Unfiltered Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2012

I am the sort of wine snob that will prefer my family's livelihood over all others. This was the last year my grandfather saw his vines, but didn't see the harvest. — 11 years ago

This was poured through a Zazzol aerator and just spilled out Cassis, black olive, cigar box and vanilla/brown sugar from the glass. Should she well for another 8-10 years. Delicious! — 12 years ago

So good. Super second my ass. This wine is so delicious year in and out regardless of vintage. A total bargain compared to its thieving neighbors — 13 years ago

This is in a great drinking window. A little funk on the nose that blew off and revealed a dense core of blue fruit and smoothed out tannins. — 12 years ago

Wow! This is drinking beautifully at the moment. Rich and quite fruit forward. Fully smoothed out tannins with a velvety, chocolate/coffee note that carries on throughout. Delicious and a happily surprised. — 12 years ago

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

9.3

A very solid Rioja, meaty, dripping in fruit and spice. Nicely balanced at this point with room to get better. Not sure it deserves the 97 points doled out by decanter, however. Pleasant and the right price. — 12 years ago

53 years in waiting for this group... What can I say. Started off much younger than the label would say.. Like the old grand dame of St Estephe.. Nice fruit, wonderful nose, and a pleasant finish to round out a great bottle of wine from a era gone by. Shared with friends like it should be. Looking forward to 2015 to do it all again. — 12 years ago
