2015 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
4/13/2024 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 92 pointsPopped and poured and enjoyed over dinner for an hour or so. Still retains good structure, but is settling into darker fruit, oak, and herby notes. Worked well with food and on its own. We have a few more from this year, so looking forward to seeing how/if they progress. |

3/2/2024 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 90 pointsLovely pop and pour with food. This may be in a strange aging period. The nose was bright, but palate that was a bit soft but still with of cranberry and herbs. |

2020 Wrath Pinot Noir KW RanchSanta Lucia Highlands more |
2/21/2024 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 91 pointsAlbeit a tad young, this wine had nice spice on the nose and luscious fruit and some savory notes on the palate. A very solid representation of Santa Lucia. |

1998 Château TrotanoyPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/8/2024 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 94 pointsStunning wine with a beautiful nose and luscious fruit that is giving way to hints of herb and cedar. I think this is entering into a perfect drinking window but will hold on and continue to develop and evolve. |

2015 Kind Cellars Cabernet FrancNapa Valley more |
12/30/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 93 pointsThere are some wineries that can do Cab Franc, and some not so much. Kind falls in the former category. Being able to meet the winemaker and see the facility, attention to detail is everything. Yes this is big at 15.5% alcohol, but seems to be just right balance out the deep fruit and subtle spice. |

1989 Château du TertreMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/25/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 90 pointsSince this is a comment 4 years after the last drinker, didn’t know what to expect. Good clarity and nearing a deep brick color. Nose is herby and still surprisingly bright on the palate. Some fruit still lingers but are giving way to more earth and herb characteristics. I’m not sure where it’s going, but a fun one to try in its middle age. |

2017 L'Aventure Estate CuvéePaso Robles Willow Creek District Red Blend more |
10/28/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for about 30 min and this wine opened up beautifully. Explosive dark fruit flavor with a hint of herb. Still some tannins and acidity that will allow this to age, but I really liked experiencing this wine now. |

2002 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
8/19/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpened a mag of this which did this wine a favor. Still a bit of structure and fruit, but has softened with notes of cedar and herbs. No need to decant and good to drink now. |

1970 Château ClimensBarsac Sémillon more |
8/18/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis has turned into a wonderful surprise. If you’re lucky enough to taste, the nose is floral and apricot, and mouth is rich, lucscious, citrus and honey. Good to drink now, but who knows where it will go. |

1961 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/18/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 93 pointsAfter decanting for a few hours, this wine is regal. It is one of the best older vintages we’ve had. Cedar and herbs in the nose, sandlewood and a litttle fruit still on the palate. Color was somewhat brick but relatively clear. Cork came out whole. My first ‘61…illuminating. |

1949 Château FilhotSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
7/8/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 88 pointsNose has notes of tawny port so thinking it would be sickenly sweet. Not the case. Mouth is intense orange peel and botanicals. So lovely to drink something this classic. |

2012 La Sirena Art Bus Red Barrett VineyardCalistoga Red Blend more |
7/2/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 93 pointsNicely balanced with no need for decanting. Still good structure but softer tannins. I’m a fan of Syrah and this one did not disappoint with notes of dark fruit and cassis. I think we opened at just the right time, but could still lay down in the bottle a bit more. |

2015 Château Haut-BatailleyPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/16/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 92 pointsYes, a tad young, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Didn’t even wait long to decant. Deep dark fruits that finishes with spice and licorice. A bit of cheese softened the tannins and acid, but honestly didn’t need it. |

1970 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/25/2023 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 92 pointsLucky to have another bottle of this almost 3 years later. Still great clarity and color. Notes have softened a bit, but still woodsy and leathery with a hint of mint. |

1967 Château Trotte VieilleSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/23/2022 - Wine Kat wrote: 80 pointsGiven the earlier notes 10+ years ago, I guess I’m lucky that the nose no longer existed. A little herby, wet dog on the palate but dead as a doornail. RIP |

2010 Bremer Family Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
10/21/2022 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 92 pointsAfter the last note a few years ago, this is still a solid wine. Tannins when first opened but soften up quickly. Cedar, licorice, and dark fruits still and long hang time make this something to enjoy and perhaps later. |

1974 Joseph Phelps InsigniaNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/16/2022 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 96 pointsI’m in awe and this can still go a few years in my opinion. Deep red color with just a hint of brick on the edges. Nose was cedar and lovely herbs. Mouth still had bright fruit but gave away to leather and tobacco with an amazing hang time. A truly amazing wine and indicative of Napa 40+ years ago. |

1993 Jarvis (California) Winery Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
10/10/2022 - Wine Kat Does not like this wine: 80 pointsWell, there’s not much there there. If you have this vintage, suggest gifting it to someone you don’t know well. I think just well past its prime. |

1967 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/2/2022 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 92 pointsSuch a nice showing from a classic wine. Brick around the edges but still some deep red tones in the glass. Nose was cigar and cedar. Palate was forest floor, wet earth, still good acid, but finished quickly. Drink ‘‘em if you got ‘em |

1967 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/28/2022 - Wine Kat wrote: flawedI think this would have been wonderful in its heyday, but I suspect this one just didn’t make it through the aging process. Brown and cloudy, with a nose with a little cedar/cigar box, but underlying notes of prune and elements of vinegar. Palate was sour, vinegary with a little burnt toast. RIP |

1958 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/25/2022 - Wine Kat wrote: 85 pointsCork came out in one piece. Nose was funky with a little wet newspaper note (not good). Brown in color. No fruit left, and unfortunately no characteristics replaced. RIP |

1983 Château ClimensBarsac Sémillon more |
9/24/2022 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 94 pointsThe oldest Sauternes I’ve tasted (so far), and I was pleasantly surprised on how well balanced this was. Still some acidity, but a long finish with some hints of caramel and brown sugar. Beautiful |

1966 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/21/2022 - Wine Kat Likes this wine: 89 pointsNo flaws, just soft and elegant with lovely notes of forest floor and earth. Not much fruit left, but was surprised how vibrant the color was still. Such fun to experiment with a true classic. |
