Burgundy Napa Valley Red Blend 1955
The 1955. Sixty years ago a lot of things were different in the golden state. "Burgundy" was "a blend of Gamay and other fine grapes". This half bottle made it, and still had allure and pleasure if only on a thin, frail frame. It was much improved from hours of decanter time. — 11 years ago

Waits-Mast
Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012
Night one was a touch too austere for non food drinking, but had some herbal and acid allure. Day 2 reveals another complete animal, with cumin, green herb and tart raspberry with autumnal field grass. Gritty rainy sidewalk oak and afternoon coastal ranges breeze. Like coming off dry land. Pencil lead, charcoal, and some warmth. — 10 years ago
Jordan Vineyard & Winery
Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2010
Tres Beautiful nose 👃👃👃
Caramel apple-banana brûlée top notes, pear and spice underneath, still-pert lemon zest and peach custard, too. Palate delivers that Cali-leonine body -ie big! - but with enough brisk acidity to keep things more than decent. Long, with flavors that echo the nose and all around beautiful balance. Drinking super well at moment, near its peak and rewarding this bit of bottle age with plenty of secondary characteristics. PLUS:: #winebling (yes, there are some tartrate crystals, folks - all just adding to the allure - game on!) — 11 years ago

A year later & this is a little ripper! Cue grilled steak and escarole & this little beauty holds up beautifully in all her silky feminine allure with fine acidity, silky tannins and a lingering coffee mocha after its. Tops. — 10 years ago
