Home Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006

Red fruit with a little spice, at the moment it shows a little diluted in the middle. I'm not sure whether it is in a dumb stage or fading. Not bad but not up to the competition. — 9 years ago

Outshined by others in the flight as it lacked the depth of others.

Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009

Beautiful nose of sweet cherry and sassafras. Medium full body, with medium high acid and astringent tannins. Probably better in a few years or more. — 10 years ago

I can understand how many people are in love with this one. Creaminess, honey,. It's like a nectar. — 10 years ago

Cloudy Bay

Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc

Really fun wine. Has more in common with white Burgundy than NZ Sauvignon blanc. A little funky, citrus, minerals and full bodied — 11 years ago

Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1985

Tried the '90 recently, spoke of how amazing a producer of Californian Cabernet it is, but just needed a little more time, this '85 is well & truly on point, everything is in balance, there's fruit intensity yes, but the development/complexity/layers are really shining through, outstanding stuff. — 9 years ago

Oyster Bay

Marlborough Pinot Noir 2014

Hey now,, hook me up COSTCO. Pomegranate red light earth nose, above the tree line clarity. Eases you through from start to finish. Gave a slight morning camp chill before drinking and believe the change in temp added to the ability to transport me out of southern heat and humidity. — 9 years ago

Gr8 write up - 'slight morning chill' AND who knew the big box store had something to offer?

Skyline Vineyard Syrah 2009

Nuanced, not in your face Syrah. Food overpowered a bit so pair appropriately. Good terrior in there that I enjoyed. — 10 years ago

Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Lovely structure, lots of acidity veining through layers of cherry and earth and a certain herbaceousness that I can't put my finger on. As per usual, Nathan and Duncan crush it. — 11 years ago

Our K&L Redwood City staff party at LB steak was fantastic- nothing smaller than magnum allowed! This double mag has been in our cellar since release and has hardly moved at all! Big, powerful, Mountain fruit! — 12 years ago

Estate Monte Bello Vineyard Merlot

More oak and structure than I expect from a merlot, not as soft. In other words, I liked it because it didn't taste like a merlot. — 10 years ago

Cline Cellars

Ancient Vines Contra Costa County Zinfandel 2013

Fantastic, easy-to-drink red. Hit the spot! Very jammy, delicious fragrance (can I get this in potpourri??), light tannins, light body. Very tasty. I like a little more bite to my reds, but this is a fantastic wine. — 11 years ago

Chablisienne in character, but a totally different expression of top-flight Chardonnay. Needs some air for the oak to integrate, but once it comes together, it really sings. Precision, focus and some exotic fruit. — 11 years ago
