Chateau Boswell Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon 2005

Starting with aromas of cassis, licorice, leather and mocha. Dense, creamy-sweet and juicy, with excellent concentration to its luscious flavors of dark berries and semi-sweet chocolate. This grand creation features ultra luscious fruit flavors deftly melded together with plush tannins that bode well for long term cellaring (if you can wait). Enjoy tonight, after decanting...

Alondra Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville 2007

Classic aromatics of cassis, blueberry, cedar, tobacco and tapanade. The palate is textured and savory, with the ripe fruit profile wrapped around Cabernet complexities of cedar, tobacco, and bakers chocolate. Very fleshy. Integrated tannins then frame the fruit in a long, persistent finish. We love a good deal (especially when it s for a 2007...

Arkenstone Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mtn. Obsidian 2009

Dark and brooding in the glass, this über-impressive new wine captures your attention immediately. The opening aromatics of spices and dried floral notes give way to black cherry and mocha. Silky tannins on the mid-palate deliver a galaxy of toasted nuts, dry tobacco, vanilla bean, ripe blackberries, dark stone fruits and a hint of allspice....

Black Bart’s Bride Napa 2007

Polished, complex nose; aromas of orange pith, key lime pie, white peach, stone fruits, nut, spice, apricot danish with clotted cream. The innate generosity of the palate is tightly wound around a spine of minerality, this wine will develop superbly, gaining richness without losing its varietal identity.

Alpha Omega Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2007

This remarkable new effort launches forth with delicious black currants, plums, and a hint of spice and creamy vanilla on the finish. Elegant, full-bodied flavors are intense and substantial, but neither heavy nor overweight. This beautiful, pure, well-balanced Cabernet should drink well for 10+ years, peaking around 2015 in our estimate but a guaranteed thriller...

Arkenstone Obsidian Howell Mountain 2007

Deep crimson hues reflecting its full, rich body, this uber-impressive new wine captures your attention immediately. The opening aromatics of spices and dried floral notes give way to black cherry and mocha. As it opens, the aromatics continue to develop and perfumed floral notes become more dominant. An initial tease of pomegranate and cranberry move...
