Riva Ranch Reserve Arroyo Seco Chardonnay 2016

This Chardonnay is oaked to what I hope is the maximum point. On the nose, a strong vanilla scent meets a Carmen Miranda hat of tropical fruit, like pineapple, mango and banana. The acidity is zippy yet the mouthfeel is creamy, thanks to 100% malolactic fermentation. Citrus lasts the longest on the finish, but it has to fight it out with the oak to do so. If you're in the mood for a good ol’ fashioned California Chardonnay, this is your bottle. — 7 years ago

Throwback Chardonnay, I love the phrase! I'll probably steal it...

Drei Donà (Tenuta la Palazza)

Graf Noir Sangiovese Blend 1999

One of the treasures of Emília Romagna at Osteria Riva $150. Quite full and robust following the 2000 Marzieno Zerbina which preceded it $130, which blew Andy away - reminded him of ancient Hill of Grace - thinner, closer to the end of its life but much finer style, while the 2005 from the previous week ($120) can probably survive a few more years. — 7 years ago

Petite Sirah 2006

Dark Inky in color with a deep purple rim. This Petite Syrah is not showing age at all.

Fruity nose with oak, cola, vanilla, licorice, cherries, blackberries, figs, alcohol, raisins, peppercorn, leather, spices, mint, coffee chocolates and smoke.

Full-bodied and bold, yet elegant and smooth, with medium plus acidity and gorgeous legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate, with blackberries, figs, cooked plums, sweet cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, light cloves, coffee, bitter herbs, light vegetables and lots of peppercorn.

Long finish with firm and round tannins, and black pepper.

This 10 year old Petite Sirah, is very fruit forward and complex, with many layers, and nicely balanced. Needs three hours to fully open up.

Would probably be just as good in the next three years. Good by itself and would definitely be awesome with a big piece of steak on the grill.

I paired it with light appetizers and Cheeses, and with some nice weather by the pool.

100% Petite Sirah. 63% from Lake County and 37% from Napa Valley.

15.5 % alcohol by volume.
