Cabal Vineyard North Canterbury Pinot Noir 2014

This was ridiculously good. Had it with our Chinese New Year dinner of chicken, duck, seafood, etc and it went well with everything. Full bodied, well integrated, just really rich and wonderful. Might be the best NZ wine I've ever had. — 9 years ago

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

I have only the cat emoji with the hearts for eyes coating my tongue. My soul can relate to cherries, cola, roses, oak and those three hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil monkey emojis.

Château Palmer

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Strong berry rich cabernet sav. Aromatics of plum, vanilla, blackberry. Soft to tongue with long finish with just the amounts of spice and oaky. Pairs well with grilled steak. Tannins enhanced after letting it breathe for 30 min - 1 hour. Depth in flavor, great with hearty meal to compliment. — 10 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1990

Oenomaniacs don't have pearly gates, we have Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 1990. Outrageously sexy, with a celestial perfume of asian spices and underbrush and dried cherry. Eternal finish that tattoos itself on your tongue and palate. Medium to full-bodied, with startling freshness and grip for a quarter-centurion. La Tache 1990 will enthrall for another 30 to 50 years.

Old Vine Mendoza Malbec 2011

This old vine malbec had a strong aroma of sweet red black plums, sweet cherries with hints of smokiness almost like a campfire. On the tongue you get a strong vanilla cherry sweetness with a long complex finish of dried cherries. I had this wine with a home made veggie chili and it was an amaaaazing pairing! It was the perfect balance of spicy and sweetness! — 13 years ago

Far Niente Winery

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Drinking the 2008 in 2017. Deep deep purple color. Thick long legs that last beyond the norm. Soft bouquet with hints of cherry, plum and raisin. Smooth on the tongue, low tannins and you can taste the aged oak! Cherry hints and earthy. Full bodied and smooth to the end. — 9 years ago

Kungfu Girl Washington State Riesling 2013

I get green papaya or green pineapple on the nose. Lychee too. Dryer on the tongue than on the nose, I was surprised - pleasantly! Very easy to drink. I will buy this again. It'll stand alone or be good w/ food. Most white drinkers in a crowd would like this. — 11 years ago
