Chateau Montelena

The Montelena Estate Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Started out monolithic. Within an hour blossomed to a big cassis nose, followed by beef blood, iron and fine tannins on black, black fruit. Do not open for 5-7 years, this 12-year old needs more time but will be phenomenal. — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1996

1996. Sadly still a little tight and closed. So much lurking beneath the surface. Any funky edges are covered and streamlined by the piercing clarity afforded by the freshness of the acidity and the finest of the tannin. 97+ points. — 10 years ago

Chateau l'Oiseliniere de la Ramee Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2015

So much salinity and complexity on the nose. Super mineral with a little texture on the palate. Really really pretty wine especially for the cost! — 9 years ago

Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2014

I'm not normally swayed by beautiful bottles...but on top of being a really beautiful rose, this was also a really beautiful bottle. Just a hint of sweetness peeking through the dry. Another crowd pleaser. — 10 years ago

Chateau D'Aiguilhe

Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend

This was dynamite for the price. Needed some time to open up but after about 2 hours in a decanter, it sang. Rich texture reminiscent of some of Von Niepperg's higher end estates. What I loved most was the absolute seamless and perfect integration of oak on this bottle. Rarely have I been as pleased with the oaking regiment of a wine as I was with this wine. Perfectly sweet oak and vanilla coming through without being too prevalent. A beauty of a bottle for $25. — 9 years ago
