Another keeper from the Black Sage Bench. Truly unique, creamy and spicy nose on pepper steak, freshly milled steak rub, chocolate and raspberries. Dry and dusty on the palate with a good level of acidity to balance things out. — 12 years ago

Second of the two Left Bend reds sent over to us from Gary. Love the labels on these wines and the name of this vineyard, 'Vanumanutagi' which is a Samoan word meaning "Vale of the Singing Bird". Trust us this wine sings! Bright ruby red with purplish hues. Nose started off a little tight with just red cherries and a slight perfume, but as it opened up over the next few hours it developed some cinnamon, vanilla, baking spices and some light lead. Strong acidity on the palate, makes us this it is definitely packing a punch and can last. The strong acidity hides the alcohol well. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate body carried by the acidity. Strong attack of red fruits and cherries. As it had some time to breathe the palate developed some baking spices, slight caramel and herbs, all very subtle. Slightly drying finish from the acidity with a little wet rock feel. A ton of potential with this wine, we drank this on day one, two, three, four and it kept opening up and its body held together. With a few extra years this will definitely score a few more points. Drink now till 2026. — 10 years ago

Death Cab For Cutie, Portugal The Man, Cage The Elephant... New Alt rock band? Nope. Really nice new Napa Cab that Thomas Brown is making. Deep, rich yet bright enough to keep it interesting. Tasty juice! — 11 years ago

New grape for me, Gamay de Bouze. As it was told to me this is indeed Gamay on steroids, and like its crossed with Cabernet Franc. Wild strawberry, pepper and spice notes, and licorice. Finishes clean and minerally from all of the granitic rock notes. Rocks and fruit here boys and girls! — 13 years ago

This is my first exposure to this wine, but definitely won't be the last.....ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! Rich dark fruit, very lush and complex. From back label, "Along the western slopes of Napa Valley in Calistoga, lie 125 acres of premium vineyard. Dr. Kenefick, retired neurosurgeon has farmed these red rock filled soils for over three decades. Kenefick Ranch wines speak of the place, the man, and his vision. 100% estate grown and sustainably farmed. Aged 18 months in French barrique."

The nose was so wonderful, I had to taste before letting it breathe....it was marvelous. It continued to improve in complexity for three hours before it made the best compliment to braised lamb chops. — 10 years ago

Looks like apple cider, with a short buck shock white flattop of white foam, and arabesque lacing. The apple cider suggestion colors the bouquet, with lemon poppyseed cake and pineapple. Brusque mouthfeel becomes focused around a mineral and lemon toasted pretzel bread, with a waterfall-fresh rock essence and an orange blossom shadow. My new favorite Kiwi beer! Amazing stuff from Down Under and around the corner. #yeastieboys #ipa #newzealand #newzealandbeer #dank # — 11 years ago

Early development. Still too youthful and somewhat closed after three hours of decanting. Bold black currant, wild red cherry, cassis, and hints of black berry liquor. Decaying red roses and violets. A monstrous dried crushed rock, lead, minerality and wet chestnut/cigar box tannic finish. Sweet/salty soy throughout. Will hit its peak after 30+ more years. — 12 years ago
