2014 vintage. Bright red and blue fruits with a stout structure and a really nice finish. Needs. A good decant or another year or two to smooth out. Really nice though. — 6 years ago

Old wine. I can smell the earthy barnyard if success when all goes right. We decanted it at the table and it kept growing with each glass. Paired with a Waugh beef NY it brought forth floral and fruit tones, but cut through the fat in the steak to finish strong with acid and tannins! — 7 years ago

Houlihan ' s on a half price wine night and Stags Leap, can't be beat. This an awesome wine and drinking a bottle for less than I can buy in the wine center is a delightful way to end a day. Try it. — 9 years ago

A nice contrast to the Lapierre, cut from the same structural cloth but full of sun-kissed California fruit. Good now with a decant, ought to be great a couple years. Deeeeee-licious! — 10 years ago

Thanks @Jim Westby for packing this claret for our trip to Yosemite. We grilled up Fred Steak to pair with it, and this powerful, virile '93 had the power and cut for the rich, flavor y tri-tip. This wine has so much going for it- you have to wonder if they added some of another more famous vintage! — 8 years ago

Dark and full bodied, this wine brings on the darkness fruits: black plumb, dark cherry, black currant. It has relatively high acidity so should pair well with oily dishes. — 9 years ago

1/5. Corkage at the Nomad. Medium /light gold. Slightly viscous. On the richer end of spectrum. Dried citrus, spice, not a ton of cut left. Not quite as persistent and long as the last time a tried this. But a very fine bottle nonetheless. Drink. — 7 years ago

Edna Valley Chardonnay at its finest.
Balanced-Smooth-mellowed acidity but still very brightest. Naturally fermented and aged in concrete. Round-luscious-rich. I'm cooking up a whole branzino in my wood Fired oven. This will pair perfectly. — 8 years ago

Sottimano's 2012 Langhe Nebbiolo is a beauty. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, cinnamon and mint are woven together in this refined, textured Nebbiolo bursting with pure class. Cherries, raspberries and rose petals linger on the expressive finish. (AG)
