The Wine With No Name

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

I love this wine! It is always so balanced. Extremely smooth with very little tannins showing, being so young. A wine that never disappoints no matter the vintage. — 10 years ago

L'Ecole No. 41

Columbia Valley Sémillon 2014

Yellow to almost green-yellow in color, good clarity. Grass, floral, and honey crisp apple on the nose, apricot and slightly mineral on the palate with crisp acidity. — 11 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Usually have the best wine of the week at Sunday lunch. The 86 Latour is this weeks wine of the week. Hi Tannic year in Bordeaux and many experts think that Latour lost the plot in 86 with most thinking that Mouton was the wine of the vintage. This wine had lots of leather savouriness with no fruit character but still a class act. A good wine but not at the usual superlative Latour standard. — 11 years ago

I was intrigued by the label! Very pleasantly surprised! Richer than expected - juicy and velvety smooth with a nice dryness. — 12 years ago

No Girls Wines

La Paciencia Vineyard Grenache 2009

Blind. Whole table guessed Cayuse. No surprise but close. This was really funky and yummy. Fun to drink. Better with food than as a sipper. I really liked it. Probably couldn't drink it all the time but a nice change of pace. Very intellectual flavor profile. — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 11 years ago

JC Fire Road were the only ones to jump on it fast enough. They may still have some 14, too.

Château Calon-Ségur

A great surprise. Drinking beautifully now and definitely at its peak with at least a decade left at this level. No reason to wait. — 11 years ago

Château Margaux

Pretty seamless wine. Elegant but in no way meek. Represents both the style of the Chateau and the vintage well. Red and black currants, violet florals and great length. Delightful to taste at the Chateau, while discussing winemaking with Mr. Pontallier! #margauxmoments — 11 years ago
