Look at you all standing over there with that group of International Business doctoral students all nodding like you know exactly what they mean when they say that China is devaluing their currency. But you know what? It totally doesn't matter. You just keep smiling and swirling your glass of Chard or Pinot or whatever else you ended up buying from this Woot-Off while interjecting the occasional remark about tannins and flavor notes and whatnot. No one will even notice you're completely out of your element when it comes to the economic strategies of foreign powers.
Two of the following will be randomly selected just for you
1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville Vineyard Napa Valley 1.5L
From southern Napa, just beyond the Carneros border, this is a cool climate Cabernet. Well-etched cassis flavors are set off by fine acids and rich tannins. This wine is remarkable for its depth and complexity but also for its balance and restraint. It wisely avoids the modern tendency toward excessive size.
1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve Napa Valley 1.5L
The 1999 Grand Reserve enters the glass with a deep ruby hue and is characterized by aromas of classic Coombsville complexity -- dark ripe fruits intertwined with semi-sweet chocolate and fresh pepper. The palate is layered with Bordeaux-like note of cassis, spicy herb, sage and currants. Its depth and richness are pure California - highlighted by ripe black cherries. The finish is lengthy leaving the palate with sweet cedar spice.
1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville Vineyard Napa Valley 1.5L
Concentrated and beautifully complex, this wine couples blackberry, cassis and smoky oak aromas with full, rich blackberry and cherry flavors and just a hint of dusty vanilla. It is an elegant, yet powerful wine with a long, lingering finish.
