Jen Mar Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Revisiting this burly beast almost a year later and it’s still as it was before: terrific. Impenetrable dark crimson with a little more bricking going on. Vanilla, lavender, a good bit of oak, and blueberries on the nose. At almost eleven years old, this doesn’t remind me so much of a standard Napa Can but rather a nice Bordeaux. The heat from the alcohol has definitely settled down and is presenting some wonderful balance. There’s still some fruit here with layers of blueberries, cherries, and cranberries. Tobacco, coffee, and leather on the palate. This is a wine that’s absolutely singing right now. All hail to Last Bottle. Just like I said a year ago, powerful, ripe fruit, and great structure. — 6 years ago

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

WesMar never disappoints. This '08 Russian River Valley is a treat: from the fragrant bouquet, to the initial introduction of wine and pallet, to the crisp finish, this Pinot had great balance, acidity and fruit. — 10 years ago

Alma Negra

Misterio Red Blend 2013

The hidden blend of grapes for this is kinda fun. Obviously lots of Malbec, rich, intensely flavored dark fruit is the main character, with a hint of baking spice and something savory, and dusty tannins. Not much nose and finish but that's fine. — 8 years ago
