Domaine Drouhin

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2017

Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2017: Medium-bodied. Bright red fruits on the nose and strawberry, raspberry, cherry & plum on the palate. Additionally, there is a light touch of forest floor, earthiness ending with a soft dry finish. Glad to be back supporting & enjoying some local outdoor dinner spots! Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1991

Brooding, aromatic, and deep. Still quite bright and lively. Blackberry, pencil shavings, violet petals, black plum, dried fig, iodine, black pepper, leather, Kalamata olive, cassis, raspberry preserves, bittersweet dark chocolate, savory spice. Earthy black truffle notes open up with aeration. Ultra-fine cocoa powder tannins, mouthwatering saline acidity, and a super-slinky silk texture. Long, savory finish. — 5 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Kosta Browne

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2010

Knockout California Pinot. Yeah, the high alcohol is there, but the rest of it is stupidly well crafted - concentrated fruit, baking spice, violets, and forest notes on the nose, an acidic zip gives way to dark cherries, floral notes, and a lingering tannic finish. Fairly bright for its age and drinking super well. Wish this thing was a magnum. — 11 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 1998

Excellent bottle. The 01 is supposedly a better vintage but im not sure when it comes to this producer. Clear, day bright, garnet and orange brick like color, medium - concentration, orange/peach rim variation, slight sediment, low viscosity. Nose: sound, moderate intensity, stewed cherries/strawberries/raspberries, floral, spicy and lots of dill pickle and slight game. A mushroom note as well. Palate: dry, med- body, stewed plums over ripe cherries/strawberries, lilies, dill, vinegar, leather, button mushrooms, game, mulch with some cedar and coconut. Very complex. Med- tannins, medium alcohol, high acid, long finish. Between the 01 and the 98 its a tough choice of which one to put in the wine cooler to store. — 12 years ago

In fantastic condition. Very Top Shoulder. Firm cork, pulled in one piece. Wine: Fully enveloped in its secondary aromatic life. Forest floor, sweet leather, excellent color, bright aromas, resolved tannin. It makes me think of '66 Latour, a vintage favorite. Off the 66s, probably top 3-4 of vintage. — 12 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1984

Dark ruby, bright, doesn’t look it’s age. Awesome funky old Cal Cab nose. Notes of cherry, cranberry sauce, dirt and some balsa wood. Some steminess. Great perfume. Nice in the mouth but missing just a little bit in the mid palate. Really enjoyed this. — 8 years ago

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2007

Can't say enough about a wine this serious at this price point. Absolutely stunning, elegant, and even (in a chinon way) powerful. Floral aromatic dominate - lavender and a bit of rose. Graphite, dusty chalk, red pepper, some raspberry. Fresh yet not primary. Hints of savory notes as well. Incredible spine of minerality runs through the palate. Great acidity and structure. Coiler and energetic. Finishes long and bright with refreshing pyrazines for days. In an incredible place now, so no fault in drinking but has a long, long life ahead. One of the best values in the wine world. Just exceptional — 9 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

2000 vintage. Deep ruby, edging to deep garnet around the rim, very bright. Plush on the nose. The black cassis notes from the Cab and the violets from the Cab Franc are very noticeable. The wine is developing with huge sweet spice, vanilla, smoke and leather. There's a bovril, meaty note here that's very attractive. On the palate, medium acidity, high tannin - grippy, but not coarse; well integrated. Alcohol is 13% and unobtrusive. Good concentration. Fruit is riper on palate than in the mouth, and a distinctive dark chocolate and cinnamon note. The finish is long and attractive. Hard to imagine this wine drinking any better from here. — 11 years ago
