Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Mark Proden
9.1

A great cab for the price. Smooth and lingers on the back palate. I may even like it better than my 2006 cab. — 10 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007

Spicy nose, red cherries, lot ad tannins left, may be another 5-8 years — 12 years ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2009

Found this bottle tucked away and misplaced due to a move a year ago and was pretty anxious about how the bottle may have been stored over the past 12 months. Fears were put to rest soon after opening. Glorious fruit and a little dirt for good measure - so glad I found this gem. — 10 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2005

Its okay scent is well integrated. Its taste is fruity with good acidity. However I think it may not age well with time as I tried it again next again. It wasn't as good. — 10 years ago

Watching a film for the SeVENTH time this week, late nights at the office, and delivery dinner with emails... calls for a Friday night companion! — 11 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2004

Matté
9.5

Great, lifted nose of wild strawberry, light soy, mushroom yet with a freshness of lifted floral notes of Rose bud and petal that you may find in good Barolo, bright, fresh yet with the intensity of balsamic notes. In the mouth this wine is beautifully resolved with dried (but still fresh) black berry, fresh herbal with an umami finish. Uber! — 10 years ago

Spottswoode

Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

My 4th bottle, the best and my last, this absolutely killed it and is why I love Napa Valley Cabernet, especially #Spottswoode. 12 years old this easily has another 10 to go but is in a beautiful place right now. Open or decant for 30 minutes, though I did not decant. A deep resold color, not a sign of brick as one would expect. Shows the importance of provenance (bought from winery). A complex set or aromas and flavors of creme d'cassis, currants, sweet and sour cherries, sweet cedar, and graphite. Palate wise the textures are all in alignment, with medium to full body, ample acidity and medium grain slightly chewy tannins that may be it's only flaw. #2002 — 10 years ago
