Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Really concentrated for a Pinot Noir. Dark plum compote, cranberry, black fig, clove and anise. Big, bold, tastes similar to a Zinfandel on the palate — 9 years ago

Mollydooker Wines

Carnival of Love McLaren Vale Shiraz 2006

Was apprehensive at first as last time I had this (a year ago with Big Wave Dave) it was the cliche Oz Shiraz fruit bomb with high alcohol bordering on over extraction. On the second outing a lot more complex. Still classic cassis fruit and choc/tobacco overtones but not over the top and with some nice acidity still. Less spice than typical. Nice underlying tannin backbone. Lovely mouthfeel and medium body and finish. A little time has done its work nicely. — 10 years ago

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2011

For all those that love to say, "this California Chardonnay is Burgundian," can check out White Rock. — 12 years ago

Chimney Rock

Elevage Stags Leap District Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Dark blue fruit, mocha, and spice on a taut frame that spins out to a long minerally finish. This should improve considerably with a few more years of bottle age. — 9 years ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Lucious floral and fruit aromas followed by bold flavors of raspberry jam with subtle oak overtones. Well structured and balanced with great mouthfeel and a great lingering finish. One of my favorite big Pinot Noir's. — 10 years ago

Chimney Rock

Elevage Stags Leap District Merlot Blend 2002

Initially dry, but with a fruity nose. Expected to have a full flavor and finish as the bottle nears the end. — 12 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.
