The 2009 Kings Row is an interesting wine with rich tobacco, cherry and licorice aromas. This has a lusciously smooth taste of the red fruit, pencil shavings with a slight hint of spices that lingers on your palate makes this a nice guilty pleasure. It is costly and a nice treat but there are others out there that have a better value to quality ratio for those that don't want to drop big bucks. But if you can swing it please treat yourself. #kingsrow #calistoga #checkerboard — 10 years ago

Excellent Merlot. One of the better Merlots we have tried and we've tried a bunch. Wonderful dark spice up front with a dry dark cherry and chocolate finish!! Mmmmmmm!! Definitely getting more bottles of this on our next NY trip!! — 11 years ago
A wonderful craft beer. Has the taste of an easy to drink lager but with a mild and not too overpowering fruitiness. — 11 years ago
Very, very sweet and 19% alcohol content means it takes all my cares way quickly :) Just a great night cap to end the day perfectly. — 10 years ago

The wine of kings! 👑🍷 — 11 years ago
Extraordinary! Fresh and dried fruit -figs, apricots, dates under powdered sugar, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, pain d'epice and candied ginger -all dynamic and in motion like a mighty sprinter whose broad, soaring gate seems like his feet never really touch the ground -the Usain Bolt of Tokaji and hopefully restorative like this King of Wines and Wine of Kings is purported to be -what we read lifted kings from their deathbeds and back to their healthy and hale selves. Perhaps it is but wishful thinking but I sense I am already on the mend like a plant roused in springtime by rising temps and rising sap. — 11 years ago

Winery notes. 2008 Cabernet Franc
Rich flavors of a fall harvest, complex flavors, soft tannins, while capturing the essence of the smoky pepper finish. Silver Medal-2011 NY Wine & Food Classic

Blown away by this one. First had it at Mirbeau Inn after and incredible dinner. Fantastic drink. Smells like dark chocolate. Notes of dark chocolate in the drink. Some smoke. Notes of pepper. — 9 years ago

This wine reminds me of the the question "Who taught you to eat bread fit for gods and drink wine of kings?" -Epic of Gilgamesh 2000 BC. There is no doubt that this is the wine of kings! — 11 years ago
Sipping Fine Wine
For more than 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the symbol of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the 3 decades following the repeal of Prohibition, and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking. Dark Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and earthy spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with herb spice. Soft tannins on a savory frame carry the wine to a lingering finish. — 9 years ago
