Aromas and texture were mind bending... Flavors exquisite, black olive charred meat, sweet smoke.... The first sip and I wanted to give it a 10. Finish didn't last quite as long as I expected, but perhaps I was expecting too much. — 9 years ago
Aromas of tart cherry, cream, & lobster bisque... Hints of mushroom, meaty, chewy... Still lots of structure. Wish I had decanted it, but opening up nicely. Little hint of flowers just now. — 10 years ago
30 min allowed for the wine to open... Ever so slight hint of prunes from ripe plums on the nose, juicy fresh grape flavors, mid palate of earth, cedar, & acid that causes cleansing salivation across the tongue... 2007 vintage firing on all cylinders, and at a high moment, from a producer of magical Zinfandels... it's the next morning, and I'm still craving more. — 8 years ago

12 year old Napa Nebbiolo... Great red brick color, black tea, burnt orange peel, floral hints... Beautiful entry on the palate, still nice tannins on the finish. — 10 years ago
2004 out of a 1/2 bottle... Still with plenty of life & years to age, the wine showed concentration, complex integrated flavors, & was well balanced, rich, & delicious. Cassis, cocoa, blackberry compote, pepper... quite the example of Heidi Barrett styled Napa Cabernet. — 10 years ago
Peaking... OMG, peaking. Lovely floral, dancing acid, hint of off the tree fresh cherry & pomegranate. — 8 years ago
Purchased 9 years ago, pennies for what it's worth... Fresh, balanced, and exquisite, wine made me break into a happy dance. — 9 years ago
Enjoyed this Chard with pan roasted Halibut, nice balance, no holes, & opened up beautifully. Subtle fruit, nice minerality ... Acid was adequate. — 10 years ago

24 yr old Auslese... great acid still, very fresh, and evolved wonderfully in the glass. Peaches to tart Apple, hints of mushroom, very subtle petrol, into a lovely floral perfume. Had it wish Shishito peppers, & decent pizza. — 7 years ago
