Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
93/100 - Wine Advocate. (12/2015) " A stunning Cabernet Sauvignon and a classic example of Napa viticulture. Terrific fruit on the attack and mid-palate, a full-bodied mouth feel, no hard edges and a luscious, opulent, gorgeously pure style drink: 2016 - 2031" (California)

Clos du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
95+/100 - Vinous, Antonio Galloni. (10/2015) "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is striking. Powerful and dense in the glass, with utterly mesmerizing balance, the 2013 hits all the right spots. Graphite, smoke, grilled herbs, black cherries and incense form a tapestry of aromas and flavors that simply dazzles. The 2013 needs time in bottle for the tannins to soften, but it is a real head-turner" (California)

Stonestreet Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
94/100 - Wine Advocate. (12/2014) " A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Malbec aged 17 months in 30% new French oak. There are 5,350 cases of this superb Cabernet Sauvignon, which has 15-20 years of evolution ahead of it." (California)

Chappellet "Mountain Cuvee" Napa Valley Proprietary Red 2013
91/100 - Our Score. (1/2016) A blend of 43% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petite Verdot, 7% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc. The flavors are full and deep with dark red and black fruits leading the way, followed by mocha, cedar and milk chocolate. The palate is round and the tannins soft. (California)

The Fableist "Fable 373" Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
90/100 - Our Score. (1/2016) This powerful Cabernet (75%) Merlot (11%) Tempranillo (10%) and Malbec (4%) blend tells the story of a massive wine that California red blend lovers will really love. A collaborative bottling from Curt Schalchlin (Sans Liege) and Andrew Jones (Wonderwall), the Fableist gives a deep ruby purple color, dark fruit flavors and a long, happy ending. (California)

Obsidian Ridge "Obsidian Ridge Vineyard" Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
92+/100 - Our Score. (3/2016) Rich and full in the mouth with blueberry and blackberry flavors shining through with some smoke, oak, spice and that licorice adding complexity. The layers of flavor last for minutes! Winemaker, and Vin Chicago alum, Alex Beloz added a touch of Petite Verdot for aromatic complexity. Drinking great now and will only get better over the next five years and beyond! (California)
