Full body, rich color and tannins well pr served in Oak I like this guy maybe more than my up to know favorite from Alexander valley: Jordan Cheers — 8 years ago

A truly great central coast Tuscany Merlot. With Polished layers of complexity this wine shows you what Masseto Wines are all about, fabulous aromas, earth, tobacco, leather and long legs. If you like old world Merlot this is about as good as it gets. Cheers 🍷 — 9 years ago

@Benoit Touquette we thank you!!!! Cheers — 9 years ago
One of the best wines under $45 you can find. Incredible fruit and complexity. Rivals its flagship Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red at nearly 1/3 the price. Amazing wine. Cheers!! — 11 years ago

I've had this bottle in the cellar for a LONG time (probably past peak)...waiting for the right occasion. Here is to ten eventful years of Builders Bargain. Jammy, delicate flavor. 13 years of aging has given this a very earthy quality. Decanted for 90 minutes but should get even more spectacular through the evening. Cheers! — 9 years ago
A visit from ol reliable while out and about tonight. When Frank Family is on, it's delicious, just like this '13. Drinking really nice at a young age. Epitomizes Napa Cabs currently with bold and fruit driven flavors. A lot of red fruits on the nose like raspberries, but the darker blueberries came through on the tongue. The fruit seems a bit extracted...medium oak presence. This is a crowd pleaser when needing to satisfy a large group.
Happiest of New Years to my DL family. 2016 was my first DL year, and it's been a great experience getting to share great wines with y'all. Thank you for your insights...it's been an honor. Cheers to 2017!

I've had every vintage of this bottle from 2001 to 2008 (with the exception of 2002, which I'm not sure if they were able to produce). I've even sampled their 2010, which may rival their best vintages (1997, 2001, 2004, 2006). After an hour of decanting the deep cherry and blackberry fruit dominate this graceful glass. Sweet but not tart, the finish lingers with a subtle smile. By the vineyards standard, 2008 is a wonderful bottle. Cheers!! — 10 years ago
Birth year bottle for our first born daughter, Haley. Celebrating her graduation from Iowa State this weekend and her achieving gainful employment one week from tomorrow. The cork was stubborn but eventually cooperated, and we decanted and filtered the wine. Tart cherry the first sip, wondering if we needed a backup. Beautifully brick coloring and the sharp edges are rounding out and now we’re getting a smooth mid palate of dark berries and spice leading to a bright finish. And a bright future! 👍🏻🍷👩🎓.

Champagne calls for a celebration. It a dual celebration this Friday and Saturday. Tonight, we are celebrating the Republicans absolute failure to complain for seven years about healthcare and have not spent a minute of those seven years to even remotely research & come up with any sort of healthcare bill to fix the issue or improve coverage for millions of Americans as promised. Nice job...cheers on a job well done. Launois is a special champagne and such an exceptional value. More reductive than oxidative in style. Green apples, lime/lemon zest, grapefruit, pineapple, citrus blossoms, brioche, perfect chalkiness, acidity and beautifully polished finish. — 9 years ago
Rating 2014 a 96 for now so the scale has somewhere to go up once it gets some age. Aromatics hit the nose with power and went down nicely. This one will be great @Bruce Phillips scary good for being this young. Cheers! — 9 years ago
