Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards

Estate Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

The wine of tonight is Conn Valley from Anderson's Vineyards 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon estate reserve!!! Ka Pow! The color is opaque and the legs are thick, slow, and dark! The bouquet is fresh berry pie. My palate aeration of this wine is very smooth with no harsh alcohol nose burn - its my own thing I learned from Maximilian Riedel. The initial palate is raspberry and a huge spice attack. There is oak in the long finish with a buttery chocolate smoothness that quickly turns into a dry finish leaving you thirsty for more!!!!! I love it. This is almost to good to drink with food, but a big thick ribeye would explode with flavor following this one. I just wish it were cheaper. — 9 years ago

Really nice BDX. Perfectly aged for me, but could easily go for another 10 years. Pencil shavings, dark fruit on the nose, tobacco, dark fruit and oily leather in the mouth, long finish. Yum. Wish I had more to see the evolution over the next few years. Perfect with the prime rib at #houseofprimerib in San Francisco. — 9 years ago

Domaine Roulot

Les Luchets Meursault Chardonnay 2011

I can't name any other white wine producer anywhere in the world that would top @Jean-Marc Roulot for me right now. This wine is so elegant, so finessed, it's waltzing on the palate. Sensual, confident and mysterious at times — I couldn't wish for more. — 9 years ago
