Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer and sits on a tree covered knoll overlooking the Napa Valley, with caves that extend for over a mile. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruit with sweet oak spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, melon and apple, with vanilla spice, rich & creamy. Long finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with mineral notes — 4 years ago

Capsicum, peppercorns, and cedar. Silky red fruits. A blind taster’s dream Chinon. Always good, but a stunning value in great vintages. Happy to have half a case of this. — 5 years ago

Amazing. Half bottle. Incense, baking spice, wild fruit, stoney minerality, balanced acidity, medium body and light color. Beautiful! Thanks Doug! — 7 years ago

Excellent Port and after drinking one always ask myself why I don’t dink more of them. There was some black plums, prunes, vanilla and some oak. This was a half bottle for $16.99 — 3 years ago

Birth year vintages are a roll of the dice but luckily I landed on a pretty solid classic - 1978. So for my birthday this year, we opened an LLC and wow was this perfect. The sommelier was surgical in removing the cork which split in half but he managed to extract it. The nose on this wine was a 10 - loads of cassis, licorice, dusty library and leather. Palate was extracted cassis, leather and great acidity and liveliness, just like my 44 year old self. It’s just pure magic when bottles this old perform - happy Friday everyone. — 4 years ago

Nice lush tannins, maybe not as light as previous vintages? Blackberry, graphite, light leather, the usual tar & dried roses, damp earth, touch of oak. From Glass Half Full (Provincetown) — 6 years ago

2005 vintage. Courtesy of @Bill Bender Menthol, blueberry skins, tobacco in the nose. Medium-bodied. Elegant, chocolate chip ice cream finish. Holding up really nicely and would seem to have another half-decade in this phase of life. — 4 years ago

Very disappointed. I had a more mature bottle fail to hold up last week so I had an itch still to scratch and went younger but still ready. Or so I thought - perhaps should have waited another 10 years?Poured out half with a Coravin and it just never got going. Very understated and reserved. Even with a few hours it never opened up. Perhaps it’s bottle variation but I will try again later this week with the second half. — 5 years ago

Half bottles are a delight. A lot more developed than the last encounter, in a very good way. Nougat, nuts and sweet oak spice coming through to complement the rich fruit. Delicious. — 6 years ago

From a half bottle with a low level. Pretty interesting but understandably flabby. Looking forward to the next one;-) — 8 years ago
