Holding Thumbs

Merry Edwards

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012

I really don't think there's a better Sauvignon Blanc out there. 4 months later, continues to develop; continues to impress. The depth and complexity really are second to none. You'll pay a premium, but it's worth every penny. Two bottles left; holding one for the long-term just to see what it can do. — 11 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005

Pleasing and actually holding up quite nicely. Preferred it to the newer vintages in the vertical. That's not surprising hahaha — 12 years ago

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1969

Holding up nicely! Bit of menthol, a little fruit hanging on and notes of tobacco. Silky tannin and a touch of orange rind on the palate. — 11 years ago

Last bottle of one of our favorites. Based on the last two, I think this is just past peak and would recommend drinking up if you're holding any. — 12 years ago
