2/18/2024 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 94 pointsMedium - dark red. Fruit and tobacco aroma. Good fruit flavor, spices, not earthy. Very mellow tannins. I have one more bottle, not in a hurry to drink but likely in the next year or so. Better to go now than wait too long. |

2009 Hundred Acre Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli MorganNapa Valley more |
10/22/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 93 pointsMuch, much better than the last bottle of this we had. Purple with orange tinge. Big fruit aroma. Still a good bit of tannin. Smooths out over time open. Big fruit including raspberry. Creamy and rich. Very good wine. |

9/29/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDisappointed this is my only bottle. Deep red -purple. Alcohol, wood, tobacco, forest aroma. Plenty of fruit and soft tannins. Alcohol. Fades on the aftertaste. Very good tonight, will go a few more years. |

9/22/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 92 pointsPossibly past peak. Great aged flavors, but not old. Fruit has faded in favor of spice. A great one and glad to have had it. |

9/20/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 88 pointsNothing wrong with this yet. Fruit is fading. Plenty of oak. Was better after a couple hours open. I have two more bottles, maybe will wait a while and see if this picks up some good old flavors |

2012 Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
9/19/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery good drinking now. Dark purple without hints of oxidation. Good fruit aroma. Vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, cherries flavor. Tannins still on track. A bit lighter flavor than I recall but likely a result of age. Still has years left but no need to wait. |

2015 Scarlett Wines Petit VerdotRutherford more |
9/13/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is a wine in a style that we like. Very deep purple color with a load of sediment. Fruity nose. Very big mouthful, coats your mouth. Spice, cinnamon, vanilla, fruits are present. Was excellent with pasta with tomato and spicy sausage, really held its own. Would buy again. |

2016 Department 66 OthersCôtes Catalanes Grenache Blend, Grenache more |
9/10/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis is a good $12 Costco buy. Still has a bit of harsh tannin on a pop and pour, but the fruit is nice and strong with blueberries and strawberries. Mouth feel has some alcohol but I’m not picking it up so much on the nose. Solid for a relaxing evening. |

9/10/2023 - Mapleglo330 Likes this wine: 92 pointsOh sad times, the last bottle (purchased from Last Bottle) from a defunct winery. Drank this a few weeks ago so I don't have detailed notes, but I recall this was great, had all the aged cab flavors you would expect and was very good for a 2009. Thanks for the memories! |
