Any advice as to when I should open it? I'm no expert on aged California cabernets, but I would expect this bottle to be more or less ready on opening. With bottles that age there's always some risk of disappointment, regardless of provenance, but chances are good that things are fine. Danger signs to look for are leakage around the cork capsule, or a low level of wine in the bottle, i.e. below the neck. If that's the case it could still be good but the odds decrease. Regardless of bottle age there's always a chance of a problem, especially if a cork is involved, so be sure to have a backup plan. Also, I assume you have the bottle standing upright. If not, you should do that now so any sediment has a chance to sink to the bottom. Have a happy New Year, and a Happy Anniversary! P.S. In answer to the question,I'm bringing along a bottle of grower champagne, Brigandat Brut Reserve.
