R. Buoncristiani Vineyard Pinot Noir
Vibrant, bright, very nice on its own and very complementary to lightly seared shrimp, burrata and rustic sourdough. Goes real fast! - 2014 — 7 years ago

Aether Wine Co.
Matrix Pinot Noir 2014
One of the best pinots I've had in a long time. The nose opened up after a bit and displayed cedar, antique, cinnamon qualities. Started drinking it cold, but once it warmed up a delightful young cherry peeked through the acidity. It's a bargain, too! — 5 years ago

Colgin Cellars
IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2006
Colgin Tasting - 2006. While it's a Parker 100 wine it wasn't the pick on the day. Still lovely with a velvety well integrated tannin blanket giving the dark fruit a superb base to bind itself to. Excellent length. Now, I've heard people bang on about this wine - 2012, but I know there are mixed reviews. While the diehard Napa peeps have no issue paying big money for this, I wonder if they are buying into the label more than the wine. It's said to be a superb vintage over all. In the glass it was your typical sweeter Bordeaux-esque wine. I'd suggest a little too warm. 2013 (66% Cab, 25% Merlot, and the rest of its friends). Great wine. Time will tell if the discussion of 2013 being better than 2012 will be true in general. But I did enjoyed this a little more than '12. Great length and the same great tannin matrix. Young and chewy, but you know where it's going. She's a keeper. — 7 years ago

Maryland Cabernet Franc 2015
Mashup: 2013 Ankida Ridge Pinot meets 2006 Breaux Nebbiolo —> Intriguingly delicious! Nuanced and highly aromatic, this has the acid of the afore mentioned with this herbal, veggie, floral & dark fruit matrix going on. I will get another bottle to age as well as the 2016s (2 offerings). Far from classic, it’s style dares to goes where only the regional Oenophiles tread ;) — 6 years ago
