Gold apple, lemon custard, candied ginger and tropical fruit. Hints of marzipan and twill cookie wrapped up in a creme brulee-like texture — 6 years ago

The nose has black fruit the give away to red raspberry nice spice. On the palate it is silk with soft red fruit. The finish leaves you wanting more! — 8 years ago

Vinnie and I feel like Lewis could arguably be the best winemaker out there period. So so so good. Hadn't ever had the Hillstone - we had been saving this one - wowzers — 10 years ago

Really ballsy and unique wine. Today’s tasting in Yountville will go down as one of my favorites of all time. First I’d ever heard of this grape, grown in Paso. Black fruit covered in licorice. If you go (and I’d highly recommend it), go for the cheese pairing it’s well worth it. — 7 years ago

Not in any danger of going over the hill. Still generous with fruit, but developing a savory edge. Great Napa Syrah. — 7 years ago

Easy drinking, cherries and peppery spice and everything nice. These pinots are always a bit bigger, but the heat wasn't noticeable and its lush mouthfeel complemented a great conversation with a friend and mentor. — 8 years ago

Softer, rounded black fruits than in July. Blue fruits are starting to show a bit more. Cherry chocolate follows. Soft black earthiness with a touch of soft minerals. Light vanilla presence and medium barrel toast come out on the soft elegant finish. Good acidity is the one lacking element in their 08. It's off just a bit. 9.3-9.4 with the Ribcap steak...Michael Mina's-Bourbon Steak. — 9 years ago
