Very well balanced. Not too sweet. Don't usually care too much for Gwertz. This is my fave so far. — 7 years ago

Giant Steps

Lusatia Park Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

Reflecting the excellent 2015 vintage in the Yarra but better for Pinots than Chardonnay slightly. Notes of peach and fruit in the riper spectrum with perfectly balanced oak. Good intensity and length. A class act all round. — 7 years ago

Las Bonitas

"The Giant" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Was looking for a drink at the end of a long week. Once I took the first sip I remembered....I was saving this for a special occasion!! Regardless very heavy tannins. Great finish now and will only get better. — 9 years ago

Vine Cliff Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

I find this cab to be a near perfect example of Oakville cabs below $200/btl. The nose takes you into the cask paving the way for a full mouth experience from front to back black and blueberries (like the mouths full I devoured while picking enough for my mom or sisters to make a pie; full mouth/full blast😎) that unctuates (my word) down one's throat smoothly grasping to stay high as it gradually slides "homeward through the haze..."😎 (thx David Crosby)! Buy this wine! Decanted x a mere 30 minutes and it steps up its presence x 4..😎. This is all going on at Salt, the amazing restaurant looking at the ocean at the Amelia Island Ritz; plus, it's Christmas!!! Matt, the bartender is a superstar! — 9 years ago

Chardonnay, Russian River Valley. Unctuous, sleek and full bodied all at the same time. Gotta love the deft acidity, fresh fruit and rich toasty oak. — 7 years ago

Staglin Family Vineyard

Rutherford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Almost 2 yrs ago I wrote: "Half way through a case and the romance deepens. Giant scorched earth and oiled leather nose. Epic battle of extracted dark-red fruit sweetness and a light juicy acidity. All in a smooth-as-silk package. Ageing so gracefully, 10+ years from peaking." After last night I'll add: probably peaked after 2 hr decant, no need to wait but this has the tannins and pure extracted fruit to take it at least 10 more years. — 7 years ago
