2007 Tablas Creek Esprit de BeaucastelPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
2/20/2016 - ShirazGuy Does not like this wine: 50 pointsI bought 5 bottles of the 2007 Esprit de Beaucastel. Only 1 was good. The other 4 had bad corks that seeped and let in air; thus they were badly oxidized by the time I opened them. This was the last bottle. Horrible. I have had persistent problems with corks on Tablas Creek wines, so I have stopped buying their wines. |

2/18/2013 - ShirazGuy Likes this wine: 92 pointsDriking beautfully in classic Baroli style. Muscularity and grip, full fruit and long finish. Still plenty of tannins, fruit and structure, this wine will last another 10 years. |

2009 Château de PitrayCastillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/3/2013 - ShirazGuy Likes this wine: 89 pointsAn American Bordeaux. Big, jammy, and delicious; very little of the Bdx earth. Overall, a great effort, similar in style to Dominus. |

2010 Cameron Hughes Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 400Napa Valley more |
1/25/2013 - ShirazGuy wrote: 91 pointsThis wine is huge, jammy, dense and full of fruit. But it has no tannins and does not hold up well. If you are looking for a big, full-bodied California cabernet that is ready to drink now, this is your ticket. If you want something with a little complexity or that is age-worthy, look elsewhere. But for the money, it's a great wine to pop and pour. |

2001 Cain Vineyard & Winery Cain FiveNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/5/2010 - ShirazGuy wrote: 91 pointsDrink up! This wine is mature and ready (and likely past it's peak). With soft tanins that quickly faded, it is not likely to cellar much longer. That being said, it has a nice, classic Bordeaux-style bouquet with good balance and fruit. Not a whole lot of structure or acidity. |
