Levendi Estates-Cabernet Sauvignon-Stagecoach Vineyard-Napa Valley-California-2005-$38.99-A nose of dark fruit and cassis, dark purple in color. A big full bodied single vineyard Cab, with blackberry, cassis, currants, vanilla and minerals, did not decant long enough to get profile. This is still a young wine that needs a very long decant or more time in the cellar. WS-88 CR-90 Good with steak, chicken, ribs.
A. F. Arco Iris-Ona –Anakena-Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenere-Syrah-Rapel Valley-Chile-2008-$13.93-A nose of dark fruit and earth, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied blend, with blackberries, spice and earth, a bit austere, nothing special. WE-91 CR-86 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
