| | Wine Spectator rated it a 91. I tasted this @ the Winery & was NOT impressed @ all. I could Not give it any more than 85 (& that is stretching it). Anyone else tasted it? Just wondering if my TNs on it are more consistent with posters or WS is correct & I am "off" on this 1. Thank You. | | | |

| Sorry if this seems like 'clutter' - but you know my opinion on this winery (remember the '97 Cabernet TN I posted on WS?).
I think these wines are not worth purchasing. Frankly, I'd be surprised if the '99 was good. | | | |

| I do, absolutely. And, the other guy that gave me a "hard time" about that is Jones. And, I will stick to my guns that the '97 was a good bottles of Wine.
I tried the '98, nothing to write home about or here.
And, here is my view on the '99.
They went to (youknowwhat). | | | |

| | I haven't tasted the 99 but my gut reaction is that it is not worth purchasing. | | | |

| | It's NOT. And, the price is outrageous, $30.00 & up (I witnessed). HELLO????? I guess they are banking on the WS Rating. | | | |

| Yes, MudPuppy. Their Reserve was a really good Wine (in the good 'ol days). Even, a "WOW" for me on a few occasions.
But, I do Not know what happened to them. Ohhh, well.
Like I say, in a way, it is Good. You get to move on to some other Wines. And, discover some new things. That's the way I look @ it.
I, even, used to like their Chards also... | | | |
