Stephanie's creation, made from fruit from David Fulton, is really amazing. I met Stephanie in 2005 while she was pouring at Casa Nuestra in Napa. She's since started making her own Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011, which is gone, was very Bordeauesque, replete with subtle dark, fruit, leather and earthy notes of fall. Her 2012 is much brighter, and is typical of a finely crafted Napa Cab. Well balanced, with cherries, cocoa, cinnamon notes. It has a solid backbone that will hold up to at least 10 years of aging (in my humble opinion), however, kudos to you if you can wait that long. It is truly a dream wine. — 10 years ago

Aquavit brings me home. This is Occidental. A #cocktail with Linie aquavit, Grand Marnier, Amaro and a Fernet Branca rinsed coupe glass. Linie is shipped from Norway around the globe while it is aged in old cherry casks. So awesome! Garnish with an orange twist and you're good to go. — 11 years ago

Pretty awesome tasting a piece of Oregon history. At Laurel Ridge we found a case of this and is tasting nice. Little petrol, mostly beeswax and paraffin wax. Still bright acid surprisingly despite the snow globe. — 12 years ago

Nice fruit driven Pinot from a tiny producer making 175 cases. Pretty impressive . Quiet night with Steph watching her favorite Hollywood Foreign Press Golden Globe Awards! Bravo 2 all . I say 93+, on wine. I defer to Hollywood for the rest! BRAVO CHARLIE PARIS! — 11 years ago
