Celebrating my parents’ anniversary. I’ve always enjoyed Amici’s Spring Mountain expression. Rich, brooding dark fruits, cool eucalyptus, and Christmas spices. Lovely tannins and overall mouthfeel. Bottle signed by proprietor Bob Shepard. — 7 years ago

En Magnum. Nice early effort from @Mike Smith - drinking very well. Still some tannic grip on opening. Nice dark fruit/plum, a bit of leather and a touch of green pepper - just enough to add character without dominating. Really nice mouthfeel as well. — 10 years ago

Good, not great. Classic 2000 vintage. Nice fruit but not special. No complexity. Dark nose and dark flat fruit. No bad for the Super Bowl. — 13 years ago

Went with the Pacific NW for the big game. Aromas and notes of black fruits, pepper, and meat. Appropriately big, powerful, but agile. Terrific. — 11 years ago

Let breathe for an hour and 20, absolutely delicious no sharp edge until about the 2 hour mark then down hill fairly quickly. Fantastic in the mean time though, had with steak, garlic ciabatta bread and sugar peas with chocolate Petit fours for dessert — 8 years ago

Awesome cab. Explosion of red fruit on the palate, turning dark on the finish with tar and spices. Floral nose, powerful mouthfeel with a nice touch of tannin.. I'm going to have to look more into these guys. — 9 years ago

Lovely yellow hue opens up a powerful nose filled with dirt, grass, rice, and honeysuckle. The palate proceeds to get smothered with a perfect amount of oak coupled with honey and lemon. A mildly tart finish makes this the perfect summer white. Great recommendation by the local rep and Happy 4th to everyone!....a mid-dinner update....massive green apple comes through with food! — 9 years ago

This is more refined the second time around. Pulled a few fun bottles and this has gotten to a place that it's beyond the simple side. Leather, dark cherries stand out on the nose. Dark fruit on the palate is sitting beautifully. Tannins still slightly aggressive but it was enjoyable. I'd still pick this as a Cabernet blindly. Wish I would've bought more! — 9 years ago

Monkey 47 Dry Distiller Gin. Slightly hazy, water white, colourless. Pronounced intensity of perfume, juniper, lingonberry, violets, lavender, orange and grapefruit zest. With water added, more perfume and citrus notes to the fore. Dry on the palate. Warming alcohol, medium body, pronounced flavour intensity. Long finish. Very complex. Outstanding example of a premium gin. — 11 years ago

Schweiger Vineyards '09 Cab Sauv, Spring Mountain, Napa Valley. Recently released, exemplifying their typical 5 year plan from harvest to release. The only other vintages of this particular wine which I have tasted are '05 & '06. All are consistently rich, smooth, & intricate across the floral, fruit, nut, & shoe leather spectri. An extraordinary value in luxury class. — 12 years ago

A delicious Cabernet off of Spring Mountain. Dense cherry and sweet vanilla are framed in French Oak with a supple lingering finish. You won't find this on at Binney's. — 14 years ago
