December 2007
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon. 94 points. “This winery on Spring Mountain owned by the Marston family has been around for well over three decades, with the fruit sold primarily to Beringer.  They are now estate bottling some of their wine, and we should all be thankful for that.  There are about 500 cases of each vintage.  The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beauty!  Aged in 400-liter puncheons (as winemaker Philippe Melka believes the larger size helps tame some of the naturally high tannins from this mountain site), this wine exhibits a deep ruby color, a beautiful nose of melted licorice, spring flowers, cassis, and hints of blueberry and chocolate.  It is elegant, full-bodied, refreshing, and intense.  The wine was completely fermented and aged in puncheons before bottling.  It should drink nicely for at least 12-15+ years.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
While celebrating a family member's birthday, Kevin Starr, a family  guest,
led a discussion of literary figures
in the 20th Century. The key
question came up of how to retain
and share a core group of writers
throughout each generation.
