1991 Simi Alexander Valley reserve Cabernet sauvignon
In my quest to clear orphans from my cellar I came upon this 1999 Simi
Alexander Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in my orphan bin last night. WIne was quite dark with a faint hint of brick at the rim. Nose was starting to show some mature notes of plummy raisiny aromas and a bit of cedar. Still fairly big tannic structure on the palate with some cassis and plum with a fairly strong herbal note to the finish. OK but not great. "B-" |

I'm quite sure that the bottle was a gift from someone which is where a lot of the bottles in my orphan bin come from. It always puzzles me when people/friends who know my background in the wine business and my cellar bring me bottles of wine. I can't tell you how many bottles of Sutter Home White Zin or Turning Leaf Chardonnay I have received over the years. |

I should bring them something. Oh, here's a nice-looking bottle!" Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |

"B-" thanks for clarification, If a 1991 I was going to be surprised a Simi was holding at 20, but '99 is more what I'd expect. Good notes. |
