2006 Petite Sirah ($43)
...from The WINE ENTHUSIAST:
93 POINTS This is a very Cabernet-like Petite Sirah. It’s full-bodied, dry and balanced, with moderate alcohol and not a huge amount of over-extracted fruit. Enriched with 50% new oak it has rich flavors of cassis Cherries, cocoa and pepper, in a fleshy texture. Highly recommended.
2005 Maxine’s Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Yountville Appellation ($60)
...from The WINE ENTHUSIAST:
87 POINTS Rich and flavorful, this Cabernet has jammy flavors of cassis, cherries, milk chocolate, licorice and vanilla. The wine is almost sweet and very soft in structure, the kind of Cab that adheres to today’s cult parameters. Drink now through 2010. Recommended.
...from The San Francisco Chronicle:
Tom Bardessono's family has been growing grapes in Yountville for decades, and this vineyard is named for his mother, who still resides there. Lots of big, ripe fruit, with an inviting nose highlighted by cocoa, graphite and dust. Lighter cassis and deeper plummy notes provide a full palate defined by equally ripe tannin. Subtle for its notably deep-fruited style.
2004 Maxine’s Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Yountville Appellation
My mother’s name is Maxine and this wine is produced from the vineyard next to her house in Yountville. This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is dark purple in color, earthy and rich. The flavors of dark ripe fruit, intense but silky tannins and a rich mixture of French Oak flavors will invite you back for another taste. This wine is truly outstanding and will age well for 10 or more years. Only 60 cases produced with annual production to stay at 150 to 200 cases. $60.00 per bottle
2004 Bardessono Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
(Yountville 64%/ Atlas Peak36%)
This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and purple black in color. This intense, delicious wine tastes of dark fruit and spice then ends with a long finish. This wine has silky tannin and aromatic nose that has an excellent balance and mouth feel to enhance any culinary experience. This is a very drinkable wine now but will age gracefully for 10 years or more. $45.00 per bottle
