Westside Road Neighbors Pinot Noir 2012
Delicious Pinot Noir from a reputable producer. Lots of strawberries, cranberries, vanilla, and baking spices on the nose. With a bit of air, a hint of earth developed. Ready to drink right now. — 4 years ago
Marchesi Antinori
Solaia Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001
An amazing wine with incredible complexity. Black currants, black plums, dark chocolate, earth, sawdust, cigar smoke, etc. It just keeps going on and on! Better than the 2001 Ornellaia I had earlier. It can be enjoyed for many years to come. — 2 years ago

The Lodge Hill Clare Valley Dry Riesling 2018
Better than I expected and excellent for the price.

Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
Medium-bodied Pinot with lots of complexity. Ripe strawberries, raspberries, goji berries, nutmeg, and a slight hint of vanilla on the nose. After an hour of air in the bottle, it was singing. Drinking at its peak. — 3 years ago

E. Guigal
Vignes de l'Hospice Saint-Joseph Syrah 2005
Blackberry, boysenberry, potting soil, and some spice on the nose. After decanting for over 30 minutes, an intense nose of purple flowers emerged. Not as peppery as I thought it would be. Great with many kinds of heavy, red meats. Good but should get even better in a few more years. — 4 years ago
Calvin Liang
The best Pinot Noir that I have ever tried from this producer. Amazing complexity -- notes of baking spice, earth, cherry pie, chocolate-covered strawberries, Chinese medicinal herbs, and so much more. At 14.3% alcohol, it is a big Pinot that drinks like a Cab. Highly recommended — a year ago
