Blinds at Palace Steakhouse (The Palace Steakhouse, SF): (Blind) Faded garnet color - an old wine. Slight new oak impression. Elevated acid. Medium tannins - resolved. Probably was medium-plus to high tannins on release. 13.5 alcohol.
Given the oak, acid, and tannins - Old CA cab? Final call: 1970 California Cab. Given the high acid, probably from Santa Cruz Mtns - maybe Kathleen Kennedy or similar?
Actual: 1977 Sebastiani Pinot-St.-George (Negrette) Whoah! Negrette! No idea if this is typical for this grape.
