Another excellent Tobin James everyday wine. Aromas of fruit and berries, inky black, well balanced. Very nice — 6 years ago

Okay - fine. It’s a good, probably great wine. Overpriced? Yes. Opus is filled with pretentious douchbags? Double yes. But this is a well-made wine bridging a gap between Napa and Boudreaux. Dusty nose with menthol, earl grey tea, tobacco, flowers, cassis, and creamy dark fruits. It has a really nice velvety finish. — 7 years ago

Love what Pax has done over the years. I have a few bottles of his 2003 Griffins Layer... It's a beautiful wine that is probably mind-blowing at this point; however, this wine shows restraint, refinement and a sense of place. Looking forward to owning a bottle in a few years. — 9 years ago

An old friend I haven't visited in a while. The best way I can describe this is: a very well made fruit bomb. Overly sweet and ripe, but otherwise excellent. — 10 years ago

Tasted blind... And guessed it was 2009 Leoville Las Cases! This is a powerhouse and more proof that vintage charts are made to be defied by over achievers. This is all potential... If you buy it, bury it deep in the cellar! — 10 years ago

Beautifully made by nuns. More fruit in the 11 vintage than the '10. Apple pie, citrus and honey. Love this wine. — 10 years ago

Acid fresh tart juice, somewhat oaky, long complex finish with minerality — 7 years ago

9.2

From CA vineyard royalty. Improves as it warms and with air time. This is a lesson in balance. Not a steely chard full of tropical flavors yet retains its minerality. Not an oak laced butter bomb but merely hints that it saw a minimal amount of oak in it's lifetime. Only 12.2% which is incredibly refreshing in a chard, especially one from a warmer climate. Tragic that 2013 was the last vintage before the chard vines were ripped out of the vineyard. — 8 years ago

Deep color. Intense nose of white chocolate, red cherries, some blue fruit and vanilla. Full body, beautiful balance and long finish. So good. — 9 years ago

Well made, great stuffing. Still a little tannic and tight. I'd hold or decant several hours. — 10 years ago

One of favorite boutique Napa winery - decanted 2 hours - love the 09, 10 and 12 - not tried the 13 yet - singing in prefect pitch - color is deep red and stunning, smell is intoxicating, taste is with every sip reminding me to smile and the finish is damn right runway model sexy - in honor of @Carl Fischer and the amazing Christmas carol story last night and as a tribute to all delectable folks including the WNH gang - my 2nd seasonal posting is an adaption from Home Alone 2 - "hold it right there - and you respond by saying "this is wine drinkers everywhere" - I say knew it was you as I could smell you near my cellar - you were at my cellar last night and You been drinking with everybody and not always smiling - you been drinking with "Snuffy. Al. Leo. Moe, with the gimpy leg. Cheeks. Boney Bob, Cliff" - you say "I am mistaken and have been not drinking with everybody and when you drink your wine you do smile" - so I say I believe you but tommy gun don't so I going to give to the count of three to pour a glass of wine and start smiling one two and wait you are smiling so keep smiling and Merry Christmas you wine drinking animals!!!! — 8 years ago

Beautiful blueberry and cherry fruit, very compelling front with fruit and booze, but most of the tannins sadly didn't stick around. Since I'm drinking as a cocktail wine for Mad Men finale, it works just fine. — 10 years ago

Dark red in color. A bit of spice on the nose, but mostly fruity. Peppery as expected for a Zin on the palette. A lingering finish is present, but not too long. A good solid Zin to represent the Paso Robles Wine Region. — 10 years ago
