2002 Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County
1/1/2011 - LuckeyCellars wrote: 92 Points
We picked up this bottle at the Sebastiani winery in Sonoma back in 2005. We decided to open it to celebrate New Year's Eve last night, and what a wonderful wine this is! The oak from Sebastiani releases is typically heavier than other Sonoma wines, and this bottling is no different. However, this wine has aged extremely well and the oak and vanilla flavors from the barrel are perfectly integrated with the plum and cherry flavors of the grapes. The tannins have mellowed too, making this a balanced, medium-bodied Cab wth perceptible layers of flavor but an overall feeling of harmony among all components. The finish is long, in the 13-15 second range. Just delicious! We paired the wine with a hearty Porterhouse steak, risotto, and stuffed tomatoes. Our only regret is that we only had one bottle of this 2002 vintage!

2006 Château Montet Merlot Bordeaux

The nose portrays a simple fruity red table wine of black cherry, rhubarb, and clove. The palate confirms the nose and ups the ante with notes of plumb and pomegranate and about a 9 second finish.

2007 Château La Rame Sauvignon Blanc Sec

On the palate, grapefruit, maybe a little lemongrass. Simple, top heavy with no finish to speak of, a mix of citrus flavors. Light and crisp, good QPR. Refreshing on a hot summer's day. Enjoyed with some cheese and nuts.
