  1. I should have a drum roll for last bottle moments. 🥁 A few years after Blankiet's founding, this 2001 vintage, with winemaker Helen Turley, helped make a new Napa cult. All Cab Sauv, it has held beautifully, years left.

    Solid in the mid-palate, it shows the benefits of age. If not young and fruity, it has the subtler concentration of more nuanced fruit.

    Velvety, tasty, classy and in a perfect moment, a Last Bottle Victory. 🤗 $175 then.

  2. @moredread Ah, good to know. Here the #Chilean & #Argentine #wines have filled the gap where the #California wines were.

    There are options - decent #Malbec or #Cabernet for $11-15. As good as JLohr and other Central Coast & #Mendocino wines that go for $20-25.

  4. These Classic Napa Wines Keep Getting Better, Yet Remain Great Values

    There are a lot of good reasons why wines from the Napa Valley are so prized getty I first tasted the wines from Sequoia Grove in Napa in 1989 and it was love at first sip. There is probably no oth…

  5. Labor Day was fruitful. :) This wasn't hard work at all.

    A sexy vintage for Seavey, this 2001 is fruit forward now, concentrated and a little unctuous, relatively, not quite as powerful as some, but maybe richer. Still, it's Seavey and that means it opens, evolves, gets tighter and shows a backbone to support beautiful fruit. Don't forget velvety texture. Yeah, baby.

    This won't be my last note on this lovely '01. 
    14.1% alcohol, about $75 then.

  6. An iconic label, this year is mature, but still lively and bright, with a nicely aged Bordeaux feel to it in its medley of aromas and flavors.

    A touch of cassis up front is countered by more mature nuances and complexity. The whole comes together beautifully, improving with air and lingering nicely on the lifted, elegant finish. It kept getting better. 13.4%.

    Newer years, around $275, gulp? This 2000 might not cost much more if you find it somewhere.

  7. 2/2

    From winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett, whose star turns have included Screaming Eagle, Grace Family, Dalla Valle and others.

    Trivia bonus: her husband was Bo Barrett of Chateau Montelena fame, making this one of Napa's most famous power couples.

  9. 🧛‍♀️ NEW REVIEW: Cabernet delivers a refreshingly thoughtful take on vampire fiction, focusing on the psychological toll of immortality rather than just the power fantasy.

    With excellent voice acting (including Brian David Gilbert!), meaningful choices, and Victorian atmosphere thick enough to cut with fangs, it's a standout in narrative gaming.

    4/5 Waffles - Worth sinking your teeth into.

  12. Posted on this before, but it's been awhile. Bottles differ and time matters as wines age. So, let's go!

    Great cork.No surprise,this is increasingly lovely with air, a little tight on the finish, ripe fruit and velvety texture. I wasn't so sure about this around 10+ years back compared to other years, but it has come around brilliantly. Of course, now that it seems perfect, I sampled so many over the years that I don't have much left. 😢 But at least I have a track record! #wine #napa #cabernet

  14. I have and had a lot of vintages of Seavey, and I've often been less impressed with the 02 than some (that's relative!), but this bottle sure shows great. Deep, concentrated and powerful, it has plenty of pop on the finish, classic cassis nuances and relative youth. Intense and concentrated. About $60 then. Impressive. #wine #napa #cabernet

  15. #Cabernet is the most popular red #wine in the #US Can it endure #climatechange?
    Rising temperatures are threatening the future of #NapaValley's prized #cabernetsauvignon, forcing #winemakers to adapt to increasingly severe #heatwaves. Some vineyards are experimenting with heat-tolerant #grape varieties to blend with cabernet, while others are investing in cooling technologies.npr.org/2024/09/09/nx-s1-50020

  16. Inspecting this morning's Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon in Jeff's vineyard. These are all shipping to wineries back east. Quality looking good!

  18. Why is it so hard to find Cabernet Franc in New England? I first tried it in the Maritimes, and then I found some at a winery in the Finger Lakes region. Wikipedia says it’s one of the twenty most popular styles worldwide. Apparently not near me! It’s not my favorite, but I will say it’s underrated. Heavy on deep grape and black currant, with notes of white or black pepper (I’m not a super-taster).

  21. I am cooking dinner so I needed some company 2015 Schrader Cellars CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark jammy fruit on the nose with a hint of leather on the nose, with currants, earth, and more leather on the palate. Nice finish. I will give the other bottles of this a few more years in the cellar but I will decant the rest of the bottle. @SierraWineGuy #wine #schrader #tokalon #Becktoffer #Napa #Cab #cabernet
