Amador County Old Vine Zinfandel 1997

Wow. Nose. Color. Fruit. Flavor. Tannins. Long. Slight sediment from 97. This was a gem. What a surprise. Hard to find the words. The fragrance had so much complexity. I was absolutely blown away. — 5 years ago

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Tropical notes enchant the nose with honeysuckled pineapple and light banana. Bright lemon and and warm pineapple rain across this vivacious palate. Fun acidity lingers long after the finish. Not my personal favorite Sauvignon Blanc but high quality and complexity — Very Good Shit nonetheless. And it releases in style from an intriguing softly square shaped bottle. — 7 years ago

VGS Terroir Collection Fountaingrove GSC

2017 “GSC” Grenache blend with Syrah and Cinsault. Dry on the palatte. No distinctive aroma but very enjoyable by itself or with food.

VGS Two Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

This is what wine should taste like. Smooth, sweet, mysterious black pepper bites in the night. Figs by the fire with my lover. Also would be smoother in 3-7 years. — 8 years ago

Explorer The Illegitimate Red Blend 2012

So what do you call a Bordeaux Blend from Napa - ""The Illegitimate"! This is a fun wine. Nicely blended with up front fruit and smooth / soft finish. Has character like a classic French wine with Napa twist. Pairs well with many foods - so versatile. — 9 years ago
