1982 vintage. Wonderful peppery and herbal aroma, great acidity still and dried fruit flavors. Great wine. With Tim O'Rourke and other friends. At Ripple. — 11 years ago

A deep, violet, velvety Grenache that made me homesick on International Grenache Day. — 11 years ago

With Tim as my Sous Chef, together we made an amazing Valentine's dinner. Grass-fed filet mignon, sautéed Bok Choy, and steamed artichokes. Paired with a couple treasures from my cellar. 1998 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape (lost its fruit 😔), but then we opened a 1997 Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon-wow!! Beautifully aged, silky tannins, balanced acidity, lush berry fruit and a lovely finish. Boy are we spoiled! P. S. I only paid $35.95 for it back in 2001! — 11 years ago

Deep ruby, toasty oaky dark red fruits, dry, supple tannins. Full bodied bur with a lean elegance that is improved by drinking the other half of the bottle two days after opening. So worth decanting to really enjoy its subtleties… — 11 years ago

Pretty awesome wine, made while Tim Mondavi was still at the helm, has the power and finesse that only exists in classic Napa, green characters, red fruits, black fruits, vanilla oak, tannin, body, length, acid, the whole package. — 13 years ago
