REVIEWS:
Wine Advocate
The finest Private Reserve since the 1991, 1990, and 1987, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is extraordinary. There are 8,000 cases of this blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and small dollops of Merlot as well as Petit Verdot. A perfume of smoke, camphor, creme de cassis, cedar, and fruitcake is accompanied by a gentle giant of a wine. Powerful and impeccably balanced, with outstanding concentration, well-integrated wood, acidity, and tannin, and a long, nearly 60-second finish, this saturated ruby/purple-hued effort is a prodigious example of Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: now-2020+.
Score: 94. —Robert Parker, February 2005.
Wine Spectator
A superrich, polished, multifaceted wine, with layers of ripe currant, blackberry, herb, cedar, sage and a touch of pencil lead. Deep and concentrated, the flavors pour through on the finish, and while the tannins are chewy, the texture is supple. Best from 2005 through 2012.
Score: 94. —James Laube, November 15, 2004.
Wine Enthusiast
Contains 67% To Kalon Vineyard fruit. Still a baby. Closed, brooding, very deep, very dry. Fabulous cassis fruit, a huge wine. Lots of delicious, sweet new oak. Superbly balanced, impressive. Drinkable now, but best 2010-2020.
Score: 94. —Steve Heimoff, June 01, 2005.

But normally the house is booked pretty solid from mid-May through the end of September. Send me a PM if you have any questions. If you want another RTR member's opinion of the place, you can ask Graham or Boris about it.
As a bonus, I see that David Donohue is offering high performance driving lessons. Do do my corresponding part, I'm willing to throw in a free half day of personal driving instruction by me. However, since I'm in the blue group, it would have to be off-track.But the good news about it is that you'd have no problem convincing the IRS that the fair market value of that part of your donation is $0.

Larry,
Ok, let's take a twist on this......
I plan on being there on Saturday, I'd love for you to take me out for a session (green group) and be my instructor. No pressure, just a little fun.
Actually, there is a hidden agenda, if you are curious drop me PM or better yet, give me a call at 610-294-8257.

Mike, Sorry but you know the rules: one of us has to have a red wrist band. And since I don't see you on the Thunderbolt red list, I'd appreciate it if you would arrange in advance for one red band for me.
I'll "PM" you.
