Tasted at the new Geyserville tasting room. What a beautiful setting. The new silver oaks are really terrific wines. I particularly liked this 2014 Alexander valley. It was so true to its Cabernet roots and should glide effortlessly in the cellar for many many years — 6 years ago

V09. Very nice port. Candied black cherry nose. Rich, thick blackberry fruit. Hint of dryness, within the cloying sweet finish. Very good. — 6 years ago

Stunner. True complexity in the nose. Can't say enough about the state of the tannins right now. Makes you pucker and instantly crave more — 8 years ago

Super-weird bottle. Mid-shoulder, crumbly cork, and the colour of freshly pressed strawberry juice - extremely pale as slightly cloudy! The immediate scent was quite off-putting but after 30 minutes it stormed back! Scents of autumn mulch, burning vine roots, sour cherries, and raspberry compote. A weird sourness and heady acidity on the front of the palette but it still keeps together well. Clearly badly kept but still really interesting to drink! A true testament to The quality of Mouton under the stewardship of the late Baron. I wonder if this is what some of the better kept bottles might be like in 100 years' time!? — 8 years ago

2011 vintage. Was expecting an over powering true Napa Cab but was very subtle. Fruit forward with low acidity and tannins. — 9 years ago

Always a treat to drink legendary wines like this one. Served blind in the garden at my parents house, the settlements weren’t perfect, but still the true quality shone though. Developed dark berries, partially dried and framed by bitter chocolate notes and pronounced minerality. Great finish, broad and self confident. In a perfect spot already. — 6 years ago

I have had a Chardonnay from Paragon Vineyard before,and this reminds me of it, quite a lot. It’s a SIP certified sustainable growing site and winemaker Christian Roguenant gets a nice full mouthfeel from the lees and the oak.
The straw-colored wine shows quite a bit of minerality on the nose, to be expected from Edna Valley grapes. The wet rocks and lime aromas are always a pleasure, as the are here. On the palate, there are tropical tones and plenty of citrus along with the beautiful oak effect - the wood is used in a very tasteful way. I vacillate between liking oaky Chardonnays and those with none. This one hits in the middle of the range and could be my favorite - for a while, anyway. — 8 years ago

This was amazing. Such great black fruit and notes of tar and cedar. This is a true Grand Vin. Briefly decanted to settle and didn't lose much. Still some slight acids and tannins. Ultra smooth. — 9 years ago

Approaching middle age but is still really fresh and alive. Missing a bit of dimension but probably true to the potential of its vintage. — 9 years ago

An absolute beauty. True benchmark wine. Not many can say they've enjoyed a '96 Haut-Brion, and thanks to a great friend-I have. — 9 years ago

Beach week staycation begins. True Believer has been by my side the last few years. A little spritzy on pop. My preference is to have this cold—50 degrees or cooler to smooth it out. — 6 years ago

I love that the California Cabs are aging so well! This 17-year beauty is a true expression of the Heitz Martha's Vineyard. Has soft fruit with the herbal, green tea, smoke & muted eucalyptus, paired wonderfully with a grilled strip Tyne roasted mushrooms! Life is good! — 7 years ago

Getting some pencil shavings and candle wax. Hubby smelling apricot but I'm not getting that. Very nicely balanced, some residual sugar (allowing it to age well), going nicely with goat cheese stuffed dates. — 7 years ago
