Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Been working on this bottle over the last couple of months via Coravin and finishing it off tonight. The most opulent, ripe, and jammy Dunn I’ve ever had. Very different from other vintages. — 6 years ago

I don’t use Coravin, @Eric Shanks. There’s a long coat tail to consider with the product. I can also taste the gas 🙂

Revisited from a week ago. Love that Coravin!

Today I felt the tannins were better integrated and the fruit slightly more balanced. Continued with a wonderful nose. Winner!

Thanks @Mike Smith ! Yes, I've noticed. I feel like Myriad needs a touch less? I had a 2014 syrah the other week an it showed extremely well fresh from the bottle.

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1993

Coravin with lowest expectations was the highlight after 1 hr glass decant. Dense, full-bodied, dominated by sweet oak and cedar. Creme de cassis and Asian spice. Far better than expected. - Robbie’s, London — 8 years ago

Huge fan of leoville Barton. They may not make a 100 rated wine but consistently solid. They last forever and well priced.

Livermore Valley Red Bordeaux Blend

Greg Ballington
9.2

Preliminary note: Quick coravin to check in on this sample before the weekend. Deep ruby red. On both the palate and the nose with lots of savory elements mixed in with some red berries and a little dark at the end. Some floral notes too like roses. Amazing structure and backbone. So balanced for being so young. Heavy tannins (8/10), full bodied and super long finish. Time will only help this wine and I can easily see up to another two decades from now for this wine. Killer potential and a real surprise! Can drink now with a super long decant which we will do. Drink from 2018 till 2036. 92+

Already starting to open up with some more dark berries on the nose. Also some good spices coming through on the palate.

Wine club gathering with dear friends. Two whites and two reds, all tasted blind.

This selection was from a Coravin. Yes, still sweet, but the notes of fig and eucalyptus were agreeable.

Hall Wines

Kathryn Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say about this wine. But...here goes. This has to be one of the worst QPR wines I've ever had, but I'm also taking into account how young this wine is. I have to remember that I'm rating the WINE here, but the price tag and hype just can't help but to get in the way. Drank over 6 days. Poured initially from Coravin and let sit for about an hour. I will tell you that I was excited initially, as the nose of this wine overpowered the grass fed beef burgers that were just cooked about 2 feet away from where the wine was being poured. DENSE blackberry and vanilla rolling out of the glass. The entry of this wine is silky, but also has that gritty Napa youthfulness. POWER. Fruit forward monster, ripe blackberry, graphite, mineral and spice rich middle with cherry blossom and finish with a very deep, dark core of blackberry, black pepper spice. The finish is where chocolate covered blackberries and minty notes come out, but the wine was still rather tannic. Developed a bit more after I uncorked it at the end of the week. I blind tasted my wife on this one who guessed that it was a '13 William Harrison cab (vineyard is only 2 miles away as the crow flies, maybe, although Hall's is elevated 750 feet). That cab is $50. This one still has a **LOT** of integrating to do which I am taking into consideration which is why the other bottle is locked up tight, and this one just might not have been on its A-game. — 7 years ago

In agreement with you and both @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher and @Eric Shanks . I enjoy Hall wines, but not at their prices. Their sweet spot seems to be about $75.

The cheap stuff seems to be easier to acquire as well (I think I had to throw a few elbows to get these bottles, and now I just feel dirty!). I am pretty Hall-ignorant. Definitely not a bad wine but wishing I had the extra $300 QPR difference to do some more damage!

I signed up with their club last year, so I’ve had all of their wines, none of them are worth the QPR, the top ones are great, but you can get a 100 💯 point Maybach for half the price of their 100 pointer Rainin & other top tier wine which I cannot remember at this time🤔,

Domaine William Fèvre

"Côte Bouguerots" Bougros Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2000

During July 2014 a good friend received a Coravin as a gift. Called me over and asked what 6 bottles did I think should be tested. The cynical SOB that I am had my eyes heading straight to this bottle. Needless to say I was surprised when this tested "good". Fast forward to today and I am happy to say my cynicism proved wrong again. A beautiful nose of ocean spray and shells with hints of spearmint like scents. More round than sharp with flavors of sea water and green apples that lingered very long. Got a little fat after 90 minutes. — 9 years ago
