2005 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate
4/28/2024 - wconnolly Likes this wine: 91 Points
Typical Montelena, robust, earthy, complex. Opens with notes of raspberry, sour cherry and plum. Additional earthy notes, chocolate and coffee on the mid palate. A lingering finish and moderate, nicely integrated tannins. The 2005 ( and this is my third bottle) is and always has been a bit subdued compared to other vintages but high quality none the less.

2011 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow
4/27/2024 - wconnolly Likes this wine: 90 Points
Very nice. Dark cerise color in the glass. Slightly earthy aroma. Blackberry, cassis, plum, leather and a hint of cedar on the palate. More fruit forward than previous vintages I have tasted but was a wonderful follow on to an '18 Pape Clement at an extensive wine dinner with friends.

2013 Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder
4/26/2024 - wconnolly Likes this wine: 92 Points
Great color. Good clarity. Black and blue fruit on the palate. One of the bigger, powerful, brooding Veeders that I have had. Nicely balanced with ample tannins and a long lingering finish.
