@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind. 5 reds tonight. 5 Bonds. Insane. I’m not going to try and evaluate each one as if they were crazy different because honestly, I found it fairly easy to determine all were from the same producer. That being said, I guessed all 5 reds were from the same producer and waffled between a horizontal or vertical...I ultimately chose vertical (which was wrong). I guessed all were Napa cabs. To me, this tastes the oldest, so I guessed this was an ‘09 (beginning of a 5 yr vertical). Lots of dusty red and black fruit. This was the most mellow.

Solid bottle of California Cab. Absolutely not worth the price of admission.

A classic Harlan-style Cabernet that was definitely in its prime!

A dark blackberry color. The nose is full with currants and cassis with earthy, cedar and coffee aromas. Tastes of red fruit, cedar and coffee with a spice, coffee and chocolate finish . A night before Mother’s day and day after son’s 16th b-day celebration.

Decanted 1 hour(decent chunky sediment). An irresistible dark inky/red color after all these years. Pritchard hill wine, Napa. On the nose: herbs, oak, cassis, earthy. Taste: red fruit, cassis, meaty, cedar, coffee.....some alcohol not fully integrated, slight bitter but smooth tannin at the end....decent long finish
