2005 Santa Ema Amplus Cabernet Sauvignon Cachapoal Valley
$ 17.99"Santa Ema seems to be striving for the ripest possible style they can get, and along the way they have found that while also losing some elegance. It starts with sweet, jammy aromas that are not far from melted red licorice. The palate is saturated with berry flavors, while the feel is thick but slightly flat. Could use more edge and compexity, but on the plus side itÂ’s lush and pleasant." 88 points - Wine Enthusiast, December 31, 2008
2005 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Napa Valley
$ 24.99"Here is proof that not all classic Cabernets from Napa come with three-digit price tags. For, while this one is not as compelling as its mate, it is going to provide more early drinking pleasure, and the keen focus to its fruit and the rich, milk chocolate and ripe cherry sweetness tinged with hints of loam and sassafras in its flavors are precise portrayals of Napa Valley Cabernet in its most inviting guise. Nothing at this price compares. GOOD VALUE." 90 points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, August 2008 "Medium crimson hue. Scents of dark chocolate and light cherry. Pleasing peppery flavors that accompany combed tannins with sweet maple accents. Black fruit rings on a clean close with a slight drying component." 91 points - The Wine News, Oct/Nov 2008
2005 Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
$ 26.99"The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (10,582 cases) is an outstanding value in Napa Cabernet. With prices on almost every Napa Cabernet now well in excess of $50.00, a $35.00 wine that merits 90 points is big news. Deep ruby purple in color with loads of licorice, black currant, cedar, and spice, this wine has beautiful texture, medium to full body, and a heady finish. The velvety texture and opulence of the wine speak to drinking it over the next 10-15 years." 90 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 180 "Supple red cherry flavors more than match the oak influence of this wine, which deepens those flavors to chocolate richness. It finishes on a savory note. For roast lamb." 91 points - Wine & Spirits, December 2008
