Vintage 2003.
Nice rounded and velvety but not opulent at all...
A natural deposit has revealed itself over time. Served with a piece of deer with creamy potatoes and fried field mushrooms... — 11 years ago

Paloma is definitely a benchmark for Napa Merlot and this '07 was a ringing endorsement of that. Rich black fruit, plenty of smooth tannins hanging around and it kicked ass with the deep fried ham we were cooking up. — 11 years ago

Fino like in character but completely fresh. So salty! Great to drink with fried oysters, fried sardines, fried anything. — 13 years ago
I only wish I could've enjoyed this with fried chicken the way the masterminds at Dirty & Rowdy intended. A bouquet that is simultaneously wild and refined, loaded with fresh pear, white tea, lime custard and even a faint crème de menthe is evolving into something new in the decanter every second. So enjoyable 👌🏼 — 11 years ago

2007 Chateauneuf die Pape Beauvastel blanc this stunning wine started out with fresh apricot and fennel pollen. It evolved into honeysuckle, bees wax with a white pepper spice. We had it with home fried organic chicken and cream gravy finished with 25 year old sherry vinegar. The wine won. — 12 years ago
