Just got into Napa from a long day of traveling. Starting in Malibu for India's MBA graduation to Napa for celebrations! We decided to grab a heavy varietal and stick with Napa. This wine was a deep and dark ruby red, actually almost purplish black that completely coated the glass. Very interesting nose that was a little tight to start. Finally opened up over the next hour with some blackberries and freshly broken branches. Started with some softer dark fruits, but also coated with thick blackberries. Not overly sweet at all. Moderate tannins (7/10) and moderate plus body. Some red berries with their bright acidity near the finish. Moderate plus finish. Can see this becoming more integrated with time. Drink till 2022. 89+ — 9 years ago

From a little research, it appears this bottle is actually a grape that's a cross between Cabernet Franc and Zweigelt (i know, be still your beating heart). It was perfect with the Slovak food at the Riverside Restaurant in the Chicago suburbs. The wine featured a berry forward nose, with deep earth notes underneath, a balanced tannin to acid structure, and a touch of herbaceousness. — 10 years ago

Great acid and medium length, perhaps mission a touch of fruit in the palate and not overly pronounced on the nose — 10 years ago

One of my go-to Californian IPAs. Hoppy with high alcohol (7.5%), but extremely balanced, refreshing with great depth of flavour. — 10 years ago

Rediculously delicious bottle of pinot. And yes if Gary's name is on it, I buy it. Family owned Star market in Salinas has the best selection of local wine. Shared it with my girl Patrice and the waiter at our local in Malibu — 9 years ago

What a steal! $7.99 at Trader Joe's and it's the embodiment of a Marlborough Sav Blanc - inexpensive, dry, herbal and minerally — 9 years ago

I'm an IPA guy, but this is a great alternative. Full bodied, but not the overwhelming taste of a stout. Great crossover for an IPA drinker as it has just a bit of hoppy bite to satisfy just about anyone. — 10 years ago
