Schloss Johannisberg

Beerenauslese Rheingau Riesling 1999

Maliciously magnificent and majestically magical with it's masterful maelstrom of mature marjoram and fruit marmalade...among the best man may make. Stellar. Just a straight up stupendous stabber with it's stupefyingly sturdy structure, stand-alone stone fruit and St. Steven ordained staginesses right out of the stable. — 7 years ago

@Carl Fischer i think it was off. It was a non-labeled bottle from the estate. I've had the 2012 and this was nothing like it

Home Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Softest vineyard of the single vineyard series. His wines do well with at least 5-10 years on them so they can develop. 92+ for now. $65 — 8 years ago

The Premier Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

I think this is my favorite wine from steven kent. Would love to try this against some good vintage lineages. It's got a great nose, mouth watering acid and flavors, and enough tannins to get your attention. Not dark dark fruit. More mixed with prominent red fruit. Really in a nice spot. These wines are really meant to have this kind of age on them. — 8 years ago

Bin 7625 Steven Hunter River Shiraz 1989

Bin 7825, I guess it's just a different vintage.
Fine, it is incredibly only what you desire from an old, mature wine; complex, but so easy, smooth and elegant. Long and focused.

Lencioni Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This is the lencioni single vineyard. 2013 was the first vintage. It was obviously the weaker sibling of all the single vineyards for that year. Kinda thin and simple. However, the winemaker adapted to the vineyard because this is a much stronger showing. It's the most western vineyard (livermore is east-west so west means cooler...think oak knoll equivalent). It is hillside. Again, a cabernet style that is going for acidity and elegance. Olive along with fruit. 90-91 — 7 years ago

Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Definitely got earth and a little band aid/age. Which surprises me for a 2013. Little olive. Reminds me of steven kent here in livermore. The tannins and fruit suggest many many years ahead of this wine. I dig it for the price. This will probably be fantastic in 10 years. — 8 years ago
