A replacement for the Pairing as a Marry Edwards regular bottle. Definitely sharper and less pronounced stone fruit, but nicely balanced and went well with all dinner courses. Bottles went too fast to see how they opened, so questionable still as a stand-alone (probably great); high marks for elevating the usual crisp white wine dishes. — 7 years ago
Full bodied and spicy. Great with grilled ribs — 7 years ago
Mike Smith has done it yet again with this 2014 big bold Napa Cab. Myriad - Dr. Crane, continues to be one of my favorite Napa Cabs since 2010. Paired to perfection with steaks from Capital Grille, I wish we could spend every Saturday night with this bottle. Unfortunately the 2015 is already sold out. — 8 years ago

Ali Story, of Smith-Story Wines, was in town and did a nice tasting at Classic today. A pleasure to meet and very unique and enjoyable wines.
This is an elegant style Pinot...lots of brambly notes, kirsch, and cedar bark. All red and black fruits here. Ali said that the barrels this pinot is done in comes from Russell Bevan. Quite the opposite style! — 7 years ago

She snagged me unknowingly from behind spinning spices from both far and near barely dressed in burgundy satin and a slightly nasty soft silk which I feel, inhale, turning her my way, her eyes engage pulling me in close, then closer her lips on mine she drips then slowly touches, thoroughly seducing as her silk clings, clutches as her blueberry essence goes red - the music changes a note, then a riff, and then she dives her fingers gingerly wave reminding me to have another hit... — 9 years ago
