The Black Shiraz 2015

16.5/20 (90/100) Вино с ароматами чёрных ягод и фруктов, имбирных пряников, ванили, кожи и копченостей. Довольно тельное со свежей кислотностью и мягкими, гладкими по текстуре танинами. Ягодное во вкусе. Классика. — 8 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This wine is getting better each time I try it. It still has years to go.
Amazing complexity and still a mouthful of fruit. John Harris, maybe you should have kept Jeff? Looking forward to your current wine in a bunch of years. All the beat to Bob

Wasn’t sure this would still be singing, but how can one doubt Jim and Bob?? Creamy, rich, long, washed down some wild salmon beautifully. Not an ersatz White Burg; but a classical Santa Cruz Mtns. Chardonnay. — 6 years ago

Barolo Rocchettevino Nebbiolo 2012

Nice, classical Barolo with light, brick red color and a ethereal, aromatic nose with fresh, tart cherries, fading violets and a whiff of undergrowth. On the palate quite light with juicy acidity and the unmistakable tannic grip.
This is a nice effort.

Claret Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Fruit is still there! One of my favorites! Bob Foley is as good a winemaker as there is on the planet! Big, fruit driven, plum and rich, but incredibly balanced. Just so good!! — 6 years ago

Varner

Spring Ridge Vineyard Hidden Block Pinot Noir 2013

Had this a year ago, aged nicely. Bob and Jim Varner started planting in 1980. Deep Ruby, slight brown edges, aromas of ripe berry fruits with earthy smoky cedar. On the palate cherry and raspberry with currant notes, good balance. Fine savory tannins, long ending with ripe fruit, toasty spice and earthy character. Drink now!! — 6 years ago

Celebrating my parents’ anniversary. I’ve always enjoyed Amici’s Spring Mountain expression. Rich, brooding dark fruits, cool eucalyptus, and Christmas spices. Lovely tannins and overall mouthfeel. Bottle signed by proprietor Bob Shepard. — 7 years ago

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

From magnum. I usually don’t like my Cali cabs this big but after decanting all afternoon this was singing. Wore the weight very well and just a beautiful effort by Bob. — 8 years ago

Very good bottle of wine.

Tanuki Bob

Mantonegro 2014

Hot take: new oak is alright. Especially when it’s just a kiss. 9 months in 4000 litre French oak and 9 months in stainless steel. Manto Negro is considered an easy drinking grape, but treated properly, we find a wine that has elegance and finesse like a village level burgundy from a top producer. Black cherry soda and vanilla ice cream outside by your neighbour’s pool. — 8 years ago
