One of my favourite BDX wines, always a bargain considering the quality. Bought in Saint Julian at the local store there with some friends from those days. Brings back a smile and I served it with melted Vacherin Mont d'Or and garlic bread. Love it! — 8 years ago
Lingering jammy finish, smooth, juicy, red fruit, high alcohol, reminds me of edmunds St. John rocks and gravel but on steroids. — 8 years ago
This was a real treat. Not sure if I'll ever see another bottle of it again. 😭 — 9 years ago
Dinner with Flora Springs Proprietor John Komes at Toscana Country Club, Indian Wells CA. The 2013 vintage has not been rated and needs maturing but has flavor that may mature to better than the 2012. — 9 years ago

Very special opportunity to try this ~30 year old GSM from one of my favorite winemakers. Dark spicy fruit still very much alive with enchanting secondary characteristics--smokey mesquite / campfire, earth, rocks, leather on both nose and palate. Thanks @Max Kogod! Got any more? 🙂 — 8 years ago

Savory side has taken the lead, but this is still showing plenty of fruit. Yes, some CA Syrahs can age! — 10 years ago

This is superb. It mitigates the fact that I'm being lambasted with Sir Elton John at heretofore unsuspected volume levels. — 11 years ago

For as much ritz and glamour that is typically associated with Napa Valley, this week highlighted who the real rock stars are in their community... the farmers and firefighters. Haley Wight is the sixth generation to farm her family’s estate, the historic Lewelling Ranch in St. Helena, originally established by her great-great-great grandfather John Lewelling in 1864. She also happens to make extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon. So extraordinary, that I’m going to skip writing a note and just tell you that Robert Parker hits the nail on the head... “The wine displays gorgeous licorice, lead pencil shavings, black currants, loamy soil undertones and a touch of barrique. Dense purple, it has a full-bodied, multi-layered mouthfeel and a stunning finish with good acidity and velvety, well-integrated tannin, alcohol and wood. This is a scrumptious, full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 15 or so years. 96 points.” — 8 years ago

A nice medium body red, perfect for March Madness — 9 years ago
Very Rhone like in delivery. Pepper and spice. Evolved nicely but no fireworks. Smooth and easy without raising the roof — 9 years ago
1986, maybe 18% Cabernet Franc - really exceptional, with a great density of the mid palate, layers a secondary and tertiary and a very alive tannins structure — 10 years ago
Had this at Zoso restaurant on St. John Island. — 11 years ago
