  • 2001 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 96 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    This was absolutely amazing. Tasted blind alongside 14 other great wines. This won its flight easily and was probably #2 overall.
    Deep, rich, creamy, hits big everywhere in the mouth and a long, long finish. Perfect time to drink this, but then again still seems to have lots of life left.

  • 1992 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon 94 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District

    Blind tasting. ID'ed this an old napa cab.
    The incredible nose was it for me - all over the place, so interesting - earthy, fruity, layered and rich, complexity to spare.
    Unfortunately, it was a bit thin and showing its age on the palate.
    Still, quite enjoyable and the nose was a real treat.

    USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains

    Popped & poured. Would have expected more from this - tasted blind and it did not show well against others in its flight. Some nice smoky aromas but the palate faded rather quickly with some sour/ tangy flavors. still fairly tannic. Not sure what went wrong here.
