The Freewheeling Few

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2008

Complex and opens into a spectacular wine with richness across fruit balance and depth of body including a tannic edge. Wish I had a few more in the cellar. — 10 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

As this opens more, increasing tannins. Still soft though. The finish is longer too - clocking it at a minute

So much more giving them just a few months ago. This is perfect, ready to drink crunchy Morgon. #kogodwinemerchant — 10 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Thumbs up. Always consistent. One of the smoothest drinkable wines. Still young. His brothers will lay down for a few more years. — 10 years ago

I knew exactly what this would taste like before having the first sip. There's something wonderful in that.

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2001

Fantastic pairing with a bit of Manchego & Mahon quesos. Well on it's way in terms of maturity but has a few more years yet of tantalizing taste buds. — 11 years ago

Hirsch Vineyards

San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir 2011

Really good Pinot. Lots of flavor. Could drink now or lay it down for a few. I would recommend letting it breathe for a bit before you drink. — 10 years ago

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Young, red and black fruits. Wonderfully balanced. Brought a smile to my face and a 'wow' to my mouth. Splendid from such a difficult vintage, and can't wait to taste it again with a few more years on it. — 10 years ago

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Great blend! Tried it a few times - pairs well w/ steak & also went well with Italian dishes (pizza, veal or meat based pasta dishes w/ red sauce). Tried 2011 and 12: I prefer the 11 but both are great! — 11 years ago
