My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

9.2

Mo had this at 94, I had it at 92. For me, it was nice, but bone dry, and lacked density and that sweet finish I like from Cali wines. This concluded somewhat bitter for me.

Antiche Terre Venete

Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2018

JKT
9.1

Wine dinner with big group including Butch neighbor Art, Philip and Bewan. Pino brought it for himself, given the Cab lineup. Another of his lively dare I say relatively light on its feet Amarone. Balanced profile, actually a good food wine. — a year ago

My Favorite Neighbor

Harvey & Harriet Red Blend

Strawberry, vanilla, blueberry, nothing too complex. Solid clean red blend without the jammy mush that many have become. — 9 days ago

My Favorite Neighbor

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

2017, tannins tame. Big blackberry, vanilla, oaky bitch, chalky. Real rich with no hard edges. Wish there was a little more character but delicious — 2 months ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2014 La Mission Haut-Brion offers bright and vivid scents that immediately captivate the olfactory scenes: black fruit, cedar, pencil box and light, minty aromas. It's much better than its First Growth neighbor. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, very harmonious, and has lovely depth with a gentle grip. This is a sophisticated and entrancing 2014, one of my favorites in Bordeaux. Highly recommended. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2024)

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2008

For a neighbor of the Soldera a very different style. I would say this was Bordeaux styled to the Burgundian Soldera. — 2 months ago

Château Fortia

Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

One of my all time favorites - visited here years ago.
Nice fruit flavor, smooth and very light tannins. Enjoyed with grilled/smoked beef tenderloin and salmon for New Years day dinner with family. A lovely gift from my neighbor a few years back for helping her out. Its nice to have good neighbors!
