2002 St. Supery Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa)
I've found previous vintages of this wine at least agreeable in the past. This vintage/bottle came up waaay short. Thin and under fruited, with too much wood/oak for my palate. Also had a green-vegal component..grr.
2004 Dare Cabernet Franc, Napa
Produced by Viader. A big wine that left me pondering what food to pair this with. Nice deep color, full mouth feel with plenty of acids and tannins playing off the plummy/red fruit. Lingering finish. The wine sees some oak, but it is not over powering. Overall a nice (not great) wine that comes up just a bit short in the complexity arena to justify laying out $45 of 'Winger money.

I didn't make it to the J et R thingy. I try to do most of my drinking before noon . I've had the Frey-Sohler's in the past and agree they can be very nice even if a bit uneven across the portfolio. Plus, they're pocketbook friendly.
