Ridge Vineyards
Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2020
I don’t think Ridge has off vintages
Right. Should have wrote “fires vintage.” I was explained the blind block selection process, and truly impressed.

Purple Angel Colchagua Valley Carménère Petit Verdot 2009
Great one!
@DD Agreed! This took a week to settle in, I thought I was opening it young even after a 6h decant, and I was right. I'm not opening another until at least 2034-39. For real...
Château Lynch-Bages
Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1961
Amazing wine, so fresh at 63 yrs that kept developing in the glass with a deep, dark color, notes of berry, currant fruit, cedar, leather, earth, sweet spices, graphite & tobacco — a day ago
Harlan Estate
Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend
Opened up but a bit disappointing for a high end wine. Richard liked it better than I. — 7 days ago

Quite deep ruby , pretty opaque . Quite deeply fruited and slightly spicy oak , dark blackberry , blackcurrant , with a grafite , wet slate touch. Quite a bit of grip on the palate with blackberry , spicy blackcurrant , dark cherry . More mineral and dense on the palate , quite good acidity, touch of sweet oak. Decent length with no warmth or sweetness from the alcohol. Quite serious , slightly austere perhaps but balanced and actually quite refreshing. Drink from now over the next 5-10 years . This would have been a recent release , purchased from the vineyard earlier this year. — 8 days ago
