Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2019

Made for a nice strong wine for Magic: The Gathering night. Aromas of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate. Strong, lingering dark fruit, chalky minerality and cocoa. This one needs to breathe a bit.

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Okay - fine. It’s a good, probably great wine. Overpriced? Yes. Opus is filled with pretentious douchbags? Double yes. But this is a well-made wine bridging a gap between Napa and Boudreaux. Dusty nose with menthol, earl grey tea, tobacco, flowers, cassis, and creamy dark fruits. It has a really nice velvety finish. — 7 years ago

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Fantastic Bottle. Notes of Black Cherry with a Vanilla Oak Finish. Soft tannins gives a nice, but not overbearing, leathery mouthfeel. — 8 years ago

I love this wine. For some reason it is very easy on my digestive system unlike many others. It has a nice price point as well. — 10 years ago

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

Very nice pinot noir but not traditional by pinot standards. Very clean and complex. Layers of great berry fruit and spice. Interesting textures. Very pleasant finish. — 10 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1985

No problems noted despite the age. Very good, but not outstanding. The nose was great at about 30 minutes-1 hour in the glass. The nose seemed to fade over the evening, but still very nice. Acidity is notable. Earthy flavors, tobacco, dried fruit. Great experience trying a 41 year old vintage! — 9 months ago

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

8.9

The Clark & Telephone Vineyard PN gave me a long lasting impression, and this Las Alturas is very similar in style in its richness and intensity.

Ripe plum, blackberry jam, eucalyptus, fig, black tea, and Chinese medicinal herbs bursting on the nose. Palate has more texture and a more elegant feel with dark chocolate and spice. Firm and a bit dusty tannins. This tastes more like a blend of Zinfandel and Cab. Nice! But again this is not the type of PN I like.

Pine Ridge Vineyards

Clarksburg Chenin Blanc + Viognier Blend 2022

Paired nicely with tuna steak. Nice and refreshing to drink in Florida while the sun is still out. Bottle description: white blend marries the crisp, honeyed citrus fruit of chenin blanc(80%) with the soft floral and juicy peach notes of viogner (20%). Interesting white. — 2 years ago

Freemark Abbey

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Bordeaux style Napa Cabernet, great nose, mushroom, truffle, baking spices, very drying tannins and some sourness even after an hour or two. Stored overnight and tried again and totally different wine, smooth, fruity with depth and a great finish. This is really solid and a nice surprise. — 7 years ago

In my recent experience tasting after opening led me to believe the wine was over the hill. Decent color, but nose and taste way off. Tasted 30 min after opening - worse, same opinion. Left it in decanter - tasted after 2 hours. Wow, what a change! Wine had totally transformed and was now fresh and vibrant. Nice fruit, elegant, beautiful nose. Very enjoyable.

Very typical for some Bordeaux. Initial nose was very off putting but since I've had this wine often we were prepared.

To fruity to be a 9.0, but close. Spicy finish is very nice but passes quickly. Strong and pleasant on the nose. Definitely worth a try. 2013 vintage. — 10 years ago
