Excellent non-Napa style Chardonnay from Napa :) — 7 years ago
Another serious Sam Kaplan concoction (Sam is in the photo...not the one with the snake). A Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the famous Dr. Crane, as Piedras and the Weitz Vineyards. Deep color, staining the glass (and anaconda decanter...that will never be the same) and layering the sides of the glass with beautiful, plush opaque runs. Full-bodied to almost dense, but still trademark Kaplan lushness, balance and great finish. Dark cherry fruits and more chocolate than cocoa on the tastebuds with a touch of spice on the nose. Already a stunning wine at 2014, with proper decanting. I am sure it only gets better!! — 7 years ago
07' Tuck Beckstoffer Cabernet. You guessed it...Comes from 3 of their iconic vineyards. The Beckstoffer DR. Crane/ Missouri Hopper/Las Piedras (what a combo)100% new oak. Little more then 4 barrels made. 07' was the inaugural release.
The color is purpleish/black. Decanted for 1 hour... needs more. Full-bodied & elegant. I think most people would smell this & guess "Napa cab". Black cherry, raspberry, cigar-box, oak. Pleasing, with an extended & inviting finish. It's got another a good decade in front of it. Crowd pleaser... — 8 years ago

Manuel Manzaneque Suarez Mil Cepas Cencibel vino de la teirra de Castilla 2014.
Fine, elegantly textured, energetic tempranillo from a small plot of 1000 vines on unique patch of sandy soil. #GrandCruMancha — 7 years ago
Dried cherry, mushroom, leather, balsamic & floral notes, great acidity. Still fresh & vibrant. The reason for trying this wine was that the Krause family bought this winery for 6 mil euros and then bought the Vietti winery and will incorporate some of the Serafino Vineyards into the Vietti wines in the near future. — 8 years ago
Very dark purple colour with well defined dark red berry nose. Mouth puckering sour edge (in a good way) with juicy blackcurrant around a dark coffee core with mint notes. — 9 years ago
