Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

Wow what a wine! Yet again the Insignia delivers a proprietary blend that is consistent with their long past time of creating one of Napa Valley’s elite Bordeaux style blends. The intensity, complexity and balance that is delivered every vintage is why this wine year in and year out receives top marks. The 2014 has a dense, opaque ruby red core. The bouquet is intense and concentrated with a wide array of flavors including, ripe black and red berries, red cassis, fresh cooking herbs, freshly cut violets and a soft note of rocky earth. The palate is powerful, complex and persistent with structured yet silky tannins. The mouth feel is juicy with a refreshing balance that offer up a long finish. Tasting the wine two separate times you will definitely want to open it up and let it breath or decant for 1-2 hours to get maximum enjoyment from this bottling. Drink Now- 2035. — 8 years ago

Rojzilla Michigan Sour Biere

Much better than this year's one, which probably just needs aging. Lots of esters, glue, and deliciousness — 9 years ago

Ravenswood Winery

Besieged Limited Release Old Vine Sonoma County Red Blend 2013

Probably the best Sonoma wine produced by Ravenswood! Everytime I have this wine I wonder why I don't drink it more often? It is truly a world class effort that outshines bottles costing 3x the price. Rivals Italian IGTs and expensive French blends. Fantastic! — 9 years ago

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

One of the nicest California blends that still had some spice without being too rounded as some Meritage blends can be. — 9 years ago
