Day Wines

Hock & Deuce Mae's Vineyard Syrah Blend 2014

Third time I’ve had this, each time I’m almost staggered by the nose. Floral and light red and blue fruits pour out of the glass. This is an old world nod being a 85/15 blend of Syrah and Viognier, and although it hints towards brooding it remains delicate and vibrant on the palate. Really pretty wine. Everything from Day I have had has been great. — 6 years ago

Moss Wood

Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Medium plus body and medium plus intensity. Fuller bodied and less herbaceous than the normal Moss Wood Cabernet. Black currant notes. I heard an interview recently with winemaker and owner Keith Mugford who said he is trying to avoid green notes in the wine and would prefer to pick a little later and err on the side of ripeness. I think that’s what happened here and probably more so the following year in 2009. Still a lovely wine. The first of 6 - next one in a year. — 6 years ago

Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2003

This is an interesting one. Little to no acid. Some butterscotch. Almost a cinnamon candy flavor without the heat. I enjoy it but Keith is turning his lip up (as usual) — 7 years ago

Giovanni Rocca

Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

A little bit of leather on the nose. Plums and dark fruits on the pallet. A little tight, but not a problem. A hint of mint on the finish. Makes you pucker when you sip it. Good wine. Thanks Keith Soltis!
Tasted again nine months later. (3/24/18). Much less astringent. Wonderful wine! Thank you again, Keith Soltis!

Drinking so well and was improving the longer it was open. So fragrant and aromatic...crushed potpourri, cherry pipe tobacco and baked blackberry pie. Dusty on the palate and still youthful. Dark cocoa dusted dates, roasted plum, blackberry and raspberry pie with strong acidity and tannin. A great drinking window. Thanks @Keith Fisher — 6 years ago

Seavey Vineyard

Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

A little tired. Some black fruits here, but a lot of vegetal notes as well. Didn't really do so hot especially sitting right next to an 01 Colgin that pretty much wiped the cab competition right outta the park. I definitely believe bottle variation is in order here, as 97 was a pretty darn good year for Napa cab overall and I would love to see what the bottle that was aging right next to this one tastes like. Love Seavey wines, and muchos gracias to Keith for opening this one. — 7 years ago

Had the ‘96 at the winery 3 years ago, and it was tired, too. It seems like twenty years or more might to be too long for these.

Extremely Bordeaux like. Leathery and herbal, but not necessarily green. I actually enjoyed this for what it was as it’s always a treat to enjoy older Cali wines. Black fruit, graphite and bay leaf are present. Completely integrated. Drink up!

@Shay A just wasn't in the mood today. Came close to that 87 SLV but couldn't pull the trigger. I don't think I have this one much of a chance and I think your experience was about an hour of air after mine! (Aka I should have gone back to it!)

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

88 mouton with Keith harding art work. The nose upon opening was sublime. As it decanted and opened, it was a bit disjointed. Has a lot of potential but at this age I think it’s not going to come together. The nose weakened, and the body to finish is a bit jarred. — 6 years ago

The balance here is impeccable! Sweet oak, red, blue and black fruit, plum and nutmeg on the nose. Cascading dark chocolate/Andes mint on the palate to go with ripe fruit and mocha...youthful tannins. Just wonderful. Thank you @Keith Fisher — 6 years ago

Domaine Guion

Deux Monts Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2010

Ripe black cherry, a bit of tart raspberry, green tobacco leaf and green pepper. Lovely intensity of savory/herbal with a background of fruit on the nose. Pencil shavings on back. Palate leans taut, mineral and still a fair bit of tannins. Not as polished as @Keith Levenberg ‘s bottle, but maybe in a more awkward phase with a bit less baby fat. — 7 years ago
