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

Monte Rosso Reserve Zinfandel

Popped and poured, seemed a little flat. Let breathe in the glass and became too smoky. Second glass from recorked bottle was tight, dry, balanced- excellent. Hope it tastes as good tomorrow. 2012 vintage — 11 years ago

Maybe the Private reserve got to it. Had a strange taste the second day and by the 3rd was not worth drinking. Way too smoky

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2011

Rich berry fruit with layers of Christmas spices and tobacco. Pretty damn close to perfection! — 13 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
