Morro Bay Vineyards

Split Oak Estates Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Jammy and full but not acidic. Short but light finish. — 12 years ago

Jaffe Estate

Metamorphosis Saint Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

This one took is on a journey from alcohol heavy in the beginning to Bologna and fruity and ending smooth as silk. Had it at Mr Parkers in Palm Springs ... No corkage! Went well with the Kobe short ribs and a Sirloin. Wine was better than the food by a mile. — 10 years ago

Southern Right

Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Not as zippy as NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Oily mouthfeel, lime zest, short finish but plenty refreshing! Makes it a lot easier to sip by itself, especially on our 80 degree night — 11 years ago

Estate Bottled Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2005

Supple, ripe and round. The elevated alcohol in this wine drives the aged aromatics to a fever pitch. In short, a beautiful wine. — 11 years ago

'La Chapelle' Vieilles Vignes Anjou Cabernet Franc 1996

That's a duck breast, escarole & white beans, beef broth rice in the background. Duck is the great 'other' red meat for claret pairing.
