Reserve Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2015

Wow, the scores posted are very low. I’m going a bit higher here. Tart, cherry, strawberry and huge mouthfeel. If you know yamhill - then you’ll know this wine immediately. Christmas with my parents and two younger brothers....and my two nieces and two nephews. 6 kids under 13.....Xmas eve and it’s my dad’s birthday and my 13 year old nephew’s bday. Party party party. It’s what we do best. — 7 years ago

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Kudos and many thanks to @Martin G Rivard for sharing this exceptional VHR!! 2 HR decant and paired with a homemade barbecue chicken pizza (really, this carries well!). Thanks to @Ryan Mitchell for purchasing the sweet potato soufflé and corn bread sides to complete the meal. Inky dark with hint of tobacco, smoke and red currents. Tannins already smoothing for a 2013, but this could sit and improve for years a la @David Trumper. Many thanks again @Martin G Rivard, look forward to returning the favor!! — 9 years ago

@Martin G Rivard much thanks for allowing @Daryl Calhoun and myself to enjoy a VHR bottle this afternoon. That's what it is all about - wine and friends. Your bottle filled weekend made made us want to break out quality stuff. (See next post) This will age nicely and @Bruce Phillips has something special here. 70 degrees in Chicago during October is rare, but so is VHR - thanks again #martinthegreat

Paloma

Napa Valley Merlot 1995

Some oak and just a touch of an herbal aroma, still pretty solid structure, balanced, long finish, should be excellent with the prime rib. Kudos to Jim and Barbara for this lovely old Merlot. — 6 years ago

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

So beautiful and clear in its purpose, titillating on the nose and fulfilling its promises beyond. Balanced and velvety dark red fruit, hints of black tea and cassis but all in a more Old than New World Gestalt. Lots of secondary stuff emerging you just want to sip it slowly. If anybody wonders how well these age, track one down, it’s so worth it. Kudos @Cathy Corison for making this distinctive and enduring bottle! — 7 years ago

1978 La Mission beautiful ruby color throughout. Nose of complex sweet raisins, fruit cake, burnt embers, spice and tar. Delicious mouthfeel of earthy fruit with balanced acidity, sweet tannin and velvety 60+second finish. What a great wine drinking at its prime! Kudos. — 10 years ago

Failla

Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

PNP > Beauty from @Ehren Jordan Kudos &
Cheers 🍇🍷👍🏻👏🏻
95 Points- Vinous
“The 2014 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard is a total knock-out. Dark, rich and explosive, the 2014 possesses magnificent depth and pedigree to burn. The flavors are dense, sweet and wonderfully nuanced throughout. A wine of extraordinary, almost Nebbiolo-like aromatic intensity and firm tannin, the Hirsch is going to need at least a few years to unwind, but it is very clearly a special wine. Hints of rose petal, mint and sweet red berry linger on the long, enticing finish. My tasting at Failla was one of the highlights of the two weeks I spent in Sonoma earlier this year. Ehren Jordan's 2014s are superb across the board. The wines are made in a mid-weight style that balances forward fruit with the aromatics and phenolics that these cooler sites tend to confer on their own... Simply put, 2014 is one of the most impressive vintages I have tasted at Failla.” (AG) (1/2016)

Really well made

Kudos!
The words are “look at the legs on that”!
Gobs of glycerin, teeth smacking dry tannins that are seamlessly integrated right now. Great expression of the Dr. Crane Vineyard.
If you have this wine in your cellar enjoy now & for at least another decade.
