Popped & poured, slammin' right off the bat. This is their lowest end estate Pinot in a not-so-great vintage for the RRV. 5 years really did this wine well, wish I had more! Alex Davis knows what's up with PN. — 11 years ago

Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes

Cuvée Alex Le Rouge Jurassian Imperial Stout

Holy mole! I have never really found an imperial stout that I loved until this little guy. It's sourish too and spicy and lighter bodied than I had expected. — 9 years ago

Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance. — 9 years ago

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Great bottle of Cab for Pam's 28th bday. Alex Valley is always one of my faves. Lots of depth and great with some steaks. Well balanced - 08 vintage — 9 years ago

Clos Rougeard

"Brézé" Saumur Chenin Blanc 2002

Bacara. Still on the list. Alex and Lindsey give a thumbs up. Touch of oxidation, but I'm feeling it's where it should be. Great texture. Minimalist honeyed. — 10 years ago

Château Guiot

Cuvée Alex Costières-de-Nîmes Red Rhone Blend 2009

Nice syrah-cab blend. Bell pepper, red fruit, violet(?), earthiness (forest floor/mushroom). Nice, full body with mild tannin and well balanced alcohol. — 11 years ago

Lavender, not violet. The mushroom earthiness of the wine become much more expressive as it breathes. Delicious!
