Regusci, Angelo's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District

Waited too long to open this one. It's faded into that tertiary phase where the fruit and tannins have evolved and become earthy and brown. Still enjoyable in an old Bordeaux kinda way.

2006 vintage

Excellent wine

2021 vintage

Drank with Neil and Tanya at Lori's office dinner on 1//7/2023. Outstanding choice.

2012 vintage

Tasting perfect after 1 hour decant.

2012 vintage

Great example of high quality Napa cabernet. Could age more but no problem with drinking now. Totally complete wine from front to finish. And 2012 was not the greatest vintage in history.

2012 vintage

decanted one hour and the wine was perfect great fruit and finish my last Angelo in my cellar. darn

2012 vintage

Nose of black berry, hints of chocolate, same on the palate, oxidized fruit trying to show age potential, medium/big body, tasty, too oxidized for me, long finish.

2006 vintage

3 Napa wines (Yan's China Bistro, Walnut Creek, Ca.) : Nose of black berry, and black berry pie, same on the palate, big body, some chocolate on the palate, lovely, mouth filling fruit, touch simple, at peak, showing well, long finish.

2006 vintage

Similar to my note from 2 years ago - drinking well.

2012 vintage

Menthol has ramped up even more since last bottle. Will wait a few years on our last bottle to see where it goes.

2007 vintage

Very dark color. Mild aroma and acidity. Some complexity with long finish.

2010 vintage

A really excellent cab. Solid over four hours open.

2012 vintage

Deep ruby in color with a distinct garnet rim. Pronounced aromas of ripe black cherries, prunes, eucalyptus, coconut, dark chocolate, and distinctive aromas of leather and cured meat. On the palate it is rich and luscious. dry with medium plus acidity, high alcohol, full body mouthfeel you can almost chew on with pronounced flavors prunes, cooked blackberries, dark chocolate, beef jerky. Finish is medium to medium plus and very satisfying. Very good wine, drink now, it is in its prime …

2012 vintage

Great wine, aging beautifully. Still plenty of life, fruit, tannin left.

2012 vintage

93-94 Splash decant, Really starting to hit stride, nice smoky dark fruit, lead/graphite, tannins partially resolved , still big structure and definitely a steak wine. No rush to finish but I think this at peak. I dont think this will hang in there until the tannin fully resolves but this is beautiful now.

2010 vintage

An excellent big, bold cab. Very deep and dark purple color, nearly black. Menthol on the nose and palate, but not enough to distract. At least ten years left in it.

2007 vintage

Menthol for days! Brilliant dark fruit and cocoa.

2007 vintage

Awesome wine. Very velvety mouth feel, and very smooth with soft tannins and long finish. Dark fruits, a little leather. May age well, but drinking very nicely now.

2012 vintage

Deep ruby. Pronounced, developing aromas of blackberry, black currant, blueberry, violets, new leather, graphite, vanilla, toast, and just the very beginning of some stewed black fruits. Surprisingly fresh for a 2010. A truly exceptional wine from Regusci. Best I’ve had from them. Could easily age another five years or more.

2010 vintage

Had at CBCC by way of KB. The wine was very aromatic and was singing way before getting into the glasss. I asked Karl where he got it and he mentioned that he bid and won it at the Auction NApa Valley. In mouth the wine was most definitely a bit of a meritage. Immediately notable black fruits with some plum that reminded me more of a Syrah than a Cab. It is a big wine make no mistake and …

2006 vintage

Another outstanding Angelo’s vintage. Still very young, give it some air. Drank over five hours and it kept improving with time open.

2010 vintage

Amazing regusci. Oaky light tannins and smooth. Members of this vineyard and our favorite

2012 vintage

Excellent wine, I thought 1932 was Regusci's best but the Angelo blew me away. Drinking very well now. Enjoyed with a nice dry age steak.

2012 vintage

The Angelo's cabernet is a well made wine, still big but somehow more elegant and restrained than the Patriarch. Dark fruits, a bit of smoke and leather with a long finish. I think this one will age very nicely and would love to taste again in 10 years.

2012 vintage

took a while to open, not as powerful as i remembered

2006 vintage

nose - complex boysenberry. per doug smells a good latex paint mouth - cassis, blueberry, concetrated ripe and lovely, good acidity. blinded i would guess shafer hillside select

2007 vintage

Decanted a couple hours. A textbook Napa Cab and silky smooth already.

2010 vintage

I agree 100% with Bluegoose!

2012 vintage

tasted blind nose -oak mouth - nice fruit punch, dry tannins, liked by me

2006 vintage

Sorry I opened this. My only bottle of the 2007. It's a monster-Ina good way. All you could want in a CA cab.

2007 vintage

Hillside vineyards provide a more stressful growing environment for vines, resulting in lower yields and bigger, riper flavors - and out four acre Angelo's Hillside Vineyard delivers the concentrated 2010 vintage in abundance. Bold, masculine aromas of cedar, currant, wood smoke, earth, and dark toast. The lush mouth-feel yields layers of ripe currant, black tea, chalky and dark chocolaty tannins with a cherry finish that has a mercurial lingering. As always, Angelo's will mature with authority over the next 15 …

2010 vintage

Beautiful ripe cab nose. Noble in style. Flavored with rich, dark berry fruit and anise and fig influence. Loads of blackberry and spice.

2007 vintage

Big tanins and woody when compared with Parallel Silver label. Question how long you can age the wine.

2007 vintage

Popped the cork and let it sit for about 3 hours. The decanting really opened the wine up and every sip was a journey. This is a deep dark complex wine and was a perfect food pairing for a nice flank steak dinner. Dark garnet/purple with an opaque rim. Endless aromas with leather and tobacco leading the pack. Fruit was all there and a long finish made you just wait for the end that seemed to never come.

2007 vintage

Subtle caramel, cassis, and floral notes on the nose. Black currant, smoke, and pepper are backed by firm tannins. Will age well. The finish is meaty, smoky, of medium length and has creme cassis to close

2010 vintage

limited notes, but whoa this stuff explodes on the palate in both breadth and depth. ripe rich fruit. Had to buy a bottle.

2007 vintage

tasted at the winery - corked i think, though we could never establish consensus. Whatever it was, i think sadly some sort of off bottle, as I have drooled over this stuff in the past.

2006 vintage

nose - olive mouth - dense, dark fruit, olive, rich, chewy, needs time. has 'deliciousness'

2006 vintage

nose - sweet cassis, fig and maple (per TJ) mouth - sweet concentrated dark fruit, a hint of black olive, smooth, and full of tannins

2006 vintage

pop & pour nose - creme de cassis, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla (and 'carrot' per Brian) mouth - rich superripe dark fruit, ultrasmooth, cocoa on the finish

2006 vintage

Superconcentrated wine also with olive flavors. Wow. Drink now for fireworks or age to mellow out. Probably merits a higher score

2006 vintage

Are you sure?
