  Just a quick post from here in my Napa hotel room before I hit the road for the rush hour commute, in the rain, for Oakland.

• Hess Collection Estate Cabernet 2005

  
  TasteWine — Authority: 136
  Hess Collection, Mount Veeder – Napa Valley, Estate Grown, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 There’s a minty character attached to the black fruit and plenty of acidity. The structure of the mountain is apparent but again, like other wines we’ve tasted tonight, the tannins are fully ripe and not gripping – very nice. ...

• Yalumba “The Scribbler” Cabernet Shiraz 2008

  
  The Wine Front — Authority: 149
  I opened this on Monday night and it looked too young to contemplate tasting.
