Rockpile Road Vineyard Zinfandel 2003

Big rich full bodied wine! Wow after 14 years it still needs more time. If you like deep dark fully extracted fruit that possesses chocolate, plum, blackberry flavors like I do, then this is your wine. Good luck finding a bottle..... @Paul Treadway @Evan Bienstock @leon egozi @Eric S @Eric LaMasters @Jacqueline @Vanessa D @Carl Fischer @Jim Trobaugh @James Parker Huston, CWE @David L @Warren Sapp @TheSkip @Terri Walker @Terri Walker @Warren Sapp @jesus g @Kimberly Anderson — 8 years ago

@Isaac Pirolo I think Sebastiani is a great example. I have found some of Charles Smith to be great and some to be fairly weak for the price, especially under K vintners. Equally with Melville - inconsistent. But that's just my two cents.

@David L agreed I love Herman Story but he doesn't sell a $20 cuvée. 😜

@TheSkip i should stay out of this but just wanted to through another winery into consideration - Orin swift - most recently they have had good results on most of their wines and I like K Vint too - not going to try mollydockers sub 50 for trust your opinion greatly

Château Figeac

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Wow. This is full of cedar box and smoke, dark fruit, that french terroir of scorched earth, its medium body with smooth tannins. Decanted 1 1/2 hours.
I've had several vintages of Figeac and this one is a no nonsense vintage. Peaking in the next 1-3 years? Like my location Paul?

Ellis Alden Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2015

This wine possess a great deal of potential. The vineyard has the capability too. Honey, melon and a coated citrus fruit marries with bright acidity.

@Rob Brobst III : Though it's no longer the same name, the new property (Brasswood) has their own label...Cab that is Coombsville fruit and a Chardonnay. Haven't had either, but hear good things. Some rockin labels make their wine there like Montagu, Addax and Moone-Tsai 👌

This is an excellent example of honey, vanilla, toasted brioche, and very elegant body. Refined bubbles reminiscent of the Dom Ruinart.
