This is one of the stars of the vintage by far. I can count on one hand how many 2011 Napa reds I like. This wine is NOT a fruit bomb but rather it is beautifully adapted to the vintage and for me most importantly does not display those South American green pepper and herb notes like so many of its 2011 peers (something that for me is a deal breaker). Nose is pure soy sauce with pipe tobacco and ripe plum. Palate is dark cherry and with a defined salinity and with expressive limestone and crushed rocks. Finish is subtle but lingers for 60 seconds. This is ready to drink right now but give plenty of air. — 10 years ago

Has Harvester #craftbeer been rebranded? The hops and coffee create a crazy green, franc like finish. — 10 years ago

Italian tasting-Loma Portal 11/23. White flight. Second deck. Delicious! Napa rule breaker from Max. Italian varietal by maker that does Larkmead's Tocai Fruilano. This is much more complex and fascinating. — 10 years ago

Maximus makes me want to punch a gangbanger in the face, find the cure for cancer and sing America The Beautiful on the bow of a sinking ice breaker after saving baby harp seals from giant Canadian fur smugglers. Yeah. It's real freakin good. — 10 years ago

Fruity, which is normally a deal breaker for me. Smells of outside. Chocolate finish. Delicious. — 10 years ago
