Really good for an old Cab. Had a ‘99 not long ago and that was definitely past its peak. The ‘05 was maybe just starting the decline and still very good. Lot of fruit. Decanted for awhile.

It’s definitely a lighter Pinot. Still tasting well.

What can I say? This wine was elegantly complex and aged extremely well. I wish that I had more.

A nice Chardonnay with some hints of pears and bananas. Not as complex as Napa, but holds its own.

So incredible. Yet I would lay this down another few years and I think it will be even better.

Very good but would give this one a couple of more years. Earthy tones and delicate finish.

Try is is a beautiful wine. It shows the fruit you would expect from a Napa cab, but has an elegance that only a top notch wine can give.

Not a super big cab, but a winner nonetheless. We enjoyed this with dinner and recommend it.

A truly amazing wine. I do believe a couple more years of aging would have made it even better. If you open it now, decant in for an hour or two. We had it at a restaurant and started drinking it right away. That being said, it is incredibly complex and a total fruit bowb. Enjoy.

This is a Petit Verdot that is almost like a cab. Lot of fruit and goes down smooth.

Big deep chocolate taste. A loose wine with earthy tones. Full bodied. Chewy. Rich with some cherry.

Dry finish, semi-sweet, strawberries, summer in a glass, even in November.

This one was absolutely incredible. It's a big Napa cab and very complex on the finish. This was paired with a ribeye steak and it was magic

While not as big as a Napa cab, this wind was every bit as complex and delicious.

I drank this with my friends and would have to say that it is definitely past it's prime. Still drinkable though and pretty good. Drink this now if you still have one.
