4/6/2024 - rmcnees wrote: 91 pointsAt twenty-two years, the fill level, label, foil and cork were in perfect pristine condition. Still life, in the drinking window, but will undoubtably start to diminish from here forward so best to drink in the next year or so. |

2007 Dan Aykroyd Cabernet Sauvignon Discovery SeriesSonoma County more |
1/31/2024 - rmcnees wrote: 83 pointsFound this 'novelty' wine buried in my cellar. This exceeded my expectations, which admittedly were very low. I was open minded and opened it prepared to dump it, but while simple and uninspiring, it was okay for casual sipping with some cheeses before dinner. Actually served at a dinner party and several guests, albeit not our wine group, found it enjoyable and suitable, even when offered several options. |

2018 Grgich Hills Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |

Still young at five years, this might benefit from a little more time to settle and integrate. |
