Four older CA Cabs, mainly disappointing.

[Bucko]

87 La Jota -- Blech! Down the drain. The disposal ran in reverse for 10 minutes.

86 Buehler -- Just okay, pretty much over the proverbial hill and sliding fast. Down the drain.

86 Johnson-Turnbull VS 67 -- Pretty nice a few years ago, but definitely over the hill now, with bitter, sour flavors. Down the drain.

90 Robert Mondavi, Private Reserve -- Peaked and not going to get any better, the wine was an enjoyable CA Cab, very smooth, very polished, nice fruit, and a nice match for grilled NY Strip Steak.
