Ancient Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2014

I'm a big fan of Sobon Estate Zinfandels because of their luscious fruit forward character. This is just as good. Main fruit I pick up is cherry. Love it! — 9 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Cos is a wine I have only tried a few times. A collector darling, most who collect it are fanatic only about Cos. Kind of like how Pittsburgh sports fans if you are familiar.

These were both exceptional. The 2000 showed some tertiary aspects in the nose, less so in the palate as a strong, tannic structure bolstered my thoughts of much further longevity than the nose hinted to. Flush with the firm and chewy tannin Saint-Estephe wines sport for more time than their southerly Medoc counterparts. Plenty of layered, savory and pristine black and red fruits fan out over the structure.

The 2005 is even more complex and dense and I would have to think will age at a glacial pace as this was just getting going from what I could tell as it was showing so young and tight.

Diamond Collection Black Label Claret California Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014

I'm always a big fan of Sauvy B's and Marlborough hits the spot in terms of taste and price. It's light, refreshing and crisp. Currently drinking this at the W San Diego for my birthday trip! — 10 years ago

Rosso di Verzella Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2013

I wasn't a fan of this on night one. It was slightly reduced and had a muddled, confused midpalate, no nose to speak of, and tasted like a paltry poulsard. But, showing again that even entry level Etna rossos need a bit of time, on night two this has blossomed into beautiful typicity. Red fruit warmed in old balsamic vinegar, mountain herbs, and gritty tannins. — 9 years ago

Unoaked Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2013

Not a chard fan myself, but when it is crisp like this and not too much citrus like a Sauvignon Blanc, then I like it. — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 10 years ago
