Meredith Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2019

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar and baking spice. On the palate flavors of juicy cherry and ripe raspberry with forest floor notes and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine smooth tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and an earthy character. Nice! — 4 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

2016 vintage opened December 2020. Leather and minerals on the nose. Not much happening on the front—no fruit to speak of, but there are some soft tannins that follow through to the back of the palate quite nicely though. The finish is quite unique, though.Without looking at the label I suspect this was aged in American oak, which gives it some leathery hi notes and some bite as you swallow. I wouldn’t give it the scores that the pros are giving it, a 9.3, only because this wine is kind of weak on the front of the palate. But it’s very drinkable, indeed! — 6 years ago

Are you associated with the Vineyard, @Matt Duncan? If so, I’ll take you up on your offer. I finally remember Silveroak wines, but I don’t think I’ve tried any in about a decade.

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Hot damn! A beautiful, graceful monster of a wine. Nose of dried blueberries, tobacco and flowers. Big black fruit, Sweet red plums, licorice, and freshly tanned leather all hit you at once with an intensity only attributable to some of the best in the game. Lingering finish of dark red fruit and maybe some kind of citrus? Extremely fine tannins and really nice acidity danced harmoniously with each other. Great with a prime NY Strip. While never my first choice, it is always such a treat to enjoy a bottle of Opus! — 6 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2001

Don’t know if this is representative or not, but it’s definitely not what we were expecting. All sweet and nutty and balsamic but no fresh acidity, which was to be expected, nor anything else that pointed in the direction of a Sangiovese dominated wine. Seems to be in an indian summer kind of phase. Drink up we thinks cause it seems to be going down hill. — 13 days ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Not sure, I think it’s a bit maderized. However still giving some grippy tannins, rich cherry, vanilla and wood…375 ml. Kind of played out — 10 months ago

Our friends deck coming along nicely. The kitchen bar & lighting is in.

Tastes really good tonight. Showing more of the right kind of oxidative notes I enjoy.

Golden & green apple, braised pear, overripe pineapple, lemon, lime juice, nougat, some apple cider, vanillin, yeast, bread dough & crust, sea fossils, grey volcanics, limestone, white spice, gentle, powdery chalkiness, micro oxygenation, excellent with spring flowers, yellow flowers & withering white lilies. Excellent acidity. The finish is rush, smartly balanced, elegant and persistent.
