Pale lemon in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of lemons, apples, gooseberries, limes, grapefruits, herbs and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, spices, herbs and gooseberries.

Long finish with limes and bitter herbs.

This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley. Elegant and rich. Extracted and fruit forward.

Nicely balanced, easy drinking and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose and full bodied, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, earth, peppercorn, espresso and chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a gorgeous 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Big, bold and beautiful.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. The high alcohol is very much integrated by now.

Elegant and robust. Rich and extracted. Tangy and interesting.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is very consistent. I had the 2014 vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking even better now.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

9.1

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, black plums, black cherries, oak, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, light alcohol, spices, peppercorn, and herbs.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate, with plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, licorice, light dried figs, light tobacco, and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine-grained tannins, tangy raspberries, and light cola notes.

This Malbec-based blend from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley is still young, but already soft and engaging.

Rich and "in-your-face" kind of wine. Elegant and fruit-forward. Feels like a high-end New World Malbec.

Already showing nice complexity, once it opens up. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

Definitely needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up and show its complexity.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 51% Malbec, 21% Petit Verdot, 12% Syrah, 12% Merlot and 4% Petite Sirah. Aged in (45% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

#MerlotThursday.

Dark inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Nice fruity nose of black cherries, blueberries, blackberries, vanilla, chocolates, coffee, light earth, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with black plums, black cherries, blueberries, oak, light vanilla, Indian spices, licorice, coffee, herbs, peppercorn, earth, graphite, dark coffee, dark chocolates, coke and tobacco.

Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very nice Merlot from Napa Valley. Soft, smooth and tangy. Elegant with a nice mouthfeel. Well made with nice balance and complexity.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

This six-year-old from a good vintage in Napa would be better in the next 5 to 7 years.

This is not the big Napa red one might expect, but rather elegant, with a lighter mouthfeel.

Needs time to open up properly. I gave it 3 hours. After 4 hours of airtime it became very spicy. Interesting to see. I'd love to check it again in 3 years.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in 100% French oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 180 cases.

14.2% alcohol by volume.
