Brilliant example of Clare Riesling with lime & quince on the complex palate, all balanced by crisp acidity. Great potential longevity. — 10 years ago

Pleasant Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Beautiful deep ruby red in the glass. Dark cherry and baking spice on the nose. Great notes of cherry, plum, and spice on the palate with subtle but silky tannins. Excellent wine from a neat winery in Napa. — 11 years ago

Panek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This Thomas River Brown Cabernet has a great mix of red and black fruit. The mild acidity of the red fruit is balanced with a bold jamminess of the back fruit. Mild hints of vanilla and mineral also balance out the bold berry flavors. The rounded tannins give this wine the added structure and complexity as seen with French oak, however this wine is California (Napa) hill fruit in a bottle and no hints of Bordeaux are evident. Another winner by Thomas River Brown. — 11 years ago

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

Fantastic bottle of classic Brunello, brought back in 2013, from our visit there. One of the best I've had. Red fruits, hint of vanilla, full bodied and medium to long finish. Outstanding...... at Bacio with my bride, and some Copper River Salmon. A great finish to my B-day that began with a round at Spring Hill. — 9 years ago

De Wetshof

Limestone Hill Estate Chardonnay

This is the best moderately priced Chardonnay I have had in a long time. Lemon/lime citrusy vanilla nose, medium body with generous mouth filling richness but excellent balance. The wine is very young and it will be interesting to watch its development. Excellent wine and great value. 2016 — 10 years ago

Quail Hill Vineyard Old Vines Pinot Noir 2012

Recent visit to Sonoma (Oct 2014). Lynmar knows how to do Pinot Noir. All the pinots we tasted were great and I would be happy to drink on any given day. Quail Hill was one of the better ones. — 12 years ago

Opened at home and believe the wine had turned bad or was from the beginning. Tasted a bit sour and a little carbonated. Was not how I remember during the tasting. This is a first for me opening a bottle and the wine is bad.

Quail Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Really powerful, was actually better the second day. Great with BBQ chicken, much more complexity came out the second day — 10 years ago

J. Rochioli

Little Hill Pinot Noir 2011

Great complexity from one of our consistently favorite wineries. This one is very complex, and developed interestingly over two days. It's started out with a lot of brambly, earthy character, with very muted raspberry fruit, and the Russian River cherry cola fruit came out much more prominently in day 2. — 10 years ago

Forlorn Hope

The Faufreluches Hill Vineyard Gewürztraminer 2012

Forlorn Hope is a producer that has received great press of late, the last couple of bottles I tried, I felt vaguely disappointed, given the reviews. Here at last, is a spot-on dry Gewurztraminer from the Russian River Valley, that is exceptionally floral and deliciously concentrated. Orange blossom, jasmine tea, Cox Pippins. Fermented on skins for seven days, it imparts a lot of texture and even some tannins. Tart, with an almost austere quality, finishes with pink grapefruit and candied orange peel. — 11 years ago

Lauterbach Hill Russian River Valley Syrah 2005

Found my old wine journal and decided to start using it again, beginning with this great wine. Aromas of rhubarb, roses, and red fruit, with a wet granite note. Flavors of strawberry, cranberry, more granite, with a very long finish. I wonder if there is Pinot Noir in the blend, because this wine doesn't act like Syrah, but whatever the case may be, it's stunning. — 12 years ago
