Two recent Napa CA Cabs -- disappointing....

94 Viader -- Maybe the mountain fruit is closed at the moment, but the wine was not showing much tonight. Very unidimensional.

95 Sullivan -- Nice fruit but the oak spice is showing more strongly than ever, and the tannins are not dropping out -- still pretty drying.

Well Bah! Humbug!

Will lay major odds the Viader is going thru a dumb period. Last I had was just starting to show her colors.
