This 2004 was simply amazing. The group of 6 of us enjoyed the first bottle from the case so much we drank 4 more.... Paired well with a simple salami (pork, donkey, beef, pepper, salt, and garlic) and a local bread. — 11 years ago

Need a Leo at your party? Looking for that gal who can charm the pants off a discerning group of hopeless wanderers? This is your gal. She's a people pleaser with a penchant for citrus and lemongrass. This is the city gal of summer wines. Crisp, refreshing and a pallet pleaser. Allegedly loves seafood (this according to match.com). — 12 years ago

Met Kelly during private tasting in September 2012. Group opinion, "find of the trip." Rick bought a magnum that Kelly signed. — 14 years ago

Initially very pleasing. Can explicitly taste the oak nuance and the ripe Cali fruit. A bit more reflection reveals tobacco and cedar. Quite Napa-esque, despite its Central coast ancestry. Impressive. — 10 years ago

Нос: ежевика, молоко, кожа(животные нотки), фиалка и сиреневый ирис. Легкий, но ощутимый и продолжительный танин, горчинка и ягодный фон. — 12 years ago

Magnum 1997 Chateau Montelena CS. Big group dinner at Tap w RR and J&Viv M during staycation. Decanted for abt an hour and poured alongside the '79 Stag's Leap Cask 23 CS out of magnum. Unfortunately, this couldn't compare. Some thought it might be a bad bottle, but K wasn't convinced. The wine definitely evolved in the glass and softened out, but we all agreed it wasn't a great bottle. — 10 years ago

Im confused. This wine was crazy modern and s departure for the owners of lafite and latour. Wonderful fruit the group had no idea what to make if this wine but all wanted to revisit in 15 years. — 11 years ago

Tonight's foie gras and Sauternes tasting: my rank 2 of 4. Group no. 3. Light amber glow. Tight at first but unwinds to caramel aromas and hints of brininess. Stylish viscous mouthfeel with soft salted caramel flavors. Thick lingering finish. — 11 years ago

The beginning of a 6 year SO vertical tasting at our monthly wine group dinner. It's a good, well made wine. It's just, well, I guess my palate has evolved. This iconic CA wine is just not my cup of tea any more. I couldn't believe how similar all six wines were. I mean like Budweiser similar. — 12 years ago
