The dryness, tannins & acidity of this wine paired well with braised short ribs. The ribs were accompanied by polenta & salad with Meyer Lemon vinaigrette. Very important pairing note - balancing acidity to cut richness but still give a pleasant mouth - feel. 2006 vintage - Floral notes weren't dominant for us. — 10 years ago

Alexander Valley 1984. Brown brick red, still enough tannin for another 5-10 yrs. Beautiful cedary dust and fruit. Needed 1 - 1 1/2 hrs to open up. Harmonious, medium build. — 11 years ago

Still showing youth. Cedar, Connecticut cigar wrapper, dark raspberry on nose. Tannins are tame and this wine is balanced. Very elegant, strong core of fruit throughout that plays with the pencil lead, oak, and tobacco. Day 2 - showing much more depth. Deep core of core of fruit richness but impeccably balanced. Wish I had more. An experience — 11 years ago

Big quality fruit bomb - 2006 - drinking softly now, open 2 hours. Would like to see if the fruit resolves over the next few years. — 11 years ago
