Lion Tamer Napa Valley Red Blend 2022

Blend of 60% Malbec, 15% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby red color with aromas of black fruits, baking spice and cedar notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and ripe blueberry with pepper, oak and herb notes. Fine savory tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Drinking well now, will improve! Small production. Nice! — 2 days ago

La Pousse d'Or

Les Jarollieres Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Getting to the last bottle of this set of 2007s. Holding up great and still a 9.3 for me. The tannins were always more pronounced in this wine and likely why it held up so well through the years - probably has 10 more years in it. — a month ago
