Pure, clean, bright acidity, and a touch of earthy cola. Every year this is a great buy. Nailed it on salmon night. — 5 days ago

Wow. 18 years old and fresh. I kept looking at the label to make sure I didn’t pick up the wrong one. Beautiful, deep, and settled in so it’s no longer a fruit bomb. — 19 days ago

Gooey tar, graphite, tight dark berries. Better the 2nd night. And even though it is too tight and young, it was still a smooth drinker... just needs years to hit potential. Makes me want to open an older bottle. — a month ago

Straightforward Napa comfort food. Dark Berries, Chocolate, soft tannins, nice finish. Good to go! — a month ago

Starts out with zingy sunshine over flower bed earth. After a few hours this comes together beautifully. Lavender, hazelnuts, potting soil, smell of a spring garden... and all sorts of other good stuff you would expect if Provence were jammed in a bottle! — 5 days ago

Ravenswood single vineyard efforts always deliver beyond expectations. and it’s a great value drinking at half the price of something comparable. I think the Ravenswood mass produced stuff subsidizes their good stuff. $19 at K&L SF on their old and interesting wall to the far left when you go in. — 19 days ago

Solid. Good Paso Robles character. Distinct from Napa and Sonoma as it shows more herb, plum, earth. It was advertised with a 9.7 rating which had me scratching my head a bit. — a month ago

KERPOW!! What a nose. Took a while to open and blow off, but when it did the nose filled the room with Rhone yummyness! Tasted over three nights... second was best. — 5 days ago

Smooth SB... acid and green notes in check. Crushed melon, saline, and a sandy minerality. Worked well with grilled salmon over Bok Choy and garlic. — 11 days ago

After leaving it about 4 hours open... This wine gave me a flashback. Way back in school while backpacking Europe, I bee-lined to the hospices de beaune. Armed with the supplied tastevin, I remember having the ‘78 Echezeaux. And being floored. I said to the old guy there... “wow... this is way better than Bordeaux!!!” He laughed something in French which I took as “you betcha”. — a month ago
