Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Took a really long time to open up, but ended up being pretty damn good. Not as good as some late 80s/early 90s Dunns I've had though. — 9 years ago

Craggy Range

Te Muna Road Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Black cherry, raspberry notes. Fair amount of acidity. Paired well with baked salmon. — 10 years ago

Felton Road

Block 5 Pinot Noir 2002

First time trying an old Felton Road and a Block 5 courtesy of Can. Forest floor, some black fruits. Great concentration with depth and intensity of flavour. Good length but never felt over-blown or heavy. Shows why this wine is an icon. 94 points — 10 years ago

Gargiulo Vineyards

Money Road Ranch Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Night number 2 on this one. This is the de facto standard for what people mean by "Big Napa Cab" it's rich, it's velvety, it's 100% Cabernet. Would love to cellar this for years but irresistible. — 9 years ago

Fantastic and very well balanced. — 10 years ago

Felton Road

Calvert Pinot Noir 2010

Best of both worlds. Violets, cherries, dust light leather. Boozy! 14% I believe. Lies off after about 30-40. Super delicious and different. — 11 years ago

Nice. Had the '89 a couple months ago and it was killer. Bury a few of these in your cellar and drink them when your kids graduate from college.
