Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

CAYMUS Caberet Sauvignon Napa Valley. We drank this with Billie and Rob at Capital Grill in Shops of Legacy. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I would rank it a 10+ — 7 years ago

Domaine Houchart

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2017

A delicate, pretty pink; like the colour of crabapple jelly. The primary aroma is floral, orange blossoms with a secondary bouquet of sea minerals as if you were sitting next to the Mediterranean engulfed by a warm sea-breeze. Good acidity that should cut through the oiliness of the barbecued Salmon on the grill. The flavours of rose water, grapefruit and tart strawberries make this an utterly delicious rosé for a hot summer’s day. — 8 years ago

Realm Cellars

Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Absolutely: Happy Anniversary to us! We don't have a huge array of 2004s (the year we were married), but this Realm cab was a terrific match with the filet mignon I fired up on the grill. Surprisingly, this took about an hour to really open up - went from a good but medium bodied at best wine to a complex, full-bodied cab with a great combination of blue and black fruits coupled with some great older notes of leather and dried currants. Probably not quite at the level of what Juan and the other folks at Realm are doing now (at least based on the scores - out of my price range now)...but it's pretty damn good! — 9 years ago

Duarte Georgetown Vineyard Grenache Blend

Greg Ballington
9.2

One of our favorite Grenache slash Grenache Blends out of California. Especially because of how different it is to the usual wine made with this varietal. This blend is 88% Grenache and 12% Syrah. Deep ruby red core. Some Syrah characteristics on the nose, caramel, maple smoked bacon and bark as well as some perfume and floral notes from the Grenache. High tannins (8/10) and moderate body covered with a ton of dark fruits. Attack is so smooth leveled with a punch in the finish. Tannins carry through with long and lingering finish. Absolutely delicious and will definitely continue to purchase these wines from Grant! Drink till 2030. — 10 years ago

Thanks :) I wonder if the Coravin will crank going through wax or if I'll have to commit to the bottle!

Aonair Wines

Duarte Vineyard Grenache Blend 2016

With friends in town during Thanksgiving, I hit up some wineries that I’ve been curious about. Super cool experience at Aonair. Grant Long, Jr has created something special there, and with David Yorgensen at the helm with the wines, it feels all dialed in. Their Grenache was a surprise to me. From El Dorado and there’s some initial funk, but it blows off and what’s left is a balanced, mineral driven, but kirsch laden, and yet still, a bright style wine that’s quite reminiscent of something from Chateauneuf du Pape. — 8 years ago

Damn... didn’t get to try the Cab Franc, which I’m a huge fan of the varietal, so I definitely need another visit (Probably need one just to do a tasting of David’s Kind label wines). Opened the 2016 Mountains Reserve tonight and it’s going fast... the scoreless Saints might also be the cause....

@Isaac Pirolo : They don’t pour the CF when you visit the winery...even for wine club members! They know we love it, so we are able to get a heads up before it’s released but will still only give me 3! CF is one of our favorite varietals. I’ve found that the Mountains wine drinks better young than the Cab Reserve. I’m waiting for my Cowboys to blow this game...

@Shay A they came very close to coaching defeat from the jaws of Victory! Good to know about the Mountains Reserve. I might pop that one now
