Okay my friends. I have finally released my own wine! This rating is for Dr Todd Vineyards cabernet sauvignon from Herron Family Wines. I had to put Papillon in the pic to get this spot. Ive been working on this since 2014!!!!! It is finally ready. Of coarse it is opaque in color. The legs are thick and slow to fall. The bouquet is my favorite blackberry pie fresh out of the oven with a hint of black licorice. The initial palate is exploding with dark fruit: blackberry, black current, dark cherries. The mid palate is exactly what I hoped for, chocolate and spice with a splash of oak! The finish is very long with minimal tannins and moderate dryness. I am very proud if this wine. I want to thank my growers in NAPA. I blended two vines of 100% cabernet , one from Oakville and one from the Silverado trail area near lake Hennessey. We aged it three years in American Oak. I am so proud of my team!!!!! Thank you my Herron Family Wine Crew! This is an awesome cabernet sauvignon. Next is a pinot noir... stay tuned... — 6 years ago

Elegant petrol with a splash of sulfur, and then it's amazing. Green melon on the front of the palate, lemon surges, then fades with earthiness — 9 years ago

Who am I to criticize a bottle of Mouton Rothschild? Amazing, no doubt. But didn't feel balanced. Great funk on the nose. High acidity and overall mild. — 10 years ago

6 ano that was bottled at 1974 or a bit earlier. My companion during El Clasico over the weekend. I am just not sure as to who was better -- the game or the wine. It was just incredible. — 10 years ago

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 10 years ago

I am a fan of Continuum. The 2010 is intense and rich with red fruits, blackcurrent and mocha. There's terrific energy to this wine and although a little tight - still quite young and from magnum - it was a treat to taste. — 9 years ago

2005 vintage extremely tasty. Tastes great and this wine has another 20 years of life. No doubt a superb effort but I am very worried. Just like Bordeaux is no longer claret, rayas is no longer a delicate wine. Rayas was a delicate, subtle, light colored, feminine wine. It has become high alcohol, big color, masculine wine. Very good but I miss the elegance. Has Emanuelle Reynaud listened too much to RP. We don't need another Pegau. Rayas was just fine as it was. — 9 years ago

These are Ott Gruners are exotically rich and textured, structured with actual tannins and whopping acidity, and possess incredible flavors ranging from tropical fruits to citrus, along with intense minority. Really unique among Gruners, these are the most fascinating white wines I've had in some time. This '11 is more structured, while the 12 is richer and even more textured. — 11 years ago

Honey and melon and mint undertones. Unusual d'Yquem - missing the smooth creaminess I am accustomed to. Great but different. — 11 years ago

A wine experience of a lifetime, we we enjoying a meal in Bordeaux Centre when our hosts poured this wine blind for us. They ask me to guess what it was. Since this was a long dinner, I had plenty of time. But I worked quickly and guessed Château Margaux. Why? I am not sure, but I went on and said that this wine was either the 1983 or 1986. I had no prompts; I didn't even know that it came out of our hosts cellar. It may have been on the wine list, I never even looked. I just broke down the wines elegance, excellent structure and softened tannins. Now before we get too excited here. I could have been a million miles away with my guess, but it wouldn't have matter. Right or wrong, close or far away, this is always a good exercise for those serious about be a well trained wine taster. The hosts and present company were actually amazed. One is never really wrong with their guesses, though to nail a wine out of the blue was really cool!😏#bordeaux #margaux #chateaumargaux #guessthiswine — 12 years ago
