Domaine de Chevalier
Pessac Leognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
The 82 is shining, perhaps just at or past the peak. Delightful menthol and tobacco aromas with just enough fruit to tie it all together. Herbaceous beauty, this one is. — 8 years ago
Osel
Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato 2011
Pleasant surprise - never heard of this wine which is apparently a kitchen sink Piedmont blend but it works oh so well - gorgeous purity of red (cherry) & darker fruit, rich ripe concentrated w/caressing tannins with some spice & lifted floral notes and decent enough acidity to tie it all together on the palate and thru finish. Absolutely Fantastic — 8 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon

i Clivi di Ferdinando Zanusso
Colli Orientali del Friuli Verduzzo 2014
Nice bubbly acid on the tongue. Quaffed with a bow tie pasta with light lemon cream and arugula. Acid cuts nicely through the sauce. Stay young and drink young. Cheers Amy — 9 years ago

Liquid Farm
Golden Slope Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2015
A favorite bottle to commemorate some new ink. Always love LF, as this is a chard that definitely grows and progresses as it opens up and warms up in the glass. Beautiful notes of iris, candied pineapple, melon, toasted walnuts, and saline minerality on the nose. Gorgeous texture and purity of fruit.. bruised apple, Meyer lemon, papaya, and chalky minerals. Bright zingy acidity on the backend, but not as lean as something like Ceritas or Failla - a bit more baby fat and textural complexity on this bottle that keeps you coming back for more. A perfect hybrid of styles by Jeff Nelson and co. Paired with a creamy bow tie pasta with dried tomatoes and a spring salad. — 7 years ago

Alma Rosa
La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014
Definitely the Sta Rita Hills cherry pie going on, but this is a tart, no sugar added version. The silky, round mouthfeel tie it all together nicely. Nose was a bit oaky but that didn't ruin the experience. — 8 years ago
Round Pond Estate
Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
I'll see if I can put notes down this time...
I agree with @Shay Aldriedge ...deep purple thick legs. I get a floral nosey note that persists throughout. There is something else that I interpret as caraway seeds or rye bread. It's big. Acidic. I'd score this a tie with Cuttings. It's really good. Tannins are about perfect. I'm fortunate, our local store had a special order and is selling this @ 41.99!
