Nepenthe Alder Springs Vineyard White Blend 2006

I have zero experience with aged whites bit I have to say I really liked this. Great Carmel color. Peaches, vanilla, butterscotch. No oak. Makes me want to drink more white. — 8 years ago

@Eric Shanks The color should not influence your decision. More white wine please:)

Pinnacle The Good Doctor Pinot Noir 2013

A very powerful, almost muscular pinot, still needing a lot of bottle time to show its true potential. Savoury in nature. There is an initial taste of sour cherries along with a hint of raspberry and dried date, from there the palate is strongly savoury in nature. Forest floor, roast meat (pork?), cigar box, clove and wet clay all vying for attention. The tannins are very fine, but still a little chewy, especially on the sides of the tongue. The oak still quite evident. The balance seems good, and those savoury flavours linger seemingly forever. A deeply intriguing wine. It’s not the most accessible of wines, but I like it (a lot). Should be an absolute stunner in 5-10 years. — 8 years ago

Winemaker's Selection Late Harvest Gewürztraminer 2013

Great sugar / acid balance. Nose sends down some serious lemon curd, marmalade, honeysuckle, syrupy lemon, lime and bitters, concentrated bickfords lime cordial. Lengthy finish, great way to finish the night — 9 years ago

Paul Draper's Ridge

Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

Enjoyed at Nepenthe after a week of tasting in the Sierras, Napa, and Sonoma. A very appropriate punctuation mark; still the benchmark disparate corners of the wine world seemingly can agree on. It's classic, timeless California in a bottle. — 8 years ago
