Slightly dry and broken cork, but a quick decant saved the day. Deep purple color. Intense aromas of pine resin, wild herbs and the aromatic note 'balsamico'. Sturdy and dry, this can take more age. Paired well with a mix of home cooked tapas, but really shines next to meaty dishes and aged cheeses. — 11 years ago

Perfect #DrinkNapa Labor Day BBQ wine! Equally delighted by the northern Rhone-esque beauty of this mountain Syrah and the news that Lagier-Meredith's barrel recovery has saved much of last year's vintage! — 11 years ago

💜💜💜💜Northern Argentina. Extreme vineyard. Ridiculously allocated, and saved for a special occasion...Malbec and Cab make nice, offer up astringent but beautifully smooth tannins, black plum-cassis, pink peppercorn, gun flint, blue smoke, lilac and cocoa. Long finish. *A rare treat* (🐂🐂and yes, had this w/ steak) — 12 years ago

Pinot Fin. From a friend who knows: The best massale... About a few hundred different genomes from top producers... Cuttings saved back then when they replanted after phylloxera epidemic. — 11 years ago
