2018	David Arthur	Cabernet Sauvignon Elevation 1147	The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Elevation 1147 has a bit more mid-palate sweetness than the Old Vine that gives it a real sense of plushness and textural resonance. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, spice and sweet tobacco meld into the creamy, layered finish. Today, the Elevation offers a more overt style than the Old Vine, although it, too, has plenty of structure.	Vinous	92-95		2020-01-17
2018	David Arthur	Cabernet Sauvignon Three Acre	The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Three Acre opens up beautifully in the glass. Ample, creamy and resonant, the Three Acre is decidedly somber. Black cherry, plum, spice, licorice and menthol all flesh out effortlessly. In 2018, the Three Acre is decidedly powerful, with notable energy and tons of personality.	Vinous	90-93		2020-01-17
2017	David Arthur	Cabernet Sauvignon Elevation 1147	The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Elevation 1147 is one of the most intriguing wines I have tasted at David Arthur in some time. Intensely perfumed and expansive on the palate, the Elevation 1147 captures all the best the vintage had to give. The 2017 is powerful and rich, while retaining the classic sense of structure that is such a David Arthur signature.	Vinous	95		2020-01-17
2017	David Arthur	Cabernet Sauvignon Three Acre	The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Three Acre is bright and perfumed, with striking top notes and tons of energy. Freshly cut flowers, mint, spice, cedar and new leather give the 2017 a real sense of aromatic lift and punch. This is a Cabernet that will benefit from a few years in bottle. In the early going, the Three Acre is very pretty, even if it comes across as a bit nervous in feel. That is likely the result of some blocked ripening in the estate's younger Cabernets.

2017	Keenan Winery	Mernet	The 2017 Red Blend Mernet Reserve is deep, fleshy and wonderfully seductive, with soft fruit, silky contours and open-knit aromatics - all of which make the 2017 a real pleasure to taste today.	Vinous	93		2020-01-17
2017	Keenan Winery	Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Spring Mtn District	Keenan's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is deep, layered and super-expressive. Black plum, licorice, chocolate, grilled herbs and cloves give the 2017 a distinctly dark profile to match its brooding personality. The 2017 offers terrific depth, but the tannins are a bit rough at this stage and will need time to soften.	Vinous	94+		2020-01-17
2017	Keenan Winery	Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard	The 2017 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard shows sweet dark cherry, lavender, spice, tobacco and grilled herbs. It is darker and richer next to the straight Merlot. Translucent and expressive, the 2017 will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is a very classic style.	Vinous	92		2020-01-17
2015	Marziano Abbona	Barolo DOCG	A wide swath of plum, cherry, tar, licorice and underbrush flavors is punctuated by bracing acidity and stiff tannins. Hangs together nicely in the end, suggesting this should develop well. Best from 2023 through 2045. 1,110 cases made, 375 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	92		2020-01-16
2016	Perusini	Cabernet Sauvignon	Moderately saturated ruby. Aromas and flavors of dark fruit, cedar, graphite and minerals. Clean, fresh and rather politely-styled for a Cabernet Sauvignon from FVG, this finishes long and lively. Refined and offering good mid-palate fat already, but a few years in the cellar will help it expand further. This is really quite good.	Vinous	91		2020-01-13
2016	Perusini	Cabernet Franc	Luminous red-ruby. Strawberry, cedar, black pepper and violet on the nose and in the mouth. Light and lively but blessed with sneaky concentration and impeccable acid-fruit-tannin balance, this closes long and perfumed. Not a behemoth but nuanced and scented. A lovely Cabernet Franc that offers early appeal and accessibility.	Vinous	90		2020-01-13
