Cabernet Sauvignon

Cono Sur
Valle Central
Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 . . . . . 7.99
87/100 - Our score.
87/100 - International Wine Cellar. “Deep ruby. Spicy red and dark berry aromas become deeper with air, picking up plum and dark chocolate elements. Full and round, offering dark fruit flavors, chewy texture and good finishing sweetness. Betrays a touch of warmth on the back end, but otherwise tasty and a fine value.” (Chile)

Viña Santa Rita
“Medalla Real Special Reserve”
Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 . . . . . 14.99
91/100 - Wine Spectator. “Broad-shouldered, with lots of tobacco, currant paste and loam notes backed by a muscular structure. The dark, dense finish shows hints of cedar and roasted vanilla. Has lots of Pauillac-like grip. A terrific value. Drink now through 2014.” (Chile)

Buehler
Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 . . . . . 21.99
90/100 - Wine Spectator. “Well-proportioned, with a mix of spicy currant, blackberry, cedar and mineral notes, picking up a hint of anise on the finish. Ends with a long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2013.” (California)

Robert Keenan
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 . . . . . 41.99
92/100 - Wine Advocate. “Classic aromas of cedar, black currants, licorice, graphite, and spicy oak emerge from the full-bodied, powerful, opulent, opaque purple-colored 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon. This concentrated, rich, impressively-endowed Cabernet is a steal for the price. Moreover, it should drink well for 15 or more years.” (California)

Darioush
“Signature”
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 . . . . . 69.99
93/100 - Connoisseurs’ Guide. “Once again, Darioush races to the top of the listings with a big, rich, hedonistically over achieving Cabernet, but unlike last year’s 3 star winner, this one is somewhat tighter and age-demanding than its predecessor. It is in the nature of the 2005 vintage that it seems to produce somewhat less lush, plush wines, and there are those who will applaud and those who will miss the genuine juiciness of Darioush’s 2004. Because this wine seems to have a foot in two camps, we see more to like in the 2004, but there is no reason not to like this one as well.” (California)
