My bday. Recollection only. No notes taken. 2006/09/03

Year	Wine	Price	Rating
2003	Paul Hobbs Cabernet, Napa Valley I like this the best although many experts seemed to like the Constant the best and this second. - so - ws	79.99	*****
2001	Constant Cabernet, Diamond Mountain Obviously very good, but has lost some of the floral flavor when compared to previous tastings (approx. 2 years back). - so - ws	69.99	*****
2002	Beaulieu Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet, Napa Valley With comparison to the previous two, this is a less complex wine. Still enjoyed the aromatic oak aroma tremendously. - so - ws	69.99	****½
2001	Beringer Marlston Vineyard Cabernet, Spring Mountain A little over oaked. But quite good. - so - ws	64.99	****½
1998	Fife Cabernet, Napa Valley The grapes are primarily from Spring Mountain. Very nicely aged. Flavorful and complex. Personally, I like young wines. But I can judge this as a very well done wine in a tough vintage - so - ws	30	****
2002	Sausal Cabernet, Alexander Valley Definitely a touch of green pepper. Of the left over wines (Fife, Mondavi and Sausal) this is the only one that held up for 24 hours without oxidization. Nice! - so - ws	29	****
2002	Robert Mondavi Cabernet, Stags Leap District Nice to have a cab from SLD. Nice touch. Not as good as previous tasting probably due to the competition today. - so - ws	29	***½
2004	Sea Smoke Southing Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills A very complex pinot noir. A beauty. - so - ws	45	****½
