2007 Layer Cake Cabernet, Napa Valley. $24.99. **½
Severely overpriced. This is a venture by Jayson Woodbrige, owner of cult winery Hundred Acre. Strong Australian like jamminess, fat, big, flat, blackberry jam, herbs, generic ripe Cal Cab. - so - ws

2005 Chateau Bois Chantant, Bordeaux. $13.95. ****
K&L Wine Club Shipment. What a surprise. This non-specific Bordeaux wine tastes like a $40 St. Emilion. Made by internationally famous wine consultant Michel Rolland's team. New world, plum, cedar, tobacco, pencil lead, slightly meaty, very fragrant, toasty, very interesting, soft and chalky, hence lacking aging structure, but peak in 1 hour and very enjoyable. Must buy again to check for consistency. - so - ws
