Bold berries up front. Dry middle. No lingering aftertaste. Great cab. — 3 years ago
One of the first vineyards we visited on our first trip to Napa. This was part of a Valentine’s Day tasting they did. Partial to 2010’s because that is the year we got married, so it all worked out. Amazing wine and we can’t wait to open the older ones we are sitting on. — 4 years ago

Nice glass tonight while contemplating things — 8 years ago
Absolutely amazing! Drinking form a magnum. Decanted 1.50 hours. Still strong and focused. The mint is starting to hit. Sleek. This wine is on rails and rolls like a train. No need to wait any longer. — 9 years ago
Not a fan of white wine, but this wasn't bad — 10 years ago
60% Cab Franc, 25% Cab Sauv, 15% Merlot. Rich blackberry and blueberry, minerality, pronounced fruit with nice acid balance. Tannins integrated though reemerging after 2 hours before settling back. A delight. — 11 years ago
Dark cherry, cigar box, leather, plum. Not overly high in tannin. Good acidity with average heat. Complex build. — 4 years ago
25 year anniversary of this wine. I have been a Peter Franus fan for a long time. This zin is medium ruby, black and white pepper, clove, cedar, red cherry, vanilla on the nose--the wood is definitely pushing through, but not overpowering. On the palate, more blue/black fruit emerges, blackberry mainly. Tannins still pretty dry, alcohol high. I think this can rest even longer but it's great now too. Awesome!!!

Love this wine! Spicy, raspberry, Bing cherry, dark plum and hints of vanilla oak. Lush, long, delicious finish. Drink now - 2020. — 9 years ago
This is an extremely unique Pinot. A good berry, red cherry nose, but an extremely dry, old, taste. Can't really place it but a delight to drink! — 10 years ago
Like this a lot, in good company too! — 11 years ago

1996 Calera Jensen Mt. Harlem Pinot Noir
Our New Year’s Eve wine is 1996 Calera Jensen Mt. Harlen Pinot Noir. The oxidation is prevalent. After 25 years, the wine has certainly passed its prime, but it is fun enough to enjoy. Goodbye 2021.
大晦日、2021年最後のワインは、1996年Calera Jensen Mt. Harlen Pinot Noir。酸化はだいぶ進んでいる。25年の時を経て、確かに飲み頃を過ぎてはいるが、十分に楽しめるワイン。 2021年よ、さよなら。
