Aging California 7-14 Year

Keep in mind that many California wines are made to drink young although most will age no problem for 3 – 5 years, and more, depending on the varietal. If you decide to store several cases of a favorite vintage, be sure to test a bottle every 6 months to a year so a not to pass by the peak of perfection. Now the fun part, doing the research. You’ll need to start reading industry magazines and tasting to find wines that have potential to age well. Take for example a few notable California wines from the Napa Valley made from either 100% Cabernet grape, or a varietal, with the predominant grape being Cabernet.

Robert Mondavi

Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

It is hard to find a better value than the outstanding 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon.This sleeper of the vintage exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color as well as loads of cassis, blackberry, graphite, and cedar notes. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated with silky tannins and a lush, generous constitution, this beauty is capable of lasting 10-15 years.

Trefethen

Merlot

Napa Valley

Merlot

This Merlot begins with rich savory aromas of cherry, bay leaf, cedar, leather and spice. The weighted mid-palate brings lush flavors of ripe raspberry, smokey molasses, finishing with a lingering hint of black pepper. Rich and layered, this is a balanced wine that will continue to develop.

Ladera

Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

The least expensive effort, and a top value for a Napa Cabernet, is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa. A dark ruby/plum-colored blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec, it offers up notes of plums, cassis and blue fruits, silky tannins, a fleshy, ripe style and not a hard edge to be found. This impressive effort is the type of Cabernet Sauvignon that normally costs 2-3 times the price. Drinkable now, this sleeper of the vintage will age for a decade or more. The highly respected Karen Culler is the winemaker for Ladera, who have produced a trifecta of delicious 2007s." (Dec. 2010)

Beaulieu Vineyard

Napa Valley

Tapestry Meritage Red

Bordeaux Blend

Dec 2009 Robert Parker 93 Drink: 2009 - 2024 $45 (50) The 2006 Proprietary Red Wine Tapestry Reserve (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot) is the finest example of this cuvee I have ever tasted. Flowery, licorice-infused, cassis notes intermixed with forest floor and lead pencil shavings are followed by a layered, impressively built wine with real opulence, lots of red and black fruits, low acidity, and lush tannin. It should drink well for 15+ years. One of the most dramatic revelations in my California North Coast tastings was the resurrection/renaissance of Beaulieu Vineyard, one of the historic names in California winedom. This was the source of some extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignons in the fifties, sixties, and early seventies, but the winery fell on hard times and was sold (it is now owned by the gigantic Diageo company). However, they have come back with a vengeance over the last few vintages. Michel Rolland, the brilliant wine consultant, was brought in to help resurrect the Private Reserve program, and it appears his magic has spilled over onto the other wines as well.

Keenan

Spring Mountain

Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, a sleeper of the vintage, exhibits a dense ruby/purple hue along with plenty of crushed rock, black currant, black raspberry, white chocolate, and earth characteristics. A supple texture, beautiful concentration, and a long finish suggest it will continue to drink well for 15-16 years.

2007

Silverado

Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, is excellent. Dark ruby/purple, with notes of chocolate, cassis, espresso roast, and some underbrush, the wine is attractive, rich, medium-bodied, and while tannic, not excessively so, as some 2006s have tended to be. This wine should drink well for 10-15 years." (12/09)

Pinot Noir

Sonoma Coast

Pinot Noir

Deep dark garnet in color with brilliant purple highlights. Seductive aromas of black cherry, Oolong tea, wild berry and slightly brambly fruit with spicy aromas of nutmeg and cardamom as the highlights of a complex and elegant nose. Our 2008 Pinot Noir is ripe, plush and full-bodied with the highly desirable structure and texture that consistently provide this Sonoma Coast offering with a refined and compelling presence on the palate. Offering ripe Bing cherry, rich plum and pomegranate flavors along with lively natural acidity on the palate with well-integrated oak and tannins, this wine has a delightfully long finish.

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Cabernet Sauvignon

"Firm, intense, concentrated and well-structured, with tight dried currant, cedar, dried herb and sage flavors. Full-bodied, gaining depth and range on the finish before the tannins take hold. Best from 2011 through 2020."

Cain

Concept

Napa Valley

Bordeaux Blend

Opening the 2005 Cain Concept, you will be struck by the absolute generosity and richness of this wine. You will need time to cut through all the chocolate and cacoa powder. With patience, you will find notes of coffee, tea, and raspberry eau de vie, which the French call framboise. The wine has a solid structure but is nicely polished. It tastes great today but it will be good to go for another 10 to 20 years.

Joseph Drouhin

Vosne-Romanee

Pinot Noir

Supreme elegance! Beautiful colour, with intense and bright reflections. The diversity of the aromas is striking: wild cherry, nutmeg, camphor wood, fine leather...Later on, the wine takes on a subtle aroma of truffle, producing the most varied palette. With its perfect balance between tannin and acidity, the wine has a fleshy, sturdy body. Powerful and long aftertaste. A wealth of harmonious sensations characterizes this great Burgundy."
