"Wine With Time" 91+ point Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Dinner

Red wines improve with age! Do they? At our July event we are going to put that theory to the test. Join us as we compare and contrast 90+ point California Cabernet Sauvignons from 2020 to 2012 and see how cellar aging highly rated wines affects the drinking experience. The Chef at the Lobster Bar has created a four-course dinner menu to accompany our wines. This will be an exquisite evening of wine indulgence.

Wines
Dao Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Score: 93 pts. WA
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a barrel sample of free-run Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) and Petit Verdot (25%), matured for 16 months in 50% new oak. Still youthfully coiled, it hints at blueberry fruit with swirls of graphite, soy sauce and exotic spices. The medium-bodied palate is velvety in texture, savory in character and finishes with uplifting acidity.

Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon NV 2018
Score: 91 pts. WS
Solid and direct, with a core of plum sauce and cassis wrapped in warm vanilla-accented toast. Picks up tobacco and licorice root hints through the grippy finish. Best from 2021 through 2027.

Daou Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Score: 93 pts. WS
Plump and juicy, this seamless effort is focused on red berry and jammy notes, showing plush tannins, depth of flavor and length. Ultraripe but stays within bounds. Drink now through 2030. 20,000 cases made.

Frei Brothers "Reserve" Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Score: 92 pts. WS
Combines firm, dark fruit and chewy tannins with a measure of finesse and refinement. Ends with gripping, cedary tannins, bolstered by good length and depth.
