Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

This is some seriously good Cabernet. Even though it is 10 years old, and eminently drinkable straight out of the bottle, it improves by at least an order of magnitude of you let it breathe for an hour or two. Highly recommended. — 11 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2010

In a beautiful place for a young LS. Everything in harmony, if a little reserved. You could even call it elegant if you have it with barbecued pork tenderloin. — 11 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Drank the 1986 in 11/2014. Wine was delicious out of the bottle and even better after being in the decanter for over an hour. Wine is holding nicely. Drink soon. — 11 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Quite the funk bomb. Needed time to open but when it did it became much softer and even balanced. tasted like a classic older Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1995

Magnum drank with big dry-aged steaks. Perfect match as this was big powerful wine that show good penetration and focus even with the steaks! — 11 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2012

Slightly sweet, full flavoured, berry notes, velvety smooth. Goes very well with red meats or even a berry themed dessert. Excellent value for the money. — 11 years ago

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Very tasteful. First Artemis Stag Leaps. Decanting is even better.

Still very alive. Great focused acidity and a surprising amount of gas even if it does look like rosé at this point. Delicious! — 11 years ago
