Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 - 91pts
|
|
Price: $34.99
|
|
|
 
A Cabernet Sauvignon that is beautifully balanced and drinkable when young, just as it is beautifully balanced and drinkable when old. We believe, and hopefully you will see, that wines that are built to impress rather than satisfy typically do neither.

Cakebread Cellars Dancing Bear Ranch 2009 - 93pts

Price: $88.98
|
|
|
The 2008 Dancing Bear delights the senses with heady, deeply concentrated and wonderfully complex aromas of black plum, crushed boysenberry, ripe olallieberry, fig, earth, baking spices and chocolate. On the dense, weighty palate, the wine delivers intense, mouthfilling, blackberry, black cherry, boysenberry and forest-floor spice flavors supported by supple, chewy tannins and a long, mouth-coating finish enriched by dark chocolate and toasted oak tones. Big and youthful with layers of intensely concentrated flavors, this dramatic mountain red drinks well now, but it will continue to evolve and become complex in bottle over the next decade.

Paso Creek Zinfandel 2009
|
|
Price: $14.86
|
|
|
Soils are arid and rocky at best. Rain is incredibly rare. But the diurnal temperature swings are the real story. The abundant summer sun, along with heat that can hit the hundreds, gives the fruit the time necessary for massive flavor development. Then, like clockwork most every evening, the fog funnels in from the Pacific Ocean through the Templeton Gap. Temperatures at night can drop as much as 60 degrees. And that's how the grapes get their signature structure, snappy acidity, and tranquil tannins.

Don Melchor Vintage 21 Concha Y Toro Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - 93pts
|
|
Price: $77.98
|
|
|
Deep cherry-red.
Intense and complex, with very evenly ripe fruit and pronounced blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant aromas that meld with notes of fine chocolate and tobacco.
Big-bodied, well-structured, and nicely concentrated, with good balance and elegance. The degree of ripeness and quality of the tannins is a firm reminder of the personality of the Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto.
