Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This was a house warming gift from a old friend. Love the nose and legs on this wine. Absolutely great for watching the sun go down next to a fire with your favorite someone! — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Big quality fruit bomb - 2006 - drinking softly now, open 2 hours. Would like to see if the fruit resolves over the next few years. — 11 years ago

Always solid in my experience; seldom spectacular.

@Eric Waxman I agree. Zins aren't really my thing but Ridge does make ones that I enjoy. The #carignan was my surprise favorite of the morning.

Ridge is always reliable. Biale and Turley are my go to choices for Zin.

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2005

9.3

Always love comtes de champagne blanc de Blancs. Although this 05 is a baby, it is already a great wine. It offers a beautiful salinity, toasted brioche, almonds and mandarin orange. I would hang onto it for at least a few years and enjoy over the next decade or more — 11 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

Very Pauillac like served blind and tasted next to the 86 Mouton. I guessed 86 Dominus as I have had this wine more than a dozen times over the last few years. — 11 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Some of that dank Bordeaux funk! Blueberry pie, plum, pipe tobacco, leather. Smells like this will keep showing more layers over the next couple hours. — 12 years ago

Long Shadows Vintners

Pedestal Columbia Valley Merlot 2012

Would like to try this next to the Leonetti Merlot — 11 years ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2004

2004 vintage from Clape. Deep ruby hue. Violet and floral, very plummy - dark fruits. Hints of sweet spice, nutmeg and cardoman, smokey notes. On the palate, medium plus body, high acidity - integrated and refreshing. Medium plus, plush and ripe tannins. Long finish. The plums to the fore. Still quite primary and youthful. Should develop nicely over the next 15 years. Open in 2025. — 11 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

Great wine, but still very young and a little tannic. Finish was smoother and longer on the last bottle I had of this one. Will save my next bottle for years. — 14 years ago
