  Carmenet Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast Dynamite 1997

  Snoothrank:

  Inky dark in the glass--pretty much opaque. Smoky, oaky nose. Very nice on the tip of the tongue--slight hints of berry fruit, but also quite mellow. Initial sensation is very refreshing for a cab. Now I'm getting a bit of a cherry thing. Still lots of tannin on the back of the palate. Finish reprises the cherry sensation briefly, but then... Read More

  Carmenet Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain Reserve 1999

  Snoothrank:

  Garnet color, slightly murky in the glass. Sprighly initial nose, followed by woody, viney sensations. Medium bodied on the palate fairly smooth. Diminished tannins. Some oak. Opens up after 20-30 minutes of air. Minty, cherry flavors with oak. This wine may be past its peak. US$41.99 in 2002. Read More

Thanks, and really appreciate any advice.  This might not be wh... Read More

  Carmenet Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

  Snoothrank:

  I stumbled upon this wine in 2000, and went back to purchase a case. Don't let the price tag fool you. It's one of the finest cabs I've ever had. Read More

  Carmenet Vin de Garde Reserve Selection 1991

  Snoothrank:

  An awesome nose with deep cassis fruit touched with roasted green chile, tobacco, oak and a still whiff of vanilla. Big and powerful in the mouth with small, dark berried fruit and layers of spice tones that carry a bit of heat with them, giving them a bit of a peppery edge. This remains a big wine and, in some ways, recalls 1986 Bordeaux. 91pts Read More
