Holy moly, this is stellar juice. Immensely concentrated, lush and near-creamy texture with killer acidity. Finishes a touch hot, but who cares? This is dope. — 7 years ago

Every now and then I try an old Napa cab and I am reminded that this country can produce amazing wines that age very nicely. This is a stellar example. — 8 years ago

Clos des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2007

Bramble berry, compost, juicy red fruits, kirsch and off the vine wild raspberries (per my notes)....the Grenache dominates and it's in a really stellar place. Thank you @Martin G Rivard for the hospitality and ever flowing wine tap! — 7 years ago

Deep gold with white mousse and persistent bubbles even in a wine tumbler. Classic rich style with excellent balance between subdued fruit and earthy, bready notes. All that depth plus "ancient" grapes to boot! Stellar with dim sum. — 9 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Shawn and I both agreed this had the nose of the night!!!! Huge, opulent and incredibly enticing. I could literally taste of the wet leather when I was enjoying the nose. It's beauty is timeless. I have to tip my hat to any producer that can produce a wind which would hold up for 65+ years. Truly, truly incredible. It involved in the glass for well over three hours with no signs of fading. We literally went back-and-forth all night between this and the Mouton in regards to which would be the WOTN. Absolutely stellar. One of the best Latour that I've ever had. The only thing better than drinking my last bottle of this vintage is sharing it in the company of our great friends Shawn and Jennifer Rose. Nothing makes a bottle more special than the company of those with whom you are sharing it with.@Shawn R @Christine — 7 years ago

Mt. Brave

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

Not a stellar vintage for most producers, but this was a welcome addition to the cranberry pecan pie! Fresh pumpernickel, blackberry, red licorice, sea urchin, treacle, black roses, melted dark chocolate and mint nose. Pronounced black currant, black olive, graphite, boysenberry, burnt brown sugar, dark red cherry juice, saffron, and struck flint. Lingering silver tea-like tannins! — 7 years ago
