Dakota Shy

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Another example of how great the wines being made by Dakota Shy are. Todd Newman and Tom Garrett have a knack for making great wines. This Cabernet, even very young, sends a message to every other iconic Napa cabernet they have something to contend with. Lots of black fruit and blue fruit on the nose with incredible flavors of blackberries, plums, and currants. I love this wine. — 8 years ago

Late Harvest Russian River Valley Gewürztraminer 1984

Wow! One of the oldest vintages of any kind I ever tasted. Deep, thick and amber colored. Oxidized very much like a Sherry. Still a hint of spice, apples and pears. Did not notice typical Gewurtz floral notes. Great wine to wind up a tasting. Thanks to Garrett for letting us taste this one! — 8 years ago

Vintage Reserve Adelaide Hills Shiraz 1990

Surprisingly youthful. Still has some lively fruit and lots of sweet vanillin oak, in addition to lots of secondaries. — 10 years ago

A moderately priced bottle at vintage, this is a wine that unexpectedly has proved the test of time. Still jammy up front, it still provides decent tanins and structure mid and late palate. Drink now lest you lose the urge.

Dark fruit with green, herbal notes. So fresh and so clean-clean @Rob Lateiner with the #doublecorkscrew method.

Detert Family Vineyards

Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Inspired by @Peggy Hadley and her visit with @Tom Garrett - I had to open my favorite vintage of this wine so far. So incredibly delicious I can’t say enough good things. Silky mouthfeel, great red fruits, graphite, leather, medium acidity, soft tannins - just so incredible. Pop and pour goodness. — 8 years ago

I wanted to add that this wine is a very young baby. Easily has 10+ years left in the bottle to get close to peak.

Il Quercione Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

This is a beautiful bottle of Brunello from my good friend Garrett and Tiffany! Amazing nose, and a long complex finish. Perhaps could have benefited if I had waited another couple of years but I just couldn't wait!! — 8 years ago

Chapter Nine Mt. Veeder Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

More restrained flavor profile than the J. Garrett. Cedar and graphite nose, with dark plum spice on the palate...tannins grab hold at the end and dont let go for just long enough to think about it and take another drink... — 11 years ago
