Good Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine was strong with high alcohol but the fruit was subtle and not overwhelming. The nose is muted. Elegant but needs to be consumed with steak. A good $50 value. — 16 hours ago

Too much alcohol in this Condrieu. The alcohol overwhelms the other flavors and mars the wine. A disappointment. But at least it was only $39 which is a great bargain for a Condrieu. — 6 days ago

Very oaky Chardonnay. Yet an excellent example of the very oaky Sonoma Chardonnay style. Quite enjoyable but it must be consumed with creamy food or steak. Strong vanilla flavors and oaky nose. Good $45 bottle. — 2 days ago

Beautiful Syrah an much better than the 2008. Elegant, dark, contemplative wine with dark fruit and licorice. Nose takes you deep inside your head with blackberry and licorice. Powerful but smooth tannins. More Rhône style than California. Expensive at $83.25 but worth it. — 16 days ago

9.5

Red cherry magnificence. Powerful California-style Pinot Noir with an intense cherry nose you can smell from across the room. Smooth and elegant flavor. Not complex but delicious. Worth its high $70 price tag. — 3 days ago

9.3

Intense red fruit. Smooth, slightly sweet, elegant, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon. Well-made but lacking any earthiness, gravitas, and complexity. Leave open at least one hour. Quite strong but not overwhelming. — 6 days ago

Thinner and more alcoholic than other vintages. Disappointing. — 13 days ago
