Eponymous

Morlet Family Vineyards

Coeur de Vallée Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

My father: There is nothing wrong with this wine. (This means somewhere between 96-98 points... shoulder shrug = 93 points). Me: This is borderline epic (also means somewhere between 96-98 points...)
From Beckstoffer To Kalon, on the Oakville Bench, and widely considered the greatest vineyard in Napa Valley. Everything comes with such ease and gracefulness, yet it’s one of the most powerful wines I’ve ever tasted. Extraordinary balance and a wine that could serve as the definition of Cabernet Sauvignon. Currant, cassis, cranberry, pine, loam, chocolate, clove, cardamom, and cedar. Luc Morlet was the winemaker at Peter Michael in the early 2000s before creating his eponymous label in 2006.

@Isaac Pirolo hilarious first paragraph! Very recognisable 😀

Bryant Family Vineyard

DB4 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Good but not great. Clearly a well made cab, bold and chewy. If you think this would be BF Lite you would be mistaken. It is a different wine entirely. Closer in style and substance to other good quality Napa Cabs than it is to the eponymous BF. — 9 years ago

Bodega Rezabal

Getariako Txakolina Hondarrabi Zuri 2015

Eponymous wine from Basque country . Slightly effervescent bracing minerality/peaches/green apple/underripe pear. Delicious and should be great counterpoint to light basque stew with chorizo and clams tonight....so I'm told — 8 years ago

Joseph Swan Vineyards

Kent The Younger Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2013

From the young vines of Kent Ritchie's eponymous vineyard. The Ritchie Vineyard produces some of California's best chardonnay, from the likes of Aubert, Ramey, Bevan, and Paul Hobbs. This needed 45 minutes to really get going, but once it did it was stunning. Lemon custard, white peach, and wet stone, with some secondary orange marmalade. The oak is present, but well concealed. Absolutely beautiful chardonnay. — 9 years ago

Azienda Agricola COS

Pithos Rosso Vittoria Nero d'Avola Frappato 2013

Scintillating purity. Tannins and acid in harmony. Gently perfumed of earth and eucalyptus. On the palate--black cherry, wild berry, slate, singing acidity and tannic finish. A multifaceted wine, quenching at one glance, serious and structured at another. Changes character depending on what you're looking st. Like that woman Jerry Seinfeld dates on his eponymous show. Only this is beautiful all the time. — 8 years ago

Charles Woods was the original owner of Napa Cellars. There isn't a lot of information out there about his eponymous label, but this was pretty outstanding. Still a bit of tannin remaining and plenty of fruit to go with the well developed tertiary notes. Very pleasant surprise. — 9 years ago

Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Fiddle me this Batman.......Kathy Joseph and her eponymous Santa Rta Hills sweet spot flexing all kinda muscle. Layers of fuzzy grippy damson plum, blistered black cherry, RC Cola, candlewood, sandelwood, falsetto acidiTIE , brown spice and then a symphony of chewy woodsy funk meets anise meets clove meets youthful unripe boysenberry.....and they all had a love child. Your welcome!! — 10 years ago

Delaire (Laurence Graff Wines)

Botmaskop Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Meaning "Boatman's Hill" this Bordeaux style blend from South Africa is grown on 50 acres on the slopes of its eponymous hill. Lots of Cabernet flavored at first with funk and spice notes that fades to ripe and juicy blackberry and plums. — 10 years ago
