Jaffe Estate

Metamorphosis Saint Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

This one took is on a journey from alcohol heavy in the beginning to Bologna and fruity and ending smooth as silk. Had it at Mr Parkers in Palm Springs ... No corkage! Went well with the Kobe short ribs and a Sirloin. Wine was better than the food by a mile. — 10 years ago

Trinchero Napa Valley

Chicken Ranch Vineyard Merlot 2010

Usually Merlot is not among my favorites, but clearly I have been drinking the wrong wines. This wine is wonderfully smooth and balanced with medium-high tannins. Aromas of tobacco, raspberry and pomegranate fill the glass. It has a full bodied pallate of dark cherries and nutmeg, with hints of cocoa and a bit of spice that continue into a long enjoyable finish. Drank at VIC's in NE Minneapolis for mystery wine night, and paired with a Kobe beef burger! ($36) — 9 years ago

Château Meyney

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Gary Westby
9.5

The St. Estephe's of 1996 have impressed me since release. It is hard to believe they are 19 this year. This Meyney is young for its age and has the claret virtue of refreshing easiness. It also has superb curranty fruit and no shortage of complexity- and it doesn't need bulk to make it complete. The Meyney was great with our super savory Kobe Fred Steaks! — 10 years ago

Pale straw color with delicate bubbles and a creamy mousse. Aromas of fresh dough, pippin apples, and faint notes of ocean spray. Additional flavors of brioche, apple tart, and lemon custard. Rich, long finish. The perfect wine to celebrate the 2014 Kobe Marathon! — 11 years ago

Lonely Heart Cabernet Sauvignon

Big full bodied cab showing rabbit tobacco, licorice, & dried cherries along with deep long finish greatly enhanced by decanting, turbo twirling, ... helping to balance the tannins relaxing the finish. Great match with Port Land Grille's kobe meatballs (located on the Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, NC fringe; groovy spot!). Salute — 11 years ago
