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/30/2022 - packinmn Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine has some sentimental value. It’s one of the first wines I bought an entire case of, just to see how good it might be over time. So… over time I drank some. Every few years, another. |

2009 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V.Stags Leap District more |
12/31/2021 - packinmn Likes this wine: 92 pointsI described this earlier today to someone as “if you don’t like this, you don’t like red wine”. I’ll stand by that. This is the quintessential Napa Cab - big, bold, and beautiful. With some strip steaks touched with the right amount of charcoal. |

2011 Stein Family Wines Just JoshinCalifornia Red Blend more |
2/12/2021 - packinmn wrote: 88 pointsFinally came back to this one almost 6 years later. Time was friendly to this bottle. I guess I'd just say it's a solid inexpensive wine. I probably won't buy more of it, but I have no regrets. Pairing with penne in an arugla and sausage broth. |

2006 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special SelectionNapa Valley more |
10/30/2020 - packinmn wrote: 94 pointsBig beautiful cab! Lush and bold... velvety mouthfeel. Ripe fruit and very relaxed tannin. This was my only bottle, but I think there is still some window in front of this. That said, if I had more I would probably drink over next 6-12 months to enjoy it at its best. |

1/9/2020 - packinmn wrote: 90 pointsVery solid wine... great with food but drank well as an aperitif. Drinking very nicely but will withstand some bottle time. |

10/7/2018 - packinmn Likes this wine: 89 pointsGreat QPR. Young and requires some time to open and flourish. Great with pasta and grilled meat. |

2012 Grgich Hills Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
9/23/2018 - packinmn Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrinking really nicely right now. Full bodied and fruit forward but not in an in-your-face sort of way. Complexity apparent from first sip that expands and extends through rest of bottle. This is how I like my Cabs. Wish I had several more but will hold for a bit and find the right occasion to open my last one. |

4/1/2018 - packinmn wrote: 91 pointsAn unusual PN but delicious nonetheless. Sweeter than you’d think it might be for a red. Deep, dark purple. Fruit forward. Probably not a great choice for PN die hards but I wish I had another bottle in any event |

2007 La Lecciaia Di Pacini Mauro Brunello di Montalcino RiservaSangiovese more |
11/24/2017 - packinmn Likes this wine: 90 pointsPoured a medium garnet color and decanted for 2 hours before tasting. Still a lot of life left, but drinking nicely. Paired wonderfully with leftover Prime Rib. |

10/31/2017 - packinmn Likes this wine: 91 pointsI keep thinking, at the price I paid, that there must be something I am missing... it can't be this good. But I haven't figured it out. Tastes like a bottle much more expensive in my opinion. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
