Sequoia Grove Vineyards-Cabernet Sauvignon-Napa Valley-California-2005-$29.99-A nose of dark fruit and tar, dark ruby in color. A smooth Cab, was a little disappointed that it did not have the fullness as previous vintages that I have had. Currants, spice, chocolate, oak is integrated, dry finish, a solid Cab just not great. WS-83 WE-93 CR-4 Good with steak, chicken, pasta.
Fattoria Casa Di Terra-Terratico Di Bibbona-Poggio Querciolo-Italy-2006-$29.98-A nose of dark fruit and coffee, beautiful amber color. A smooth, full bodied blend, black and blueberries, nice use of oak, with a nice polished finish, a special wine. WS-93 CR-4.5 Good with meats, pasta, cheeses.
