bump for age, price & novelty: found this dusty bottle at bottom of shelf, recognized estate as old school Chilean, so for $20 could not pass it up: still really inky no bricking, initially shy & reductive, after 2 hrs started to strut w/gobs of dark fruit, licorice, herbs and spice. Varietally correct & showing youthful a decade on... med+ weight, balanced acidity, superb ripe fruit quality mingled with pepper & spice leading to impressive finish. — 5 months ago

Conn Creek is a boutique winery on the Silverado Trail in the Rutherford district headed by winemaker Mike McGrath. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep red with aromas of currants and floral notes. On the palate juicy blackberry and raspberry flavors with espresso and tobacco tones with big well integrated tannins. Lingering finish ending with cedar and mineral ending. Will benefit from aging. — 9 years ago

One of my first pais.
Translucent garnet.

Medium full body with rich cherry flavor. Chewy and dry. However, the fruit notes provide an air of sweetness. — a year ago

Fruit-driven Cab from 20-25 years old vines in Isla de Maipo, just south of Santiago. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Quite jammy nose with aromas of dark fruit (blackberry, cassis, blackberry gummies), red fruit (strawberry, strawberry jam) and hints of bell pepper and tobacco. Medium-bodied, ripe fruit flavors. Very fresh on the palate. Long, spicy finish — 3 years ago

Eagle Ridge is one of my favorite boutique wineries in Livermore. They use all estate grapes and the Petite Sirah is their signature wine. This 6 year old PS has flavors of plum and brambleberries. — 7 years ago

A bit modest at first, but with a pronounced minerality that is confidently taking over the show, and evolving into a salty complexity. Great presence and a vibrant texture on the palate is driving the fruit through the finish. A very smart wine. — 7 years ago

Blind I would have that it was a delicious older #CaliCab because of its overripe juicy red fruits and velvety tannins, but this Barbera from my favorite boutique Barbaresco producer was a stunner — 8 years ago
