Vice Versa
Le Petit Vice Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Soft bouquet gives way to a rich glass of complexity. Dark red fruit, tannic rightness, and Smokey barrel notes. Likely good for years to come. — a month ago
Vasse Felix
Filius Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
This is a top wine from the professional press and I was delighted with the wines balance and the cedar notes that were on the bouquet and present on the palette too. Good to drink immediately!! — a month ago
Château Palmer
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1999
This wine was surprisingly excellent until I read reviews that rate the 99 vintage so well!! Still a bit tight after a few hours; the tannins are refreshing and will integrated. The multitude of aromatics are characteristic of the best from Margaux (without the graphite!!). — a month ago

La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012
It’s great to sample the top of the heap of northern Rhône’s! Brambles and a wonderful bouquet. Great! — 6 days ago
Sloan
Rutherford Red Bordeaux Blend 2003
Rutherford at its best - dust, dust and more dust with cassis, black fruit, and amazing tannic structure! One might have thought that this was a much younger wine, and some time in the glass mellows the wine considerably. Nice oak notes on the backend balance the mouthful of pure joy. — 12 days ago
Château Cos d'Estournel
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
A cab drinkers cab! Great oak notes surrounded by deep red fruit and tannins that soften in the glass. A wonderful complement to a steak (or filet) - give it at beast two hours to open and acclimate before pouring. — a month ago
Argot Wines
Borrowed Jewels Sugarloaf Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Wonderful new experience in this wine. Chocolate, dark fruit, and vanilla notes nicely balanced. Worth experiencing!! — 12 days ago
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
Faustine Vieilles Vignes Vermentino 2018
This was an interesting wine - my first from Corsica. Richer than a rosé and more robust than a Pinot. We tasted room temp and enjoyed the balance, with a touch of smoke, and we subsequently cooled it to fully expose its nature as a great warm weather wine that would stand up to and complement bbq. — 17 days ago
Château Angélus
St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
Wow in the glass before tasting with notes of dark chocolate inviting the first taste. Still young but extremely capable with chocolate and cedar notes to balance the firm tannic structure one expects from an angelus! As great as the wine is now, there are many years to be had with this vintage. — a month ago
Scott Kahn
Wonderful nose of oak and dark red fruit. Rich and powerful tannic structure that needs a couple of hours to mellow. Vanilla and oak on the palette with acid to complement food. — 2 days ago
