October 2, 2008 - This wine is drinkable, and the nose is quite nice...but it is riddled with VA. Some nice black fruit and espresso comes through, but the obvious VA hurts this wine.

June 1, 2008 - 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon – is a distinctly masculine wine, though with some elements of interesting ambiguity, like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. Sweet fruit-wood smoke with licorice-tar & other grand aromatics of tobacco & leather, a medley of ripe, black berries & cassis in a finely carved cedar cask, & perhaps a trace of mint & something of lavender? This Cabernet is so extracted & dark that you cannot see though it unless you hold your glass above your head at a sharp horizontal angle, looking up through a thin layer of wine in your tilted glass towards a bright light, thus revealing its limpid clarity. Occasionally, some of the fine liquid will spill upon your pate, in which case consider yourself properly anointed. Grapes: the Lone Madrone Vineyard in the York Mountain appellation west of Paso Robles. Aged: barrel fermented & aged 43 months in oak. Ageability: longer than most of us.
Bottle Price: $75
