Vine Hill Ranch Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Procured via auction. Have had bad bottles before but cork looked solid (used Durand to take no chances).

This bottle was excellent and the wine developed nicely in the glass over about 1.5 hours. Kept in my ETO.

Nice black and dark fruits with a little muscle. Oak integrated and not overpowering.

Lovely pairing with steak.

Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

Well-known #chablis producer. Characteristic lemon, white fruit nose. More concentrated palate with length and some interesting spicy notes to finish from the partial oak aging. Lovely wine. — 19 days ago

Tarima Hill Old Vines Alicante Monastrell

I’m biased. Monastrell is my fav grape. This is one of the better ones I’ve tried. It’s rich, supple, dry and lovely. — 19 days ago

Olive Hill Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Grippy tight and tannic at opening but softened into juicy plum and cranberry with graphite and soft tannins. Lovely. Drink now if you have any of the 96 left. — 4 days ago

Vine Hill Ranch

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

An excellent wine from a not great year. Gorgeous on the nose. Plum, cassis, lavender, and milk chocolate. Just a bit weak on the finish. — 5 days ago

"Côte Bouguerots" Bougros Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2014

I think this might be my favorite Fevre wine, even more Les Clos and Preuses. Distinctly Chablis, but I get some stone fruit and honeysuckle. So good — 8 days ago

Les Preuses Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2015

This was pure bliss, citrus nose with Meyer, lemon zest and a little bit of stone drinking extremely well. The fruit is starting to mute which adds to the elegance of this wonderful wine. — a month ago
