Wines that Match My Preferences?

csquared78Member

I hope everyone here had a great Xmas and New Years ... I'm certain I'm not the first to say "2009 goes better with Wine"

Here's my query:

I love Caymus Cabernet (both the regular & Special Selection), Chappellet, & Pahlmeyer to name a few.

What producers could you suggest that offer wines that may entice similar tasting notes as these do?

I have always enjoyed Verite La Joie. You may find it similar in style, and to your liking.

Based on the wines you mentioned (Cali Cabs), I would suggest considering the following:

Beringer Private Reserve, Chateau Montelena, and for a step up, Kapcsandy and Maybach.

I also like Caymus and Chappellet a lot. The others I buy almost every year are Montelena, Provenance, and Hewitt. Others you should like are Parallel and possibly Metisse and Seavey but they may run toward a bit more firm than you like. The last two (along with Montelena) are 15+ year wines.

csquared78,

If you take Jim's advice on the Montelena I would advise you to pick up a '98 estate around $60 at auction. While '98 was not a very good year in Napa Montelena made a great wine that will give you a glimpse of what a great vintage with age on it will be like.

The Chappellet signature is always a good buy in most vintages if you are looking for good Napa Qpr.

Leonetti, Five Star and Bergevin Lane will give you a North West approach to this style for quite a few bucks less. The exception of price would be the Leonetti.
