All of these wines were purchased from their amazing list.
2007 Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru - USA, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena (12/7/2010)
Dark black cherry and blueberry fruit ooze down the side of your mouth with a vanilla chaser. Just a really fun young wine to drink. (92 points)
2008 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Southing - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Rita Hills - Sta. Rita Hills (12/7/2010)
Bowl of cherries and baking spices. Pine needles and a nice sweet oak. Smooth finish. (92 points)
2007 Tor Cabernet Sauvignon Kenward Family Wine Cimarossa Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain (12/7/2010)
Very enjoyable. Mostly cherries/plum and a backdrop of loam. The oak was pretty substantial and I hope it will become more integrated. Big mouth feel. Just rough around the edges and finish is still a bit tight. We popped and poured. This may act better with some air. (91 points)
2006 Aubert Pinot Noir UV Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (12/7/2010)
This wine has strawberry fruit and ample oak but is somewhat hot and disjointed at the time. I think that the fruit will overcome some of the other issues with time but it did not hold up to the 2008 Sea Smoke Southing. Heat and alcohol were abundant on finish. (88 points)
