Cuvée Royal St. Robert Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Royal St. Robert Cuvee named in honor of Dante and Carlo Mondavi's grandfather who taught them to be committed to excellence. Medium Ruby color with layered aromas of fresh berry fruits with floral and smoky spice notes. On the palate flavors of strawberry and raspberry with cigar box, oak, tea, citrus and herb floral notes. Well balanced, savory fine tannins, long finish ending with oaky earthy notes. Very nice! — 4 months ago

Chenoweth Ranch Pinot Noir 2018

This was juicy but not too much of a fruit bomb. Layers of strawberries and cherries with a subtle earthiness. Mineral driven palate complemented by great fruit on the medium plus palate. 30+ second finish. Wish I had another. — 3 months ago

Reserve Unfiltered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1991

One more example of why I obsess over 1991 California cabs. Your nose is greeted with the whiff of an antique furniture store that soon gives way to red fruit, cedar and earth. The first thing you notice when you start to drink this gem is the vibrant acidity. The palate follows the nose only to be joined by slow resolving tannins. You cannot ask for a more graceful package. — 4 months ago

@Ira Schwartz 1991 still has classic producers making classic California wines. This is a generalization of course…but you know.

Kathryn Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Rarely do I go over the top on ratings but this is very deserving. Just extraordinary in its complexity, balance and profile. Dark and inky in the glass, loads of red and black fruits, cedar and a hint of chocolate. The finish just lingers and the tannins have softened. I'd say this was well worth the wait. — 5 months ago

Private Selection California Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

It is a dark purple wine, with a nose featuring ripe blackberries and cassis, vanilla, tar, cigar and clove. The palate is quite nice, with cherry, blueberry and raspberry flavors draped with a bit of oak spice and offering a silky set of tannins. I paired it with a rib eye and used it in my skillet mushrooms. The wife gave me a big thumbs up, so I know it worked. — 8 months ago
