Howard Park also showed how well their Cabernet ages by showing this wine from the excellent 1999 vintage. At the Langtons Classification tasting 17 weeks ago. — 7 years ago

Varietal characteristics. Dark fruits, some spice and pepper. Strong tannins, but still smooth. Drinking well now but could happily sit another few years. — 7 years ago

Black fruited, sandy tannin, oak driven spice. Gorgeous Marg river cab sav and would have rated higher but toward the end the oak started to distract a little. — 9 years ago

During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind.

This was a treat for me to be able to serve. Tom Farella only produces this Alta bottle in special years. The ‘07 was his last one before he brought it back in ‘14. Cabernet dominated blend complimented by a bit of merlot from the famed Farella vineyard. Supremely balanced. Raspberries, plums and blackberries on the nose and palate, but the finish was plush. This is about at its peak and will stay here for another 3 or so years. Oak was almost fully integrated. Very happy to have two of these still sleeping. This was the group’s consensus “wine of the day”. — 7 years ago

15’ Farella La Luce Sauvignon Blanc. Stone fruits. Lemon peel. Healthy dose of acidity. They sell most of the there grapes to Realm & Lail. Food pairing SB Edit- Tasting much better then upon release date! The acid has calm down quite a bit after about 30 minutes in the glass. Very enjoyable. These high acid wines...don’t drink them so cold ,cellar temperature is just fine! — 7 years ago

In honor of receiving my Realm shipment today, I thought I'd open a bottle from last year. Pale straw color. Expressive aromatics of pineapple and lemongrass. Grapefruit, crisp green apple, and pear. and Enough acidity and minerality to balance out the fruit. A touch alcoholic. Consistently one of the best Sauvignon Blancs in Napa. They changed the name to "Fidelio" for 2016. Will wait a bit to open those. — 8 years ago
