IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2007

I completely forgot to post this. My brother from another mother Kirk Alexander uncorked these 2 Absolutely Phenomenal 100 point beauties for us to enjoy just because I came over!!!!!! ! Damn., I’ve got to go to his house more often!!!!!! All kidding aside., we were celebrating Veronica’s (his beautiful wife) birthday and what a truly special Evening.it was. There’s nothing better than uncorking a special bottle with friends that have become like family.
We love you Veronica!!! And put up with Kirk just because of you🤣😜🤣

Kongsgaard

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2012

The 2012 is still holding so damn tight. Definitely more approachable than a year ago but please full decant for 1.5 hours otherwise you are just wasting the best Chardonnay made in America. Everytime I open a bottle it reminds me of the excitement of losing my virginity...the anticipation is killer, but the actual event is magic! — 10 years ago

Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Meursault Chardonnay 2001

Straw gold, heavy in the glass. Spicey nose. Notes of apricot, citrus, petrol, tan spice and white stones. Powerful in the mouth. Massive acidity matched against a wall of ripe fruit. This was like an untamed lion in a cage that wanted to get out and roam around. Unfortunately it was consumed before we got the full impact of the necessary air time. — 5 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2008

Inky purple with gritty tannins, spirited fresh silky fruit. A substantial brooding wine with miles and miles left in the tank but so damn good right now. The ‘08s and ‘09s from the North CA Coast that I felt were impenetrable fruit bombs the last few years are really blooming now. Drink up but decant. — 9 years ago
