Yarden Merlot 2017

Very good merlot. Low acidity, medium tannins. Very oaky with a sweet vanilla, dark fruits, but with a dark chocolate finish, maybe with a pepper. Still: one of my favorite labels. — 5 years ago

Mount Hermon Petit Verdot Blend 2014

A great introduction to wine from the Holy Land. The high elevation gives a balanced tannin structure. With a dark cherry, and hint of pepper finish, this wine can handle any type of meat or cheese. — 8 years ago

Yarden Odem Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Pretty and elegant. Probably one of the best oaked chard I've ever had. The oak component is well integrated with just a buttery aromatic hint. On the palate, it shows chardonnay's characteristic citrus, with a bit of yellow fruits like mango and pineapple. Mineral and super. — 9 years ago

2003. Purple fruit and maybe cranberry, a bit of cedar, touch of herbs, a little leather, a whiff of lavender. At 12 years maturity very nice indeed. Even better with 2 hrs breathing. — 10 years ago

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Las Alturas' Spanish for 'the heights', a fitting name, this vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. 4th gen Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner from a family with farming and winemaking roots in Napa since 1906. Met Joe several times. Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot I have come across, almost looks like a Cab). Rich berry flavors with cedar, spice and vanilla. Lingering ending with sweet oak notes. Consistent quality Nice! A Fav! — 5 years ago
