Year	Wine	Price	Rating
2003	T-Vine Red, Napa Valley Started out with chalky tannin, softened quickly with concentrated boysenberry, mineral, "blood". A bit too metallic. - so - ws	44.99	***½
1997	Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet, Sonoma Pleasant and surprisingly bordeaux-like with cedar and tobacco. Flattened rather quickly - so - ws	19.99	***
2002	Archipel, Sonoma (Forgot to note down vintage, this may be 2001 or 2002). Bordeaux-like flavor profile: earth, cedar, blackberry, complex, spicy oak. I believe this is owned by Veritas (which is a way over-priced wine). The label is beautiful. - so - ws	32	****
