Yet another wine that has presented perfectly on day two. I have more respect for Cali producers who produce juice that is able to stands upright on day two. It's still ultra-rich, and deeply textured. Kudos to the winemaker. There are also some very interesting text referencing early English monarchs on the front label. Will ask my art historian daughter to assist with decoding the faint signals. — 9 years ago

@TheSkip as a renal dialysis tech for 3 years, I was fully aware that I was incorrect. I was having some fun while making a whimsical point - sorry doc. I won't do it again... sniff.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

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. — 11 years ago

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. — 8 years ago

Vine Hill Ranch

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
