Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Always a solid Sonoma cab. Some anise and dark fruit, dark chocolate and anise. Slight bit of dill and vanilla. Drinks young, this could go for a bit longer. Good strong tannins but smooth enough to balance my prime rib. — 2 years ago

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1990

Plenty of American oak on the nose. Dill & vanilla with some dark plum aromatics. Medium bodied with a classy weight & texture. The oaky notes are there, but a pretty array of red fruit & tobacco leaf add some complexity. Structure is receding at this point and the wine is beginning to show some clove & herbal secondary character. Excellent. — 5 years ago

Vina Bujanda

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2013

Probably overrating out of pleasant surprise, but love the clean, bright 100% temprannillo, and integrated overall experience. Trying with dinner, so not likely to identify the dill and leather others mentioned (whatever it is goes great with quesadillas). It reads like a soft negroni, which I consider high praise. — 4 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Viña Ardanza Reserva Especial Tempranillo Blend 2001

Cranberries, warm plumpudding, compost, porcini, cinnamon, dill and gingerbread.
Well-judged acidity adds freshness and intensity to the otherwise slightly gloomy and brooding aromatics.
Very nice.

Ridge Vineyards

Geyserville Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2009

Cellared from release. Color: dark cranberry with watery rim. Nose: berry/cherry tart and a mint Skol bandit. Palate: black fruits, dill and pepper spice. Bittersweet tannins softening but very much still present. 09 has a lot more life yet but I'm really liking where it is now. — 8 years ago
