Anas-Cëtta Langhe Bianco Nascetta di Novello 2013
Very complex nose of slate, toasty oak, and honey. Rich texture on the palette with notes of peaches, chamomile, and a little bit of oxidation. Very impressive wine. — 9 years ago
Merryvale Vineyards
Profile Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 1992
We started drinking it with minutes of opening the bottle. Plum, Licorice, & black berry, on the nose. On the palate the tannins were smooth and silky. We ate a prime ribeye steak with the wine (this was too much for this middle aged geezer of a wine; I wish I had time to make a braise short rib.) Next to the simply prepared steak the wine lost all of its tannin structure leaving the wine rather flat on the palate with oxidation aromas. I wasn't about to give up on this girl yet, so pulled out some Parmigiano-Reggiano and we hung out together for the next hour. The first 5 minutes she tried to stay alive but within 20 minutes the wine was putting off Bret aromas and the 13.5% alcohol felt more like over 15. — 9 years ago

Stanley Ranch Vineyard Cherry Pie Pinot Noir 2014
Lip smacking yummy. This wine has been just straight up fun. Obviously cherry flavors with layers of raspberry and toasty bread. Not super complex, a little high in alcohol, and very light bodied. I think the price is a touch high but hell I didn't pay for it so bottoms up! — 9 years ago

Andrus Island Vinyard Albarino 2013
Wet stone and slate on the nose, with aromas of lemon and banana. The oak/banana aromas are confirmed on the palate with pithy grape fruit and racy acidity like you would expect from and Albariño. — 9 years ago
