Bacchus Vineyard La Bourgeoisie Merlot 2011

I consider this a more full bodied wine. Typically a Cab drinker but this Merlot was quite good. Strong plum and cranberry flavors with a bit of a peppery finish. Alcohol content seems high with half glass consumed! Surprised that I am enjoying this one as much as I am. — 10 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2012

Exceptionally wonderful to drink. Went perfect with the dry aged Liberty farms duck breast at Solage in Calistoga. A very fruity smelling drink that blends the best of coastal Pinot grapes. I would want a faucet installed in my house with this stuff coming out of it when I'm thirsty. — 10 years ago

A wine that makes one proud to be Californian. Paul Draper said this vintage was one of his very best, and I can see why. With the focus of the 1991 and the nuance of the 1978, this is one of the greats. So easy to drink with the steak, impossible to forget.
