The Wine Menu - Captain's List

Tignanello, Antinori, Tuscany, IT '07
Antinori's 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark
cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar mint and minerals.

Pahlmeyer Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa, CA '06
The wine is full-bodied, displaying sweet tannin, a concentrated mouthful, and a long heady finish
with substantial fruit, glycerin and extract. It should drink beautifully for 20+ years.

Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa, CA '06
Layered, rich, and full-bodied, the wine has an opaque purple color as well as wonderful purity and balance.
It's a beauty. As flawless and seamless as a 2006 Cabernet from Napa can be.
95 Points - Robert Parker

Dominus , Yountville, CA '08
The 2008 Dominus reveals an explosive nose of red and black fruits intermixed with notes of truffles,
earth, soil, forest floor and licorice. It shows outstanding density, richness a savory profile and enduring texture.

Quintessa, Proprietary Red Blend, Rutherford, CA '07
A very fine Cab from the estate. The flavors are extraordinary. They flood the mouth with the essence of Cabernet,
with ripe blackberries, black currants, raspberries and mocha, and the spicy finish lasts a full minute.

Porter Family Vineyards, Time, Napa
The best qualities of both young and aged Cabernet (2005 - 2007). Aromas of dried currants, and licorice,
floral notes of an English Garden: a medley of lavender, sage, thyme and a hint of violets.
On the palate it is brimming with flavors of wild berries, cassis, and pomegranate,
followed by savory notes of mocha, vanilla and round chewy tannins.
Only 24 cases produced.
bottle 225

ZD Abacus XII, Napa
A Solera style blend of ZD Reserve Cabaret for each vintage produced at the winery, 1992 - 2010! Beautiful wine.
Nice up front blackberries and black cherry, and some secondary licorice vanilla.
Only 200 cases produced.
