Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Tough to beat

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Young and robust but will peak in at least 10 years. Tight and slow to release. We could come back to this Tommorrow and it would be better — 10 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 1999

It was good but it was eclipsed by the Brunellos. Discussed over dinner how we really enjoy younger Tiggys but nice nonetheless. — 10 years ago

Great wine

Caymus Vineyards

40th Anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Lots of blackberry and fruit up front with a smooth silky finish. Still very young so a little acidic on the finish. Should age well. We bought a case to put down and just had to sample one bottle before leaving the others to their slumber! — 11 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1947

1947. Can't actually believe I have rated this in my lifetime. Although it had a significant amount of leakage and oxidisation, it was still bright, still had bags of fruit, tannins, acidity. What am incredibly generous wine to open to celebrate our new little company. Thx guys xxx — 11 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

A great time at The Capital Grille deserves some great wines. We had a few and ran the Napa gamut. The Insignia was up first and it did not disappoint. They always have a nice complexity of flavors battling it out for attention. One moment it is an early blackberry and the next it is a bright plum. Truly enjoyable. — 9 years ago

One of my favorites for past 10 years. I'm afraid new ownership could effects future productions we have wait and see. — 10 years ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

Unbelievably good. Hard to believe this is 56 years old as it's such a perfect bottle. A stunning nose of leather, dark fruit with real complexity then a brilliant rich and vivid mid palate. It goes on and on and is really as good as Bordeaux gets. — 10 years ago

1985 Sassicaia. Second red wine at Redd Wood lunch w A, S, and K. This wine was perfect. Epic. We could not believe how perfect this wine was drinking. Thoroughly enjoyed it- it was enjoyable the way truffles are- hard to describe, but pleasing to all relevant senses. — 10 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Damn. Memories of date night oh so long ago. Still a mere baby. I've another bottle in storage, perhaps soon. Muscular, still overly (to me) tannic, acidity still high. But still. Can't believe what this costs now. Yikes. — 9 years ago

Puzelat-Bonhomme

Gamey, rubbery, almost Shiraz-like burnt quality on the nose. Wild berries with zippy acidity and a rustic, herbal edge. Still has Malbec (or should I say Cot) concentration. — 10 years ago
