614 Seavey Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
A monumental, classic California cabernet sauvignon, this wine boasts an
opaque plum/purple color as well as an extraordinary bouquet of jammy cas-
sis, plums, toast, and licorice. With its humongous fruit and glycerin, full body,
smokey blackberry and coffee flavors on the mid-palate, as well as a silky,
moderately tannic finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this seamless effort is a
modern day cabernet elixir.

615 Chateau Monbousquet, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2015
This wine is smooth with a cream-chocolate texture that's rich and dense.
Velvety tannins opulently balance with the super ripe fruit. This is not a shy
wine - everything is right out front.

616 Chateau Montrose Saint-Estephe 2014
The wine is clear and bright, and the nose is slightly oaky with notes of bri-
oche, toast and cedarwood. From a clean and direct attack, the mid-palate
shows great balance between freshness and fruit, together with good acidity.
