Frenchie Napa County Sonoma County Red Blend

Awesome red blend from three wine counties... Napa, Lake, and Sonoma county. I love the way it wakes up the taste buds and then finishes very smoothly leaving you wanting more. — 8 years ago

Bought this bottle 5 years ago. I really liked this wine back then but my tastes have changed a lot. I was happy that this turned out to be much more enjoyable than I thought it would. Quite nice. — 7 years ago

Salient

Paradise Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Light body. Fruity sweet and sour strawberry aroma. Tastes sweet with a pleasant sourness. Astringent smell and taste dissipates as it decants. Hint of licorice at the end back end. — 7 years ago

Blankiet Estate

Prince of Hearts Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Outstanding wine from Blankiet. Got to spend some time here in August, and the estate looks like a small piece of Bordeaux. The estate is in Yountville, in their little corner called Paradise Hill. What you get is a Bordeaux style wine, showing Napa fruit, but not jammy rich density that Napa Cabs tend to equate to. Blended with all 5 Bordeaux varietals and usually at least 78% Cab Sauv, it shows a fragrant, floral nose with fresh pressed red berries and light gravel dust undertones. The pallet is lush and very elegant, showing ripe black plum and red apple skin, nice olive undertones, with some clove spices and a beautiful lingering finish. This is for the Bordeaux lover that wants Napa. 2013 was a successful vintage, thanks for another great wine Blankiet! #blankiet — 9 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Paradise Springs a Local winery to me developed a well balanced Cabernet that could compete with any Napa Cabernet that I currently have in my wine cellar. Hitting all the necessary smokey tannins and with deep hints of tobaccos and rich flavors of blackberry. Hints of oak seep through the richness of the wine as the dryness of the Cabernet leave and echo of desire to drink more. Truly a wonderfully rich wine for such a local winery. A delectable red for an everyday drink of sorts. — 9 years ago

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards

Estate Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Located just east of St. Helena in Napa where Conn Creek flows out of Howell Mountain. Their 26 acres of vineyards are in the heart of this 40-acre grape-growing paradise. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Petit Verdot. A big wine with complex fruit and spice aromas. Juicy black berry fruits, with underlying smooth sweetness combined with smoke, spice and oak. Well structured, tannins still tight, gave in after 90 minutes, ending with earthy pepper character. Enjoyable now but let it sit in cellar. — 7 years ago

I was up at my wine locker today and there was a gentleman setting up for a private event. I introduced myself and he was the winemaker for Paradise Ridge. Dan was very kind and opened up this Sauv Blanc for me to try as he told me how their winery was completely burned to the ground by the fires in the fall. They lost their entire ‘17 vintage. Since their home burned down, Dan is taking his “home” to people around the country. Just another reminder that even though the fires are gone, the wineries still are hurting and need your support.

This is all estate fruit. Very pale and balanced SB. Tropical stone fruits, and minimal oak presence...almost non-existent. Yet it still has the backbone that shows it could age. Easy drinking. Screw cap.

@Manny Abascal : Thanks! That’s a pink salmon that I caught in Alaska this past summer. My wife and I went up there for our 2-yr wedding anniversary. We fished for 4-5 hours and between the two of us, caught upwards of 35 salmon (pink, silver, chum)! It was fantastic!
