A "Miner" Question.

[Brad S]

I was given a bottle of 1999 Miner Napa Valley Cabernet "Oakville" as a gift.

I'm unfimiliar with this producer. Any one have tasting experience with it?

Check it out here.

Their wines are solid. The cabs are good to very good. I don't have any notes on the '99, but I have tasted it and remember it to be pretty tasty. I'd give a few years if possible.

Thank you John.

I did in fact look at there website.

I was hoping for some TNs

The only "problem" with the Miner Cabernet is its "Major" price tag. Good, medium-full bodied Cabernet with a nice bit of oak, though not especially woody. It is drinkable now and has enough tannin and structure to go for another 5-10 years.
