Well balanced, smooth, easy to drink. Could almost pass for a Pinot! Fruity, floral, light for a CDP. So pleasant. — 8 years ago

Stampede Pass Cabernet Franc

Lovely red for the price point. I believe the 2013 Cab franc would be a drinkable crowd pleaser if you need to take to a dinner party. Fruity and smooth, not entirely complex so easily liked by most palates. — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1997

Roel van der Burg
9.7

My first DRC. It brought me back to a few years ago, when I was standing in front of the DRC vineyards watching the horse work the land and thinking: 'probably I will never drink a wine like this in my entire life'. Four years later there is a glass of spicy and perfumed La Tâche in front of me. A milestone to me! Amazing to say the least. But of course there was not enough time to fully comprehend what was going on. Hope to pass by this station once again... — 11 years ago

Casa Nuestra

Dorado Late Harvest White Blend 2010

An awesome winery my brother-in-law found by luck, this place had a very hippie vibe. The wines were delicious. Although I bought a dessert wine the day before at another vineyard, this one was too good to pass up. — 13 years ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 1989

What a phenomenal bottle! Could not believe just how rich and deep the flavors of red and purple fruits, baking spices and leather was - especially considering the age. Velvety tannins offered a sublime mouthfeel. Don't pass this up if you get a chance to taste it. — 8 years ago

Villa Arceno

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2006

Firing. On. All. Cylinders. Wine was purchased about 3.5 years ago in a six-pack and was intended to be consumed rather fast. Back story: ran into a 12 pack of 2005 "Prima Voce" close to 10 years ago at about 10 bucks per bottle and was told it was "ok" for an Italian blend but it wouldn't last longer than a year or so (but noone knew for sure). It. Killed. Come to realize the only reason it was available readily in the states was because Kendall Jackson acquired them. Fast forward about 6 years from that and requested to find this one. Today, Arceno is still under the KJ umbrella. Have slowly been drinking on the ones I found a few years ago. This wine is rather aromatic even from Coravin. Dirty raspberry, grilled meat, Italian spice on the nose. Medium + density and mouthfeel. Acidity has died down quite a bit, allowing a floral dirty raspberry to show up front, losing a lot of sweetness. that I remember,Leathery and "bloody" in the middle. Finishes with some brambly herb, green olive, and a hint of black pepper spice. This wine is RIGHT at the top of the hill now. There are many 12 year old Chiantis that I would gladly pass on, but this one is a definite "yes please" even at 12 years of age. Ratings likely in the 8's because people just don't give this one the time that it needs. D — 8 years ago

Domenico Clerico

Aeroplanservaj Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Went to a Private Equity tasting and tasted this and couple other vintages side by side. Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, earthy spice and hints of floral. The palate is big & chewy, with ripe cherry, leather, espresso & cacao, rich & robust. Savory finish with toasty oak notes, structured tight tannins. An excellent and enjoyable wine you should not pass up, if you can get one, but let it develop for another 10 years to unwind before popping the cork! Consistent quality. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago
