Ponts West White Blend 2012

Different blend from 2011: much more Viognier and Picpoul Blanc. Aromatic and high acidity, given backbone with subtly rich texture. — 11 years ago

Bella Vineyards

Maple Vineyards Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2013

Surprisingly complex and nuanced. There is an undeniable floral component to this wine that is quite atypical for Zinfandel. Mineral-laced, spicy, elegant and simply delicious. Aside from a hint of blueberry jam this is in no way your typical Dry Creek Zinfandel. Weight and texture are beautiful. Loving the lavender and violets. Easily the best wine I’ve had from Maple Vineyard. This is Zin! — 8 years ago

Picpoul Blanc 2015

Ripe pineapple and cotton candy nose. Tart apple plus viscous rich mouthfeel. Layers of acidity are intriguing. Team effort. — 9 years ago

Will's Hills The Will Red Rhone Blend 2011

Wowsa, had this for a few years and what an amazing surprise. A bit of fruit, small tannin so very smooth ending that lingers. — 10 years ago

Rudius

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

9.3

Nose is exotic, with sweet oak and ripe cherries. Palette is textured and multidimensional. Tannins still provide a nice upright structure, but are resolved. Finishes with a panoply of rich dark fruits, tobacco, maple syrup and nutmeg. I think 08 in Cali was nothing special, but the Rudius winemaker continues to pull off some splendid acrobatics.
If you have this in your cellar, don't leave it too much longer.

08 is better than it was given credit. I've had some 08's that surpass 07's.

Fully agree, David. And for the top producers like Lamborn, Rudius, Cade, etc, I don't sweat the poor vintages at all.

The 08 Regusci Patriarch I had last night was stellar.
