Shafer Vineyards

Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay 2015

Wine bears vineyard named to honor the Red-shouldered Hawks & other birds of prey that play a vital role in sustainable farming practices. Golden with aromas of tropical fruits and sweet floral scents. Aged for 14 months, 75% in new French oak and 25% in stainless. A rich Chard, the palate shows sweet melon, pineapple and peach flavors and citrus notes, subtle yet complex and well balanced. Lingering finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and creamy toasty oak. Outstanding! — 7 years ago

I was concerned that this 25-year-old might over the hill but no cause for that, after all. Dried cherries, leather, loam, and overall satisfying through the finish. — 5 years ago

With those Sagrantinos you need at least 10/15 years for the tannins to mellow out.

Apparently you are correct. I gassed 1/3 of the bottle with Private Preserve and it was better still the next day.

Heitz Cellar

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2017

A beautiful Chardonnay! Only 15 acres planted with grapes grown in Rutherford (warmer with rich ripe fruit) & Oak Knoll (cooler with fresh acidity in grapes). Pale lemon, with fresh & crisp citrus & stone fruit aromas, no malolactic ferm. Palate shows peach, apple & Asian pear flavors, with lemony & toasty notes, lively acidity & balance with touch of vanilla oak (9 months of French oak aging (25% new & 1-year old, remainder neutral oak). Long finish ending with fruit, spice & biscuit notes. Nice Value! — 6 years ago

25 Ans d'Age Bas Armagnac

What a delicious Bas-Armagnac. Rich with vanilla and caramel notes all in abundance. But what makes this such a delightful spirit is its intensity, smoothness and the finish that lasts several minutes. Twenty five years aged, and some, this Bas-Armagnac was a little treasure that I picked up at a store that was, sadly, closing. I'm glad I did. — 8 years ago

Chateau Montelena

The Montelena Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1995

From a beautiful site with a lake and gazebo, active geysers and volcanic soil is reminiscent of Italy. Even though this wine is 25 years old I found it to be quite firm and restrained. The others out shown it quite significantly.  — 5 years ago

Macallan Distillery

25 Year Old Sherry Oak Cask Single Malt Scotch

A Great night to say the least:
Magnum of Gargiulo money ranch road,
2000 Bryant, 25 year Macalllan. Totally forgot to post this pick from a few weeks back!
The Bryant drank as good as any French Bordeaux that I’ve ever had. The money ranch toad was mediocre in comparison and the 25 year Macallan was 2nd only to the amazing company we had in our house that night!!
Great times to say the least!
