Reserve Lot #83 Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir 2012

My last bottle of the 2012. Dense purple red. Plum, red fruit and a little earth/funk in the nose. Raspberry, boysenberry, plum and cola in mouth, tart, mild skin astringency on finish with lemon, plum and cola in aftertaste. A nice Central Coast Pinot with character, produced by Reluctant Wine Co. — 9 years ago

Reserve Lot #96 Dry Creek Valley GSM Grenache Syrah Mourvedre

Dense and intense, Southern Rhone reminiscent. Good acidity. Feels like there is a bit more residual sugar than optimal due to the fruit, but that's not necessarily the case. Still dry enough. Tannins appropriate in their robustness. Satisfying, great value. — 11 years ago

Reserve Series Lot 130 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The wine has a golden color. On the nose there’s a touch of smokiness with aromas of apple, pineapple, butter, caramel and walnut. It’s full bodied with a buttery mouthfeel but still has a sharp, piercing acidity. There’s flavors of pineapple, vanilla, banana and ginger. It finishes with some heat, spicy ginger, and pineapple. — 9 years ago

I Small Lot Reserve Napa Valley Merlot 2013

It's an all round player - fruity, full-bodied and smooth with little acidity and tannin. It pairs well with pretty much everything, including beef, chicken and salmon. It's a good wine to bring to any gatherings. The price point is reasonable for a vintage wine - C$22. — 10 years ago

Beringer Vineyards

Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Total score while at Beringer. Half bottles of 2006 PR for $33! Yep. Besides the price, the wine has to be one of the more noble bottlings of the decade for my palate. Super pure in the expression of Cabernet Sauvignon; Blackberry, tobacco, touch of coffee; ALL of the cliches descriptors without being boring. I still drink coffee everyday and I would welcome this wine into my home as frequently. Full bodied but BALANCED all the way through. The front palate is a solid intro, the acid was the surprise component that links the finish to the front beautifully. Nice job — 11 years ago
