California
2007
Casa Nuestra is a small, family-owned winery that was established in 1979. They have supported a lot of progressive values over the years, including holding a few music festivals. They only bottle a very limited number of cases each year - because of that, their wine is top notch, but it is also rather expensive. They only made 199 cases of this Cabernet.Colin: It's hard to be biased when you like a wine so much, but what's great about this exclusive wine is that you can almost taste the Napa Valley soil with it's oaky, warm embrace. Probably the richest Cabernet I've had yet, some who do not enjoy tart flavors of a Cab will not enjoy this. It pairs amazingly well with Italian good - this is a brilliant wine.
Rating: 10 out of 10 glasses
Rachel: It smells and tastes equally delicious. It has a rich oakiness, a smooth finish, and the bold flavors of a Cab without any of the lasting sourness. There is also such a smoothness to the finish. I love Casa Nuestra's winery (they have two awesome goats) and I love their wine. I would choose their wines again and again, even at the expense.

Aerate: Colin - No // Rachel - No
Where can I find it?
Unfortunately, Casa Nuestra is so small they don't distribute. The 2007 Vintage is actually sold out. You can look at all their other varieties here: casanuestra.com. Their Meritage is also really good, as is their Riesling. You can't really go wrong with a bottle from here.
Cost: $55.00
