I snuck aboard the space station and made my way to the holding cell where I was told the princess was being held. Upon breaking down the door, I was confronted by a short person in a diaper and odd headdress who said "I'm sorry, but the princess is in another death star".

About that time all the alarms in the space station started going off.

After some brief firefights I found myself cornered, my only escape to done down a shoot into a garbage compactor. So I did. Once in the trash compactor I met a friendly monster called a Dianoga. We shared a lovely bottle of Slow Press while the walls of the compactor slowly closed in on us.

Fortunately for me, I'm the hero of this tale and, as such, made a timely escape, rescued the princess (eventually), and managed to do it all without realizing I had spilled wine on myself. — 7 years ago

Wonderful and sweet without being sugary. Bought a few bottles of this and had friends over when the 2 bottles ran out I thought they were going to protest ! Ran back to Grocery Outlet and bought 4 more bottles :-) crowd pleaser — 7 years ago

Loamy earth, dusty cherries with mushrooms, spiced tobacco, underripe strawberries, smoked wood and cassis. That was just the nose. Palate is a little more unforgiving with more wood, tobacco and spice wrapped in acid and tannins. 8h slow ox and 2h decant and this barely unfurled by last glass. Either 8h decant or 10 more years in the cellar? Whose that patient when life is so short? — 8 years ago

A fine wine for 2002; very closed on nose and palate; slow to evolve and a very delicate style; camphor- cedar oak; acidity currently a primary taste; 13%; tasted in Brisbane — 9 years ago

Slow O for 6 hr prior to drinking. This really great. Seems perfectly proportioned to my tastes. Not too sweet. Great frame. Not hot. Seems a bit more open than previous Greer bottlings I have had. Likely from the blend of the two clones previously split for the Pott Arsenal and Greer, but maybe vintage, too. Whatever the case, I like it. — 6 years ago

What a beautifully graceful wine! A bit muted on the nose (slow ox for three hours - perhaps I should have decanted) but one of the most amazingly expressive palates I have experienced for a very long time. All the elements in perfect equilibrium; one of the rare times that I would actually apply the term 'smooth' to a wine. Tannins still lightly peppery, poised acidity, and an insanely long velvety finish that kept revealing hidden layers of complexity. Like a Burgundian peacock's tail that keeps expanding, adding new layers of graceful shades and patterns to the rolling tapestry of flavour. — 7 years ago

Really well made, beautifully balanced and slow to reveal its depth. Disclaimer: it's hard for me to get past hints of Brett so the nose was a bit of a turn off, but it was not enough to make it difficult to enjoy. Fancy lil wine! — 7 years ago

Tonight we are drinking Machete 2014 California red wine bottled by Orin Swift Cellars. The one with the naked lady on the front of the bottle standing beside her car with the door open. Hummmmm. Well the cork was well preserved. The color is dark and the legs are long and slow. The bouquet is blackberry cobbler. The initial palate is slamming with sweet black currant - whatever that is so Im guessing because I have never tasted a currant. However, I just ordered the juice! The flavor is blackberry and cherry! The finish is very dry with a short ending of vanilla and a tart cherry pie. Simply Devine! I want another sip! It is sweet but very dry! I love it! — 8 years ago

Slow O for 10 hrs. Pretty Cabernet nose and delicate, elegant palate. Nice balance but feels really light. Almost no tannin. Not what I expect in a Kap GV. Vintage specific, I suppose, but the 2011 Roberta’s from last night had much more tannin. Very food friendly wine. — 6 years ago

Magnum 2008 Screaming Eagle Cab. Wine #4 for K's birthday dinner at Press. Really interesting to drink this after having the Harlan vertical at lunch and side-by-side with the Heitz and Martini. This 2008 much more ready to drink than Harlan. We decanted for an hour before drinking, but it was still really muscular and chewy. Was really delicious to drink while having our steak. Awesome treat. — 9 years ago
