Second wine of our Greece exploration. Nemea region, Agiorgitiko grape. Loaded with fruit, very tannic, low in acidity. Defenitly a great wine but less my palate (while my wife scored this one higher than the Naoussa). Nevertheless, up 'till now Greece is still rock 'n roll! — 7 years ago
In today's Oasis of fine wine, this 1994 was Definitely Maybe a Rock 'n' Roll Star that was clearly made by a Shakermaker to Live Forever. Whether Up in the Sky or in Columbia, people will recognize this as a Supersonic wine, particularly for the otherwise difficult vintage where the rains did indeed Bring It on Down, driving winemakers to Cigarettes & Alcohol. The soft tannins would make for flexible pairing choices for Digsy's Dinner; this Mouton Rothschild could be Married with Children's chicken nuggets and be just great. — 8 years ago

Why, yes, a good Pinot. Lots o cassis n red currants n some strawberries. Pretty acidic yet fair structure. Should probably lay for a few years but then! — 6 years ago
Another excellent Tobin James everyday wine. Aromas of fruit and berries, inky black, well balanced. Very nice — 6 years ago

Gritty n pretty-- a lil bit country, a lil bit rock n roll-- white grapefruit rind, almost running a red light and your first kiss on your second date. Happy days :) — 8 years ago
Explosive blackberry liqueur, caramel, toasted oak, licorice, and plenty of heat even after 13 years. But unlike newer vintages, the rock n roll tannins have mellowed, leaving a creamy and smooth finish but still layered and a mild bite. Just proves these wines need age... lots of it. But in a great year, worth the wait. — 8 years ago
Little bacon on the nose. Nice blackberry pie too. Rich and ripe. Black strap molasses. Full. Extracted. Bombastic. But tasty too. All the fruit and oak come together for a harmonious experience. Like loud rock n roll in your car. Turn it up and sing along... — 6 years ago

My favorite N&N wine, hands down. Oak nose with mature blackberry. But the neatest thing about this: the nose has THE true expression of Oakville dirt. Got to smell the dirt at Paradigm and the nose of this wine ALWAYS takes me back to Oakville. Sweeter, dense blackberry fruit with a hint of vanilla and almost a purple note. Middle expresses the notes of the Oakville dirt. Lavender. Finished with nice, expressive notes of Oaked blackberry and POWER. For the heat they take among some winos, the one thing that cannot be denied is that they make consistently very good wine. — 8 years ago
Crisp n clean, delicate and yet complex , I'm in love with a rock star — 8 years ago
Showing its rhythmic licks and groovy colors (Deep Purple and bold) presciently savvy to a rock-n-roll world well before its time and blasting some bright-lights bling showing bing cherry gradually toned down by dried fruit right out the archer bag (often strapped across my back) while on brisk hike along wet leaf-lined trail through a late-evening forest (think musky mossy spice) as a 3/4 moon shines its magic over a distant blue pacific as the Zin unctuously offers a bigger-yet blueberry coating, front to back, and soft tannins bring back the dried fruit and a leisurely downhill creep to that distant ocean thereafter rewarded by a sit down on the seaward primary dune gazing at the moon and, of course, another hit. It's a rock-n-roll love affair in a bottle, top to bottom. Get some...😎 — 10 years ago
