Bighorn Cellars 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California

Bighorn Cellars 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California

tasting Notes: Bill Hill moved to Napa Valley in 1974 and made a career of finding and developing vineyard sites that had the potential to make great wine - in 1996 he was even recognized by Wine Spectator for his contributions in elevating the quality of wine worldwide. After selling his original winery, he decided he couldn't stay away, and in 1994 he founded Bighorn Cellars, devoted to making limited qualities of top-notch Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Coombsville Vineyard wine is classic Napa Cabernet: rich and lush, with tons of dark fruit and touches of milk chocolate. It's very silky on the palate, with gentle tannins.

Amethyst Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

tasting Notes: Winemaker Larry Brooks found his way into the California wine scene when his studies at UC Davis found him housed in the same building as the Enology Department, but it was Acacia's Mike Richmond who truly brought him in to the fold. After almost twenty years there and stints at Chalone and Echelon, he and Richmond launched a joint project, Amethyst; their Cabernet Sauvignon is full and rich, with a good mix of fruit and spice aromas. Look for cassis, plum, slate, and cedar notes, plus a touch of licorice on the palate.
