2014 Napa Earthquake survivor. She survived the fall, cushioned by her comrades around her. Some did not make it back to base. With that, we salute you. — 6 years ago

Always love Lamborn Zin! Seemed appropriate to choose the earthquake vintage... lol — 7 years ago

A surviving bottle from the earthquake. A pleasant surprise how wonderfully this has aged. Better than it was in earlier days. Mature but fresh Chardonnay flavors. No edginess of maderization at all. Recently we are rethinking the drinking window of all of chardonnays because they are proving to be quite long lived. — 7 years ago

Totally awesome but not for everyone. Massive wet river stone minerality and dried tropical fruits. 2013 was the Napa earthquake tossing and apparently upped the oxidation. A beautiful deep deep gold color. — 8 years ago

"Earthquake wine" - always grab a bottle if I see it somewhere. Fruit bomb with decent structure that is improving year on year. Great winery in general — 8 years ago

Wine is a journey. This bottle survives the earthquake last year. It landed in pool of wine from some broken bottles that had ejected from the wine cooler. Glad I could share this 375ml bottle tonight w/ great friends who had similar experiences.

Black and blue fruit seems like it was simmered at low temp and then captured in this elixir. Deep purple color and evolving tobacco leaf and menthol aromas mingle.

French hard candy turns seconds into minutes as the sweet compote flavors linger. Enough buoyancy from the acidity plays a supporting role.

Fun to reconnect w/ this wine again. — 9 years ago

Really good, smooth full bodied and drinkable. Tastes expensive, also very very similar to "Earthquake", by Michael David Winery which I like. — 9 years ago

1994 was a big year in California... the Northridge earthquake, OJ, Apple's Power Mac, Netscape Navigator, Green Day's Dookie, and this Cabernet from Stonestreet. This is the only one that's still relevant today.

Upon opening I could tell there was plenty left in the tank. I had my concerns, though, with how brett-y and damp the initial funk it gave off was, but the fruit was showing through. It needed 45 minutes before it was noticeably better. The surprise was how much it continued improving over the next two hours, leveling off at style reminiscent of 1989 Left Bank Bordeaux... an entanglement of dried black cherry, coffee, graphite, pipe tobacco, and dried herbs with an edge of pine, but with a slightly more pronounced oak influence. The hint of damp earth remains to linger in the background. I'm not sure I'd risk it, but this could probably go another decade. Superb. — 7 years ago

The decade has treated his wine beautifully. Lots of plum and dark fruit with a smoothness that is so inviting. — 8 years ago

God bless TAIWAN after a 6.4 earthquake... till now still shocked. By the way, the bottle with strong berries and a smooth smokey fragrances was good to share. — 8 years ago

This wine was spectacular. Very dense and textural with lots of black fruits. Could age for a few more years. Wish I had more. Pardon the label, it survived the Napa Earthquake of 2014

@Steve Matthiasson talking about his background, the evening's wines, and and interesting aside on why the 2013 Ribolla Gialla came out a bit more orange than planned due to the 2014 Napa earthquake. The wine was a nice pair with the Gnocchi. — 8 years ago
