Hey Dietmar, if you get the opportunity I highly recommend you pick a bottle of the Details, Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was recommended to me at my local wine shop ($25) and I thought it was amazing. After seeing the wines you like, I think our palates are pretty similar and that you will really enjoy that wine. Thanks for taking the time to make the video, I really enjoyed it.

What a coincidence that the restaurant I’m going to has the same vintage as your video for the Mondavi, Artemis and Caymus! Does that mean you’ll recommend the Mondavi over the other two?

Hey Dietmar, enjoy your channel. One question, have you tried the Venge wines? Like their Cab Silencieux? Great wine that holds it’s own with the wines you listed…just thought I would share.

Yes, I see on average 30 increases. Beringer Knights Valley is a notable exception. But then, it’s technically not Napa.

im a bordeaux drinkr but new to napa wines. i have been recommended to try shafer one point five. is it a good wine for someone who seeks good quality wine but not way too expensive?
@decantswithd
@decantswithd Жыл бұрын
1.5 is very good, but is not cheap. There are great Napa cabs throughout the entire price spectrum. Chateau Buena Vista on the low end. Barnett at the middle, and Arjenstone, O’Shaunessy and Mayacamas at the other end.

Great video! I hope you find more Howell Mtn wines - O’Shaughnessy a good add. Try AonAir or Reverie II as well. Kill the Caymus - over rated & manipulated, I think most of us are moving on. Maybe some Mt. Veeder fruit? Diamond Mountain? Wish you all the best, Doug

2 or 3 years ago I could get the Artemis at any wine shop for $55. Wine from Napa is going crazy on price increases.

You are absolutely right. Stags Leap Artemis is one of the wines that increased the most

Big heavy cabs, very expensive here 30% more than whatever you paid for them in the U.S.Great to drink once in a while but much to heavy to drink regularly. My preference is Italian Sangiovese or Nebbiolo.

Mayacamas makes 5000 cases annually. They are really small. O’Shawnessy is also considered small. But size was not a criteria in my list.
