A gift from a client - and a delicious one at that! Stat sheet says 15.7% alc and it sure shows, this is a BIG Alexander valley cab. Pours a dark purple with blackberry compote, vanilla extract, and dried raisin on the nose - almost port-like in essence but with an old-world smoky flair. The palate explodes with sweet black-seeded fruit, vanilla, and a touch of smoky woodsiness that rounds out the mouth. The tannic wall could age for years and probably needs more time, but I'm glad I dove in. Excellent against-the-grain Alexander valley cab. — 10 years ago

Terrific wine. Expressive nose, mineral, stone fruit, melon. Seamless, flavorful, fresh, and complex in mouth with persistent finish. Quite youthful, will benefit from a few more years in bottle. — 10 years ago

Boyz Raveneau tasting. Light straw color. Honeyed nose with light fruit. Soil and stone notes in the mouth to go with lovely Chablis fruit Tight at first but really opened up nicely. — 10 years ago

Nose is amazing. Stone fruit with notes of honey suckle and vanilla bean. The palate has lost a bit though and it's prob a smidge past it's prime — 12 years ago

Pronounced Alsace Riesling with 8 years bottle aging. Powerful petrol nose and some developing honeyed notes. Lots of stone fruit and citrus flavour still. High acidity and medium (+) body. A long finish revealing a lot of grapefruit on the palate. #wsetschool — 10 years ago

1964 Sec: lovely opulent nose of apricot, nectarine and bergamot. Lifted sweet spices (vanilla) and an almond touch. Rounder, and more layered than 69 Sec. Good texture to balance the searing acidity. Long length, and just all round lovely. Sweeter fruit, stone and Apple notes. Fab — 10 years ago

Light, bright yellow color. Nose has nuts, white pepper & soft tropical notes with a brush of clay. Crisp, mineral stone fruit & slight tropical character. What's amazing about this wine is it gathers the finest aspects of cool climate regions, while maintaining the expansive fruit character of warmer climate wines. Perfectly done. — 12 years ago
