Shafer Vineyards
Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
The closest to perfection I've gotten with a Napa Cab. Graphite, currant, blackberry and undertone of mineral. Layers of complexity. — 12 years ago
Pax Mahle Wines
Kobler Family Vineyard Syrah 2007
One of the better Syrahs out there. Classic Cote Rotie with refined fruit and spice with muscularly elegant structure. — 12 years ago
Clos Du Bois
Marlstone Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2008
Very nice, big fruit with nice tannins and good balance. — 12 years ago
Erol Senel
Still Napa's premier Bordeaux blend. This 2001 was other-worldly. Finesse and impeccable structure. Big, ripe fruit, minerality, well balanced and long finish. — 12 years ago
