Grgich Hills Estate

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

At first earthy mushroomy and a long savory finish. The black fruit came out after about 30 min opened, but was still not as prominent as the peppery spice and earthiness. Balanced acidity and tannin at 8 years out, it might still age gracefully for a few more years. We had this with a nice aged Gouda and the fat and nuttiness of that cheese complemented the wine nicely. I suspect this would be incredible with a rib eye but I got lazy and too far into the bottle before I could go pick one up. Guess I'll have to plan better for the last bottle of this in the cellar. — 10 years ago

So much 🐴🍂✏️🚬 ! Nice to have an "off vintage" in pristine condition. Far from a blockbuster but delicious, soft, and very easy to drink. #birthyear — 9 years ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Delicate Barbaresco that gains some strength with air. Red cherry aromas that turn floral with time, this is far from a blockbuster, but it is elegant. — 9 years ago

Remember if it's not from Champagne, France it's not really champage, it's just bubbly wine.
