Laird Family Estate
Jillian's Blend Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011
One word.. 3xBold! This was a strong wine. Strong like Dave Draper or Tom Platz in the Golden age of bodybuilding. Too powerful to drink alone but paired with almost anything including halibut, it rocked the table. Incredibly smooth for such an in your face cab. Label said red wine but this tasted like a cab. — 10 years ago

Clean and refreshing. Beautiful summer wine. — 10 years ago
La Vieille Ferme (Perrin & Fils)
La Vieille Ferme Rosé Blend 2013
Light strawberry at the front. . Very light wine. . Sipping is good. . Pairing is better. . It won't blow you away but if you want an under $10 wine it's not bad. . Probably fits a budget conscious person. 👍 — 10 years ago
Caymus Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Strong, fruit forward bold cab. Not jammy. No pepper. Definitely a steak wine. Like everything they do, enjoyed every sip of this Cabernet. — 9 years ago
St. Supéry Estate Vineyards
Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
This is a fine wine that pairs well after any pagan holiday that includes gifts. Strong finish with hints of peppercorns rolling off your tongue. Not all cabs can be drunk alone. This is an exceptional strong but standalone vintage. — 9 years ago
Celler Los Trovadores
Gallicant Montsant Grenache Blend
Ordered from a store in NJ. Maybe it was the winter or how it was stored along the way. Tasted like a kid shaved off some pencil shavings, dropped in some Monsanto Roundup and topped it off with an acidic piss.
Needless to say, this was worse than anything that has touched my pallet. — 10 years ago
St. Francis Winery
Sonoma County "Old Vines" Zinfandel 2009
Unfortunately this aged too long where it was kept. It's an 09 and here is it.. 2016. No good. Too bad become bet it would have been. — 9 years ago
Mantra
Reserve Alexander Valley Old Vines Zinfandel 2014
Meh. Not for me. Maybe too young for a cab and I needed to wait? Maybe decantering would be best? Probably not a bad wine. Just not the cab I like. — 9 years ago
Viano Vineyards
Private Stock Contra Costa County Cabernet Sauvignon
Meh. Nothing horrible but nothing special. I was on a kick to find great tasting wines under $10. It was cheap but not one I'd buy again. A couple of cases for some event you needed to bring wine but don't want to spend much money would be the best destination. — 10 years ago
Marc David
Absolutely one of the best Chardonnays I've had. Very reasonably priced. Not a huge white fan normally but this is great. Not oak. Just smooth. — 8 years ago
