Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Classic RRV Pinot, the 2012 is showing beautifully already! Bright red raspberry and tart cranberry with subtle herbal notes. Oak on the palate, but not too heavy handed....solid!! — 11 years ago

Jinx! We were so on target with each other's note! Big on the palate but not too oaked or jam bomb-y. Great balance and lush! Tart red fruits. Delicious.

Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo 2013

Solid, juicy Langhe Nebbiolo from a classic Barolo producer. Nose of slightly dried red cherry, rose petal and lavender, fennel, orange peel, and a bit of volatile asphalt-y character. The nose echoes the palate pretty congruently in terms of flavor, with some eucalyptus freshness and a bit of extra mineral intensity. High acid, nimble, medium (-) body, and medium (+) tannic intensity. Tannins are surprisingly softly textured despite their intensity. I want this with a blue cheese and jalapeño-topped burger. — 9 years ago

Smoky. Very big. Fruity. Over ripened dark fruit that turns into an earthy wet wood. Always solid. #dressshopping #t&c — 10 years ago

Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Father in law casually opens this up in on a Sunday. What is he sick in the head?! Solid wine... still a baby. Give it time to mature and it'll rock your socks. So much is going on here: floral on the nose, and dark ripe berries on the palate. I can still taste it 15 mins later... — 9 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot

Dark ruby red, almost black at its center. The nose is bold and alluring with aromas of cherry, prune, vanilla, cinnamon, brand new cedar chest, and the occasional flick of black table pepper right to the back of the nostrils. Medium bodied with solid structure but still smooth and lush. Flavors of blackberries, plums, mint and pencil lead. It finishes with plums, mint, and some big tannin. — 9 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Solid vintage from one of my favorites. Black cherry with a little bit of vanilla. Great nose but surprisingly not as full bodied as I thought it would be. — 11 years ago
