Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2000

Raiding my buddy’s cellar while evacuated from Sonoma fires, and making the most of it. I would say this wine has plenty of age on it to produce a super supple mouthfeel, the aromas were complex no overt fruit just plenty of smokey tones followed by a rich complex flavor. Really nice wine for a Tuesday! — 6 years ago

Fruit forward and delicious! Flavor lingers sweetly. — 7 years ago

Far Niente Winery

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Drinking the 2010 in 2017. Rudy color. Thin legs that quickly dissipate. Bouquet of plum and raspberry, with cherry notes. Flavor is light for a Napa cab, very smooth and slightly sweet with very light tannins. — 9 years ago

Bogle Family Vineyards

Phantom Old Vine California Zinfandel Blend

Blackberry jam and black pepper, with a memorable, spicy finish. Rich and savory, this oozes flavor. Massive QPR. Stock up. It won't last long. — 9 years ago

Merry Edwards

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012

I love this wine--a somewhat creamy and floral SB, the musque clone lends a very interesting flavor and aroma profile. Delicious with shrimp cocktail and our cheese plate, but it would be equally tasty on its own. — 10 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon

It's pretty solid and certainly a big juicy flavor up front. For the price it's excellent but the only downside is the fact that it's gets just a little chalky at the end. I'm nitpicking... — 9 years ago
