Classic dirty red fruit heavy Cabernet from Rutherford AVA. Lots of dirty red cherry, black cherry, a sprinkle of blackberries. Sourced from the western part of Rutherford, there are a seemingly innumerable number of soil types and microclimates. But this finishes with a classic Rutherford dust that you can almost see Tchelistcheff raising his glass and giving a nod of approval. Made in the classic Napa style, this wine is worth every bit of The price paid, and I get this one on a deal which makes it a double plus! Drink now or hold for 7 to 10 years with proper cellaring.

Domaine End of Year Party (Chicago, IL): This is a turning "wine". If you put it near your nose, your head turns away. If you swallow it, your stomach turns. I hear points are assigned arbitrarily these days by the big critics. I will endeavour to do the same here. I give this 100 points, minus one point for every year Caymus has been in existence. Then I take away 10 points for the ugly label, which made me turn my eyes away. The Wagners are laughing all the way to the bank.
