Paradise Peak

Washington State Sweet Riesling 2017

It is sweet but has a hint of a dryness to it. We enjoyed it while watching the storm role in. #rieslingoftheday #riesling #winelife #happyhour — 7 years ago

Frank Family Vineyards

Carneros Pinot Noir 2012

I was absolutely blown away by this Zinfandel! On the nose, ripe cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and spice. On the pallets a delicate balance of fruit and spice. Strawberry, raspberry, and white pepper round out this Zinfandel. #zinfullygood #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

V. Sattui Winery

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2013

Surprised by this Pinot Noir. On the nose, oak, cherry, chocolate, strawberry. On the palette, a complex mix of cherry, mocha, cedar, tobacco, and a leather finish. One I would enjoy on its own or with pork. #pinotenvy #vsattui #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

WALT Wines

Clos Pepe Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2013

Delicious! A very complex and interesting Pinot Noir. On the nose, very ripe red and black fruits, clove, and leather. On the palette, a delicious burst of cherry, blackberry, raspberry, cinnamon, oak, and tobacco finish. #pinotenvy #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

Grgich Hills Estate

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2011

One of the first Chardonnays I ever enjoyed. Light and crisp on the nose, lime, lemon, peach, and some mineral tones. On the palette, refreshing notes of lemon zest, lime, pear, mango, and medium acidity. #chardonnay #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

Starmont Winery and Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Like a typical 2011 cab, lots of green bell peppers, but that isn't a bad thing! It also has cherry, mocha, plum, strawberry, and supple tannins on the finish. #lifeisacabernet #napavalley #napawines #winelife — 10 years ago

Graham Beck

Brut Rosé Blend

Strawberries! Lots of acid. Fresh and pretty bubbles. Easy drinking on a stunning afternoon. #winelife — 9 years ago

Korbel

California Riesling Champagne

I really enjoyed this sparkling Riesling from Korbel. On the nose, citrus, stone, and floral notes. On the palate Meyer lemon, golden delicious apple, honey dew, and a crisp tart finish. Ideal for a hot day or seafood. #bubbles #champagnions #winelife — 10 years ago

Chateau St. Jean

California Pinot Noir 2013

A softer and fruitier Pinot than I normally go for. But, for the price you are still getting something complex. On the nose, a lot of fruit, cherry, plum, blackberry, a subtle note of vanilla. On the palette, strawberry, cherry, raspberry, soft tannins, and a cinnamon finish. A red wine I would recommend to those who drink mostly white wins and want to transition into reds. #pinotenvy #winelife — 10 years ago

V. Sattui Winery

Entanglement Napa Valley GSM Blend 2013

One of the few Grenache, Syrah, and Mouvèdre blends I have come across in Napa. On the nose, cherry, strawberry, and coffee. On the palette, ripe red berries, oak, and a cigar box finish. #gsm #vsattui #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

Frank Family Vineyards

Rouge Carneros Sparkling Red Blend 2011

Very surprised by this bubbly. On the nose, strawberry and stone notes. On the palette, cherry, strawberry, and a nice mineral finish. #bubbly #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

Grgich Hills Estate

Napa Valley Zinfandel

Zinfully good! On the nose, ripe red fruit, cinnamon, and pepper. On the palette, strawberry, raspberry, clove, and white pepper on the finish. Enjoy with turkey or BBQ! #zinful #zinfandel #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

Folie à Deux

Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Not for my palette. This Chardonnay has partial ML fermentation which I do not care for. On the nose, creamy lemon zest, popcorn, like, and peach. On the palette caramel, creme brûlée, lemon, and lime with mineral acidity. #chardonnay #napavalley #winelife — 10 years ago

Korbel

California Moscato Frizzante

To me, this wine tastes like a desert! It has 5% dosage so a lot of sugar to this bubbly. To me it tastes like key lime pie or a peach cobbler. Very tropical with a caramel, nuttiness of a pastry. #bubbles #korbel #champagnions #winelife — 10 years ago

Bogle Family Vineyards

California Merlot 2013

A solid Merlot for its price point. Strawberry, plum, black currant and medium plus tannins (which surprised me!). I would recommend this with a pork or eggplant dish. #merlotitsme #merlotfromtheotherside #winelife — 10 years ago

Charles Krug

Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I really enjoyed this Cabernet Sauvignon from Charles Krug! On the palette, raspberry, strawberry, cherry, and blackberry with medium plus tannins, oak, leather, and a smokey finish. A wine you could drink today or age for two years of you wanted. #lifeisacabernet #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

V. Sattui Winery

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

A solid Cabernet Sauvignon that is big and bold! On the nose, dirt, cherry, strawberry, coffee, oak, and chocolate. On the palette, big and bold tannins, cherry, espresso, mahogany, and a leathery finish. A wine that will age very well . #bigredwines #napvalleywines #vsattui #winelife — 10 years ago

Frank Family Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2013

A good Chardonnay but not for my taste. This Chardonnay has some ML fermentation, which I do not care for, but it is still very light with a crisp finish. On the nose, peach, lemon, mango, pineapple, and creme brûlée. On the palette, tart lemon meringue notes, with lime and mango. #chardonnay #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago

Grgich Hills Estate

Fumé Blanc Napa Valley Dry Sauvignon Blanc 2008

This fumé blanc has stood the test of time. The green bell pepper spice has intensified over the years while still maintaining great acidity and complexity. There are still notes of lemon, lime, and mango before the green bell pepper finishes the wine. An excellent choice for sushi or Thai food. #fumeonce #napavalleywines #winelife — 10 years ago
