Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2011

Really nice and pleasant blend. Young and a bit cranky but rewarding with some air. Dark black fruits, fennel seed, turned wet earth, coffee, cedar, cocoa, tobacco, and dried flowers. Enjoyed the acid that balanced the forward but fine clay-like tannins. — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Lots of oak, dark fruit, smoke and earthiness on the nose. Very much a full-bodied 21st century Napa Cabernet. Fruit forward with silky tannins and a long luscious finish. A fantastic pairing with my NY Strip and Lisa's veal. — 10 years ago
