Always and constantly astonishingly amazing and drinkable...Even enjoyably so. Showcasing a vast and complex array of deep, dark fruit and grandpa's cigar box characteristics. With a bass clef preceding notes of black cherries, leather and a smidge of vanilla, and purple flowers and red berries following the treble clef, this Howell Mountain cab packs a punch without hurting anyone. My stomach is jealous of my mouth for getting it first. — 9 years ago

Strong tempered, dark chocolate, and vanilla beans at the palate. Almost too strong at opening. But it develops beautifully, revealing a complex array of spices and black fruit. Hats off.

A bit of a sherry like component candied pear fruit with notes of almond and marzipan very creamy and layered in the tongue with a bit of that sherry note through the finish. Still quite lively with layers of fruit fresh acidity. 2007 lemon drop candy almost like a Montrachet with an array of tongue tingly mineral notes with pretty very perfmd and notes of vanilla and still a baby with layers most excellent. 2009 very intense bouquet of aromas with thick lemon drop candy pear jolly rancher — 12 years ago

A crisp and clean Pinot Grigio that exhibits notes of lemon zest, kiwi, and pleasant array of minerality. Finishes smooth and pairs very nicely with lobster ravioli. Also puts Santa Margarita to shame! — 13 years ago

A wall of cedar coated in turbinado crystals, sweet tea, vanilla mist, wintergreen and wildflower honey up the two-hole. Really a gorgeous array. Orange blossom honey, pine nut, rock candy, lemongrass, cocoanut, cocoa powder, soft vanilla, sweet tobacco, coffee candy, brickle notes, squash blossom, poppy flower, and the worlds most perfect raisin. As delightfully indulgent as drifting carelessly down a clean river in spring and being enveloped in an endless array of budding flora! — 9 years ago

amazing Rhone rosè from @garagiste_wine for $10!Would be a great one at 2x the price. Gorgeous watermelon flesh color, nose of fresh cherries, tomato Vine, strawberry. Great balance of acid and fruit with lingering finish, would pair well with a wide array of summer fare. Blend of 50% Syrah, 21% Cinsault, 18% Grenache , 6 Counoise, 5% Mourvedre. Sad I bought only 1. — 10 years ago

The 07 Lytton Springs is blackberry,boysenberry, blueberry, mulberry syrup over pancakes, an easy integrated array of spices with a whiff of white pepper in the forefront.
