Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1995

Rich, ripe nose. Light on the palate. Not the longest finish. Maybe going down the other side of the hill. Nice wine, nonetheless. — 9 years ago

Isosceles Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Great Paso Robles blend. Great nose showing currants, cigar box, star anise and oak. Wonderful fruit forward flavors of dark cherry, black currant, licorice and a very subtle hint of earthiness. The tannins are extremely well integrated and lush. This is a very nicely integrated wine with lots of aging potential. This is the iconic PR wine and does not disappoint. Cheers! — 10 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

I love how in Spain you can go to a restaurant order a half bottle of Rioja and a 14 year old wine comes out aged perfectly. This is drinking great right now and can't imagine it's going to get any better. — 9 years ago

San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir 2007

Bit to young still will keep my others in the cellar.. Looking forward for next year — 10 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

2009 - This was much better than I expected because it was new to me. It's very smooth, but still has a lot going on and the finish is also smooth instead of high tannins.
The color is a beautiful, deep red and actually went
very well with a nice, meaty pizza.

Nice to read, we have the '11 in the cellar for the birthyear of my daughter. I understood it was not a long living vintage, but your post shows the contrary 👍
