Paloma

Napa Valley Merlot 2007

Mike Anderson
9.5

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. — 11 years ago

Domaine Valette

Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Vinzelles Chardonnay 2009

The owner has no internet connection, no phone, nada! Good luck buying from the source unless you make the journey! — 11 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

I get cumin on the nose, but maybe that's the roast in cooking in the kitchen coming in to play. Warm integrated tannins with strong but not over powering oak. Wonderful black fruit on the round finish. — 12 years ago

I'm realizing that I like the '05 Cubillo I had a couple of weeks ago a bit better. It was weightier and balanced, in a way that this is not. I wonder if this particular bottle is starting to fall apart?

Rombauer Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2011

Amazing grape from Napa. Rombauer family (Joy of Cooking) turns to the Joy of Wine making. Favorite Chardonnay. — 13 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

1986 Leoville-Las-Cases

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!
