This was the first wine I ever had and this will always be a favorite of mine. Not too dry with a hint of smoke and smooth!

Cab franc 100% — 11 years ago
Reminiscent of Beaujolais' Gamay, this southern part of Tuscany's Ampeleia is producing some fine red wine! Mine tonight, after 30 minutes swim and spin in the decanter's pool of naked open space and air shows first to the nose wet rocks, slate and sandstone freshly accenting menthol and anise then strictly earthen dirt and minerals and a hint of the berries. First kiss is lightly but intriguingly nasty, wet and dripping red fruit which immediately coats and clings but most interestingly reaches back for the wet rocks overlooking the Med, then re-engages just in time to leave hints of her red and blue berry essence complimenting the blackened octopus in a mash of white beans and spices laced with a hint of Tabasco offered up by Chapel Hill's Il Palio located off Franklin Street (checkout both) Ciao🕶 — 9 years ago

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 10 years ago

This beautiful 2005 cab was an anniversary gift from a great friend of mine @Jeff Savigny The vintage is the year we got married. The nose is so complex and yet so subdued, it practically blew my mind. A nose full of roses, tobacco, dark fruit and licorice with a hint of molasses and vanilla. On the palate very dry, with a faint aged acidity, yet very rich and delicious. You can spend just as much time smelling this as drinking it. This was a near perfect wine and a great anniversary present! — 10 years ago
May have waited too long to drink this but it still has wonderful fruit flavor and remains a top favorite of mine. — 10 years ago
Super yummy SB from high in the Sierras. Savory herbal notes making me happy! — 11 years ago
fresh lemon juice, orange zest, peaches, and flowers (geranium?) on the nose, and zippy lemon with peach in the front and nutty minerality on the finish. $10 at The Wine Mine in Oakland, spring 2013. Wish I had bought more! — 12 years ago

Big bold fruit driven Pinot. Some nuance started showing through after being open a few days. I'm going to sit on the rest of mine for while. — 9 years ago
