...what astounded me most recently is the profound depth of flavor... - 2001 Hewitt Cabernet Sauvignon
The Hewitt cab delivers a mouth-coating richness that lights up every nook and cranny of my palate’s pleasure center.
... fabulous with game for Christmas... - 2007 Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine would be fabulous with game for Christmas; Peasant, Duck or a properly cooked Prime Rib or Crown Rib Roast.

Somewhere in between new and old world - 2005 Sebastiani Vineyards, Sonoma Cask, Cabernet Sauvignon
Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery offers very economical to expensive wines … all very consistent with good price to quality ratio.
Taste is very smooth and has a delicate texture. It compares to the likeness of a top notch chocolate - 2004 Thornton, Syrah
This wine is too expensive for me on a regular basis, but when my friends come over for dinner, I definitely would like to have at least a bottle per couple with dinner. Otherwise, someone would get left out of the enjoyment!
A dusky, seductive wine that offers... - 2003 William Harrison Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
A dusky, seductive wine that offers up spice, black cherry, cedar, anise and tobacco.
This wine is produced by the descendants of the famous conservationist John Muir - 2004 Muir-Hanna Estate Bottled Pinot Noir
Instead of deepening, though, the wine lost its grip on all the richer elements, leaving behind battered petals steeped in perfume. Still, it’s a decent pinot for the price and would fare quite well as a meal accompaniment.
Very enjoyable cab - 2004 Chatom Vineyards, Calaveras County, Cabernet Sauvignon
Very enjoyable cab with little if any herbaceous (green pepper) smells or tastes.
BIG merlot…. - 2006 Cameron Hughes, Lot 69, Calaveras County, Merlot
BIG merlot…. Medium purple to dark red in the glass. Full bodied with lots of fruit and complexity.. still evolving in the bottle.
