My first post must highlight my favorite bottle in the cellar: 2001 B.R. Cohn Olive Hill Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Beyond a nice wine, I highly recommend it. The winery, in Sonoma Valley, was founded by Bruce Cohn, manager of the Doobie Brothers, in 1984 - this tidbit adds some fun to the pouring. Wine Spectator gave it a 90, but based on other 90+ selections, I personally place it much higher, in the 94-95 range. I prefer a rich, fruitful flavor with moderate tannins, so this wine is right up my alley. For the experience, the price is moderate. You should be able to find a bottle for $50 or so. Although the Silver Label is OK for casual use, and much lower priced (I've purchased for $18 at Sam's Club), go with the Olive Hill Estate cab for a delightful experience.
