Dark cherry wrapped in a delicate robe of smoke. Sweet and pure. Not clumsy like many Mercury wines. — 10 years ago

What a surprise, from the farthest back corner of the wine cellar. Too cold unfortunately, cloudy from suspended stuff. Nice dark color with orange edges of course. Still showing some fruit but not the high notes; sweetness in the finish. No off flavors or weirdness. More nose than most wines of any age I've had lately. Bought at Beltramo's for $9, way back when, probably during sabbatical at Stanford 1984. Very nice with burritos from Anna's, a scene sort of like the one at the end of Sideways. A really remarkable wine, worthy of fine dark Swiss chocolate.. — 12 years ago

Been drinking it since 1993! Bottle was under $30. Don't believe Davis Phinney in charge, but still yummy. Try his location wines too! Other top OS Saldo and Mercury Head — 9 years ago

2011 Pax Grifin's Lair Syrah. At Diovola in Geyserville. Initially almost perfect. With some magical Diovola food somehow morphed into the smoothest, most wonderful 100%syrah. Thank you Punky Mahle for this most generous anniversary gift. — 11 years ago
1989 ridge California carignan rose geyserville Sonoma this is a most wonderful wine with incredible aromatic complexity, silky smooth with fine balance. Lovely spiced fruit, impressive purity, very good length. #RoseRumbke thank you @RidgeVineyards — 11 years ago
Absolutely love this Zin. Dark fruit followed by an earthy must. Smooth and balanced on the palate. Right up there with the 2011 Geyserville from Ridge, which was similarly excellent. I think both of these Re better than 2011 Ridge from Lytton Springs. — 12 years ago

Made an impromptu stop at Stonestreet the last time we were in Napa/Sonoma. Had a little unexpected time between tastings. Man it was sure HOT when we were there in September. I remember the estate was in great condition. Beautiful scenery and some of the views from eastern Healdsburg and Geyserville are hard to beat. It was about 95 degrees AT THE WINERY in the middle of a Napa heat wave. This wine hit the spot. A nice, crisp, lighter bodied wine with a crisp side to it, yet didn't feel as though your tongue was burning. Edges on this one were rounded even from the start. More of a lemon curd, but also some lime and honeysuckle. Middle had good weight, a little silkier than I had anticipated. The finish is lighter, mostly lemon and lime. Not a powerhouse, but was really nice on that 95 degree September "summer" day in Healdsburg, and pretty darn good tonight. — 8 years ago
