Ray's Station Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

“The Monticello Jefferson Cuvee is one of my favorite wines to blend each year as it typically incorporates so many different lots into the final cuvee. At the blending table, it is not uncommon for us to be working with 15-20 individual lots from 5 different vineyard sites. It’s a nice mix of dark berry aromas with hints of clove and nutmeg in the background. The delicious 2008 blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Syrah is big and full bodied with a rich core and moderate tannins which help to frame the wine and will help support the wine through may years of graceful aging. I’m enjoying this wine now and feel that it will age well through 2019, perhaps longer.” Chris Corley, Winemaker.

Forman 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The Forman 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley got some tremendous scores! “The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate may be one of Ric Forman’s finest wines to date (keep in mind he was producing some of the great Sterling Cabernet Sauvignons of the early 1970s). The 2007 is a slightly more voluptuous, flamboyant, and exuberant version of the 2006. The color is a healthy dense purple, and the bouquet reveals plenty of creme de cassis, licorice, wood smoke, and forest floor notes, a soaring, multidimensional, velvety, full-bodied texture, and ripe tannins. The sweetness of the tannins and the wine’s lush, heady texture are reminiscent of a ripe Pomerol. It will evolve over two decades.” 95 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!!

Cain Cuvee NV6, Napa Valley

After more than fifteen years of development, Cain Cuvée has come of age! The folks at Cain have created a refreshing, vibrant cabernet blend that pleases the palate with plenty of complexity to stimulate the senses. Cuvée is the most eclectic of their three blends – not limited to a particular varietal formula. In this release, Merlot is present in the largest proportion while, collectively, the two Cabernets make up a slight majority. Finally, a dollop of Petit Verdot completes the blend.. This supple, generous wine is built for pleasure— your pleasure at the table with a good friend or two with whom to share the bottle. This delightful wine contains fruit grown in the heart of the Napa Valley and from historic “benchland” vineyards at the foot of the mountains. These grapes provide the base of the blend and roundness to the body. Then, being Cain, they work with grapes grown in the cooler climes and poorer soils of the mountains, including wonderful grapes grown in our neighborhood on Spring Mountain and high atop Atlas Peak. These grapes contribute “backbone” to the structure and the lovely top-notes to the bouquet. The result is a Cabernet Blend that is truly unique, unlike any other from the Napa Valley

Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2004, Sonoma Mountain

The vintage began with an early budbreak, on March 8, a full ten days prior to our average, and ended right about on schedule, with picking beginning in the fourth week of September and extending over a couple of weeks. The early start to the growing season afforded a long and even maturation of the fruit, and only a late-season heat wave in the third week interrupted the steady flavor development. The 2004 vintage has more in common with the subtle and complex 1996 and 1999 vintages, than with its more up front 1994 and 2002 stable mates. It is typically dark, with a dense core; very perfumed with lovely briar, dark berry, and sandalwood aromas; on the palate it is rich and voluptuous without being cloying or obvious, and reveals itself slowly. Decanting is recommended!

Elyse Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, Morisoli Vineyard, Napa Valley

Once again, the Morisoli Vineyard shows its characteristic power and elegance with complex layers of ripe, mature fruit flavors and hints of earth with graceful acidity and balance. Enjoy this with rich meat dishes and cheese. Drinking beautifully right now, this wine will age for at least 7 – 12 years.
