  1. '01 Private Reserve is stuffed but balanced, with beautiful fruit and some grip still on the finish. Tasted next to 01 Schrader, I preferred this, even though I brought Schrader. 😄

    The styles of this and the Schrader were very different, Schrader showing more finesse, this more depth. And beautifully balanced, opulence tamped down a bit thanks to age, perfectly integrated.

    Overall, this super CabSauv is holding brilliantly. 14.2% alc. New vintages, about $175

  2. The '01 Beckstoffer from Schrader is an elegant Cab with finesse, silky texture and lifted fruit. Tasted next to a Beringer Private Reserve 01, this was leaner, but perhaps livelier and with subtler concentration. I confess to liking the Beringer a bit better, but this is no slouch, as it is beautifully crafted

    14.8% alcohol. I don't know what this older bottle might go for, but new vintages are likely $300+. Yeah, it's a trophy. Not buying, not throwing away!

  8. #saturday #dinner Pan-seared lamb chops with Lebanese spice served with oven-roasted balsamic-garlic cauliflower, mushrooms & sweet onions tossed in a sun-dried tomato, shallot & white wine jus over a cream Parmesan polenta.
    #wine pairing is a stellar #tuscany red blend of #sangiovese & #cabernetsauvignon offering a restrained collection of strawberry, raspberry & grilled peach fruit flavors riding over earthy anise & spicy oak notes. 😋😋😋
