Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 1999

Dried redfruits (cranberry mostly?) aromas and flavors, resolved tannins, good acidity, mature but shows good length, should be great with the Wild King Salmon I’ll be grilling soon for our dinner!! — 11 days ago

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2011

A pristine bottle tonight, and I particularly love the vintage for the producer, as it captures the perfect balance of richness and focus. It’s exceptionally detailed, powerful and layered with lemon cream pie-white flower aromatics with a deep, creamy and mineral inflicted palate. In top shape, and may even outlast the surrounding 10/12 vintages which are almost always premoxed. — 21 days ago

Diamond Creek Vineyards

Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1983

Pristine bottle so much power and life left and still fruit definition. Drinks like first growth Pauillac. What a special era for Napa wine. — 5 days ago

Had an ‘83 Forman a few days ago that showed beautifully. Those OG producers from the late ‘70s and ‘80s made some special, and nearly immortal, wines.

Tighter than the 164 and with less acid, mainly showing lemon curd. Very good but should improve with time. — 14 days ago
