Lovely #california #chardonnay white blend here from Rodney Strong. White flowers, orchard fruit, lemon aromas, nicely balanced and eminently quaffable - favorable QPR. — 3 years ago

It was still alive. Nothing extraordinary, but it is always special to drink liquid history and travel in time back to a #California when #Zinfandel was a “rare varietal wine” — 4 years ago

2011 Spottswoode Family Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (The 30th Anniversary Bottling)

I could not wait any longer and decided to open this. Trust the producer. 2011 was a difficult year, but the very top winemakers make great wines under the most difficult condition. Cassis, dark chocolate, plum, mint, herbs, pencil and minerals. Lighter than expected. Medium-bodied. Delicious. Would love to compare it with their 2010 vintage which RP gave 100 points.

開けるには早いかなと思いつつも待ち切れず、スポッツウッドの2011年をトライ。2011年は非常に難しい年でしたが、トップクラスのワインメーカーが手掛けるワインはさすが。カシス、ダークチョコレート、プラム、ミント、ハーブ、鉛筆の芯やミネラルなど。思っていたより軽めでミディアムボディーな仕上がり。美味しくいただきました。近い将来、ロバートパーカー氏が100点をつけた2010年と飲み比べてみたいものです。

Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Underrated. An aromatic, smooth beauty. Aged really well. This is showing its best now. Love it.

リリースされた当時はあまり評価されなかったワインですが、17年の時を経て、ふくよかで芳醇なワインになっていました。熟成されまさに飲み頃です。素晴らしい。
