Bad Seed

Once Upon a Vine

The Big Bad Red California Red Blend 2013

Tasty!! Sweet, very slightly dry, strong cherry notes, with a touch of cranberry, cardamom, and vanilla. The nose is extremely pleasant, full of cherry and oak. Very, very nice — 10 years ago

Levo Wines

Bad Medicine Santa Barbara County Syrah

A friends of mine @Alejandro Garcia said that I needed to do homework and practice makes perfect, so I am starting to work on trying different things. This wine was outstanding for a light lunch. Very jammy wine, easy to drink for anyone. Perfect for an easy evening of chatting. — 10 years ago

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1963

What is all this talk about bad years? Shone like a star, outplacing four other late-60s first growth Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

So young, still. Incredible fruit and just the beginnings of the tertiary stage. Structure for 10-15 more years. Not a bad day at the office. Happy birthday @andrewmulligan — 13 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 10 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

You obviously know what you're getting into with this one - tannin, tannin, and more tannin. Amazing structure, nice acid, if you're in the mood for one of the Napa big boys this isn't a bad way to do it. — 11 years ago

Young but with signs of potential. Definitely decant this baby if your drinking it any time soon. Power developing but very condensed and restrained right now. It's Dunn so it can't be bad! — 10 years ago

Landslide Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

The color is very opaque a deep dark purple almost black.
The boquet is so amazing I was sipping it before I realized what I was doing. It has absolutely no tanic smell. It smells like blackberries fresh on the vine. The initial palate taste is dry and not very rich. It has a light feel to it. It has a smooth light beginning and a dry almost tongue tantilizing finish. The flavor is of black currant, blackberry, and chocolate with a slight himt of acidity, but in a good way. It tingles the sides of my anteroir tongue. It has a very dry finish with no aftertaste. This is an amazing wine. This is Alexander Valley at its best. In a nut shell, its a big bold smooth and yet light wine. Almost like a Pinot in heaviness but big bad and bold like a Pure Cab

Philip Togni Vineyard

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

The nose is aged Bordeaux. It is delicious with dark fruit, spice, and tobacco. More like a nicely aged Pauilliac. The smoky finish is deliciously long.
The label was in such bad shape that I had to fill in the torn G for it to be ID'd.
