...7 of us tasted 7 cabernet sauvignons. Most were decanted an hour ahead of time. Lowest points was the favorite.

7. 1984 SF Symphony Bd of Gov. Select (bottled by Wheeler) $60 (in 1984) - 41pts - 4 lasts - it was amazing this 34 year old bottle held up so well - it was very drinkable and only about half the tasters identified it as the oldest one.

6. 2012 Stonegate Rutherford $35 - 31pts - 1 first

4/5. 2014 Daou Reserve Paso Robles $48 - 29pts - 2 lasts (my last)

4/5. 2014 Cameron Hughes Lot 601 $32 - 29pts

3. 2015 Textbook Napa $27 - 24pts (my #3 and my wine)

2. 2014 Louis Martini Napa $30 - 22pts - 3 firsts, 1 last (my first)

1. 2015 Substance Columbia Valley, WA $16 - 20pts - 3 firsts (Costco - Parker 92pts)

All of these were pretty good and as you can see, the preferences were all over the place. Some held up a little better or improved over time. The top 3 wines were only 2 pts apart. Most preferred a young, inexpensive wine to the older, more expensive ones.
