2018 Cardano Cabernet Sauvignon Broken ShaleAtlas Peak more |
1/13/2024 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 91 pointsOn the first taste I thought this wine was bad. I just popped and poured. I then let it warm in the glass; was not impressed. After one day in the bottle and left in the glass to air out this wine redeemed itself. Not fruity enough for me, but good mouthfeel and decent finish. Good purple color. |

2015 Realm Cellars Farella VineyardCoombsville Cabernet Sauvignon more |
11/24/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 96 pointsGood purple color- nice mouthfeel. Good tannins, nice dark, blue fruit. This is another well constructed wine. Nose gets better as time goes on. I really enjoy Realm and Farella is another good production. |

2012 Moone-Tsai Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Cor LeonisNapa Valley more |
11/23/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 95 pointsVery floral good fruity nose., good tannins. As it warmed up it smoothed out- good color. Agree that it could go even further time. This to me is a very well put together wine. |

2017 Kata Beckstoffer Bourn VineyardSt. Helena Red Blend more |
9/10/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 91 pointsNot enjoyable for a Beckstoffer- seems a bit acidic. Pleasant on the nose, but subdued fruit. Good purple color. I guess I expected better. I have a feeling that it may not get any better. We will see!! |

2016 Beau Vigne Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveNapa Valley more |
6/25/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 94 pointsAgree with Be.Lee- this wine has improved with time. It is a very subtle, smooth wine with nice slight blue with red fruit notes. Clean finish. Went well with the meat I had. Not the powerful wine I was expecting but great nonetheless . |

2017 B Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Oakvillemore |
4/30/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 94 pointsJust took out of my cellar - was good yesterday and still great the next day. Excellent blue fruit, great mouthfeel , nice tannins, dark purple color. This hits all the marks- especially at the price point . 2017 was not the best year in my understanding so I am even more impressed ! Very solid effort. |

2015 Adobe Road Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Napa Valleymore |
4/23/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 93 pointsReally perfumey, cedar nose, more red than blue fruit and a bit thin on the mouth, good tannins. Went well with my burger. Will see how it changes tomorrow. |

2019 B Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
2/14/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 90 pointsJust popped and poured- still a bit cold but so far overall my 90 rating still stands. Will wait for a bit of air and warmth. Was a bit better but I think 90 is still a good rating. Nice color but had a bit of an aftertaste that did not improve with air. Maybe 91 after air?? |

2016 Amici Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
2/12/2023 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 92 pointsGood tannins, nice purple color- doesn’t seem very integrated to me. A bit tart on the finish, a little cedar but not much fruit on the nose. I did not decant this for long so will see how the next taste goes, but on first impression I am a bit disappointed. Will see if this To Kalon can redeem itself! |

2015 Realm Cellars MoonracerStags Leap District Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/26/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 92 pointsNot as good as it was last year- good color, nice body - nose was not as forthcoming as earlier- majority cedar notes for me- blue fruit subdued now with more of the red coming through. Not sure if it was what I ate but getting a slight off putting aftertaste- can’t quite place it. I think Cellar Tracker is right in saying these should be drunk now!! |

2013 Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Rutherfordmore |
11/20/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 92 pointsNice color good tannins. Solid wine but as it ages the fruit forward goes away, which is what I look for. |

2013 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon One Point FiveStags Leap District more |
10/18/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 91 pointsGood color- even tannins but just not much punch left for my palate. Nose is bright- cedar red fruit. Clean finish but not much fruit on the tongue. Still a good wine |

2013 Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Rutherfordmore |
10/17/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis wine holds up over time- good color, nice even tannins, good mix of blue and red fruit. A little musty on the nose but that blew off with some air. I got some cedar as well. Nice wine with a bit of age on it! |

2019 B Cellars Beckstoffer Georges III VineyardRutherford Cabernet Sauvignon more |
9/23/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 94 pointsNice deep purple color, excellent blue fruit on the nose with a tinge of bright red- a good bit of cedar on the nose as well. Very smooth on the palate with slight sour aftertaste but not bad. Very integrated tannins now. Interesting how this wine will evolve. I know I drank this too early but it is really drinking well for me now. Wow it will be interesting to see how this wine changes! Pretty darn good right now!! |

2019 B Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Raithe Oakvillemore |
9/15/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 93 pointsNice deep color, getting cedar, blue fruit on the nose, slightly “hot” on the nose. Good blue fruit on the palate, clean finish. This is a good wine but a bit “hot” at 15.6 alcohol. Will be interesting to see how this develops. This wine is right up my alley with the strong blue fruits!! |

2017 Concha y Toro Cabernet Sauvignon Don MelchorPuente Alto more |
8/30/2022 - goonar182 Likes this wine: 91 pointsNice purple color- at bit musty on the nose but as it gets more air this goes away. Smooth, good red fruit and slight blue fruit notes. Good alcohol. This is a good wine but may need more time- just not quite put together yet in my mind, but I can’t really place why. Good components but together not yet ready. |
