Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Kudos and many thanks to @Martin G Rivard for sharing this exceptional VHR!! 2 HR decant and paired with a homemade barbecue chicken pizza (really, this carries well!). Thanks to @Ryan Mitchell for purchasing the sweet potato soufflé and corn bread sides to complete the meal. Inky dark with hint of tobacco, smoke and red currents. Tannins already smoothing for a 2013, but this could sit and improve for years a la @David Trumper. Many thanks again @Martin G Rivard, look forward to returning the favor!! — 9 years ago

@Martin G Rivard much thanks for allowing @Daryl Calhoun and myself to enjoy a VHR bottle this afternoon. That's what it is all about - wine and friends. Your bottle filled weekend made made us want to break out quality stuff. (See next post) This will age nicely and @Bruce Phillips has something special here. 70 degrees in Chicago during October is rare, but so is VHR - thanks again #martinthegreat

David Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2013

Slight Honeydew and apricot on the nose. The smell tells you if its acidity but on the palate that acidity is super soft. A gentle soft finish but with a little sassiness! — 10 years ago

Chenin blanc the only one in Naps when dad purchased the vineyards one was planted to Chenin they tore it out 2004 replanted 2005 Molly chappellet is the label only sold at the winery apple honey extract honeysuckle and bright acidity. Bought a homesteaders propery homestead 600 proprty 400 for the home real estate 300000 acre they were the only ones on the hill lovely intensity with a creamy texture long finish lovely minerality. Finish 45+? All vineyards replanted they have learned a lot so the wines keep getting better. Original 320 acres intact from Prichard. Very close to a dry vouvray. Neighbors Ovid continuum Bryant David Arthur they are 100% solar and organic the next generation will have a better piece of property. Bought next door neighbors property to protect the family but not a real estate guy so he only bought the extra 300 acres of property this is also where all of the water comes from. 120 acres of vineyard today. sister does legal work and brother oversees winery production. M and dad still around. The next generation? — 12 years ago

@David A Lentine I found someone that is as demented as I am when it comes to sharing wines! Thank you my friend😍🍷🍷😍. This is my 1st time enjoying this particular bottle. It's beautifully balanced with a marathon finish. Dark cocoa, dark blackberry fruit but still nimble on the palate. Freaking insanely good!!! Shit., now I owe you 1 David!!!😜 — 9 years ago

Napa Valley Sangiovese 2012

Went all around the world tonight from South Africa, to the Rhone Valley in France to two areas in Tuscany in Italy and back to the good ole US of A on Pritchard Hill in California. Fantastic wine to end with, great fruit and with a lot of life left in this bottle since it's just a puppy. Great night with great friends over great pizza! — 9 years ago
