May 2013
Sweet lavender and violet nose with currant and dark loamy soil. Blackberry juice. On the palate, luscious fruit showing. Rich and polished with nice cassis, kirsch and black cherry flavors. Dry. Nicely balanced and I think can keep aging. Grippy tannins with pretty fruit and good minerality. Big wine. 90 pts.5/10/1 at winery Read More

Very tight nose with aromas of currant and cassis. Anise, licorice and cassis up front on the palate. Also, flavors of blackberry. Big tannin and acid. Very tight and dry. Black plum notes, maduro tobacco, tar and ink. Definitely needs time. It's huge, tight and dark. 88 pts.5/10/13 at winery Read More

Nose of currant, cherry and other red fruits. Hints of camphor. Lots of kirsch. Nice mineral edge to it. Floral and feminine style with great balance and a lighter structure. Pretty red berry fruit and lavender. Finish is a touch tart, but should round out with a bit more age in bottle. 88 pts.5/10/13 at winery Read More

Great perfume! Rich red currant nose, noble and elegant. On the palate it's rich and luscious, dominated by red berry fruit. Flavors of red and black wild berry and currant. Big acid and tannin, so needs time as this even came from a decanter. Great structure to age nicely.90 pts.5/9/13 at winery Read More

Rich red, pretty and feminine style fruit on the nose. Sweet red berries fill the aromas in addition to nice floral notes. Fruit forward in style as age has relaxed the tannin and acid a bit. Luscious and rich, dominated by red fruit. Raspberry, currant and cherry flavors with nice vanilla influence. Soft, rounded tannins. It's in a lovely... Read More

I have a few bottles of 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Sonoma Valley, Christine Vineyards. They were made for a Private Label Collection. I would love to know more about this wine.
