A new tradition is blossoming... opening Tondonia on big snow storms - cold smoked trip tip is a great combo too. Dried pruned and desiccated raspberry. Soy and umami. Tobacco and smoked cedar. Layered and evolved nose - masculine but elegant. Brilliant acidity lifts currant, sap, and tart red berry fruit. There is this unique stewed fruit which turns tart. Tannins are present but integrated. Drinks well now, but no hurry. Classic wine from a classic producer. — 4 years ago

Slightly green on the nose, no go for me. That blew off with a decant. Deep and heavily extracted yet light and refined when you take a sip. Traditional black and blue fruit yet, drinks more left bank with the Cab Franc peaking through. — 7 years ago

One of my favorite Turley Zin vineyards. Always a soft, fruit and flower forward expression. Springtime BBQs in a glass. Drinks well young too. — 5 years ago

An early evening HH at home with a fabulous Bordeaux wine. Color is a dark brown especially on the edges Red fruit and dark plum with a subtle barnyard lingering on the nose. Tastes of black fruit, currant and leather with earthy and smoky flavors and a sweet finish; tannins are mild and drinks smoothly. — 6 years ago

Good, really drinks like a left bank Bordeaux. Loads of tiertary characters coming up but stilll plenty of that pyrrazine cab character. Surprising since 97" was a ripe vintage. — 9 years ago

Ruby violet color. Blackberry, cassis, plum, cedar, and hints of green pepper on the nose. Although there is ripe, supple New World fruit on the palate, it drinks a bit like an Old World Bordeaux. Made from Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. — 8 years ago
