2003 J.Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon
(2007-05-20 05:41:57 UTC) buddy icon 2003 J.Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 82/100

Smooth beginning, with dry fruit and a peppery finish.

Too forward with a dry oak taste, but flattens and unfurls fruit in the body. Finishes remarkably smooth.

Dark fruit body, purple and thick. Oak shows, through, then some nice light flowery stuff, ending with a peppery note that turns bitter at the edges. Nice feeling in the mouth afterwards.

2004 Envero Apaltagua Apalta Vineyard
(2007-01-21 15:35:34 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Envero Apaltagua Apalta Vineyard 82/100

Blend of Carmenere and Cabernet Saviogon gives structure to a soft, fruity wine. Crowd favorite.

2004 Santa Ema Carmenére Barrel Select
(2007-01-21 11:40:09 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Santa Ema Carmenére Barrel Select 82/100

Great wine. Spicy finish, preceded by a full body of oak and black berry. Pleasing first taste.

2004 Casillero del Diablo Carmenere
(2007-01-21 11:34:43 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Casillero del Diablo Carmenere 82/100

Unfolds with more complexity than it's cheaper brother, Frontera. Lacks some structure, but still a pleasing finish.

Bright, bit forward, simple wine with a rough but not unpleasant finish.

2005 Joel Gott Syrah
(2007-01-19 14:20:50 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Joel Gott Syrah 82/100

Syrah is a comfort wine. This hits the spot with a plush blanket of understated but spiced berry flavors, lingering into oak and fading stately.

2004 Robert Mondavi Zinfandel
(2006-12-28 06:07:26 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Robert Mondavi Zinfandel 90/100

Much better than expected. Full of soft spice. Accommodating structure. Nicely accented with oak notes. The finish fades slowly.
