Reviews
2006 Souverain Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 8-20-2010
This wine is a great daily drinking Cabernet Sauvignon. Clyde and I tasted this together and both felt this easily drinks like a wine double its modest price. Alexander Valley is a hot spot for great Cab values and this wine is definite proof of that. Great body and balance, this wine displays depth, power and concentration with dark red fruits and hints of chocolate & mocha. Smooth and a touch hedonistic this wine is surely a case-worthy acquisition.

2007 J. Bookwalter "Foreshadow" Washington Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 7-1-2010
I am continually amazed at the high-quality of Bordeaux-style wines coming out of the state of Washington. The 2007 Bookwalter Foreshadow Cabernet Sauvignon is another example of the heights that are being reached there, this wine is the perfect blend of luscious fruit and complexity thanks to its unique terroir. Sourcing roughly half of its fruit from the famed Klipsun and Ciel du Cheval vineyards this wine is packed with dense black fruits as well as fine tannins all of which wrapped themselves around the rich oak finish. If you're in the mood for something a bit different than the usual from California or Bordeaux then give this wonderful wine a try.

2007 Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 6-23-2010
This has traditionally been one of my go to wines, Honig has consistently fashioned some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon to come out of Napa Valley dollar-for-dollar. The 2007 is a stunning bottle offering up deep black plum & olive flavors as well as cedary notes. This wine has that tell-tale Rutherfod dust aromoa as well as a long, structured finish. Tasted blind this wine could easily pass for a $75+ Cabernet from napa Valley.

2007 Round Pond Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 6-17-2010
-I was lucky enough to be up in Napa Valley and had some time between appointments so I was able to taste the 2007 Round Pond Cabernet Sauvignon, what an outstanding wine! Tons of dark fruit, spice, mocha-laced oak accents and layers of complexity all building towards a long, smooth finish. This wine could easily pass for a $100+ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon so at its modest $44.99 price tag this wine is an absolute steal.
Top Value!
