California Cabernet Sauvignon Trio

2005 Dominus Estate

2007 Lokoya Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon

2007 Verite Le Desir

2005 Dominus Estate

RP 96 Points

This blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (note that rarely is any Merlot utilized at the historic Napanook Estate in Yountville). The alcohol, by California standards, is a relatively modest 14.1%. Blending the best of French savoir faire with the brilliant fruit purity and ripeness of Napa Valley, Moueix has turned in another tour de force that seems far superior today than it did when it was first released. This is one of the vintage's greatest wines. Dense purple and youthful, with a glorious nose of earth, blackcurrants, sweet black cherries and incense, the oak is pushed way in the background, as it is in all of the Moueix wines, and the result is a wine of terroir, of great originality and authenticity. This full-bodied classic from Dominus can be drunk now, but really won't hit its prime for another 4-5 years and last at least another two decades or more.  Drink 2019-2040

 2007 Lokoya Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon

RP 96 Points

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain opens with provocative dark chocolate and black cherries notes with underlying notions of tilled soil, plum preserves, spice cake, cracked pepper and yeast extract plus a waft of truffles. Big, concentrated, full-bodied and muscular in the mouth, the palate offers a very firm backbone and wonderful freshness supporting the generous fruit, finishing on a persistent mineral note.  Drink 2018-2042

2007 Verite Le Desir

RP 100 Points

5/11  A profound blend of 44% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec, with 56% of the fruit from Chalk Hill, 26% from the Alexander Valley Mountain Estate, 14% from Knight's Valley and 4% from Bennett Valley, the 2007 is a wine of unbelievable intensity. It boasts a deep blue/purple color as well as notes of acacia flowers, graphite, licorice, blackberries, blueberries, and a hint of burning embers/charcoal, superb intensity, and purity, and abundant tannin in the finish. This massive wine needs 5-6 more years of bottle age and is meant for 35-40 years of cellaring.  Drink 2016-2056

Dinner for Six at Stefani Prime in Lincolnwood

Right off the Edens expressway, Stefani Prime is the ideal meeting place where the North Shore meets the city with guests enjoying a city dining experience without having to battle the downtown traffic and parking challenges.‹

The menu at Stefani Prime features high-quality prime steaks and seafood. Guests can also see Stefani's signature Italian dishes that first put Phil on the map in 1980 when he opened up his first restaurant, Stefanis on Fullerton in Lincoln Park.

Designer Mark Knauer was the architect that the Stefani's worked with to create their vision. The team wanted to create a combination of the energetic vibe of the city with an inviting comfortable neighborhood feel. A spacious layout, open kitchen, and large windows, ensure that Stefani Prime gives an open-air feeling. Contemporary oversized artwork, brick walls, and a soothing palette of greys and whites add to the modern feel.
