Dry and friendly style, this Marsala from a traditional and historic house deliver nice crafted wine, delicious with juicy roasted chicken or salted and roasted nuts 😀 a nice example that good Marsala is for drinking and not for cooking 😉 — 12 years ago

Love it when a plan comes together - cooking chicken fajitas and pesto macaroni for twelve and the loverliest Chard to hop along for the festivities on a hot summer eve. The balance in acidity and fruit is immaculate! Best match of the summer so far. — 8 years ago

Paloma is definitely a benchmark for Napa Merlot and this '07 was a ringing endorsement of that. Rich black fruit, plenty of smooth tannins hanging around and it kicked ass with the deep fried ham we were cooking up. — 10 years ago

Finally able to lock down reservations at Magdalena's. They have a unique set up in that they have a set menu that changes every week, and you are notified the week before if there are spots available...they sell out within 5mins! We were lucky to get on the list for their most recent "Supper Club" as they call it.

Based on the menu, we figured 1 white and 1 red was appropriate. After enjoying my favorite Sauv Blanc (the Addax SB), my buddy Luke (who is a big Pinot fan) brought this to expand our knowledge on pinots and see what Oregon has cooking. At pop and pour, this was delicious. Lots of cherries, leather and dates on the nose. The taste was very different than the aromatics. More leather, Bing cherry, cedar and a touch of rhubarb. A very "dusty" Pinot. — 8 years ago

Still mouth watering tannic acid that's deep and brooding that combines with ripe dark cherry richness to create a boysenberry tang. Nose is at once dusty gravel road as it is cooking sweet cherry pie. Perfect balance front to back. Amazing, mature fruit for sure, but still could last a decade!
