Catching up from Friday night. I pulled this bottle because I knew that friends were bringing a 2003 Mayacamas. I thought Spring Mountain and Mt. Veeder would be a nice comparison. This may have been my WOTN. 2011 “the bad Napa vintage” also known as the “Bordeaux”vintage. It was absolutely stunning. So many years left with this one. Completely balanced harmony in the glass. — 3 days ago

Ripe black fruit. Delicious. Might still be a bit green but very good. Even better on day 2 — 2 months ago

Blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot & Malbec, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits with spice, herb and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry, fig and blueberry compote with currants, cacao, pepper and earthy notes. Fine soft tannins, good structure, long finish, great mouthfeel, ending with cedar, fruit and earthy character. Wonderful! Very Nice. — 13 days ago

Dark golden in color.

Nice nose of yellow apples, pears, light honey, spices, cedar, citrus, light vanilla and pineapples.

Full bodied and creamy with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, citrus, apples, limes, earth, minerals, white pepper and sea salt.

Tangy finish with limes.

This 5-year-old Chardonnay from Napa Valley is drinking very nicely now. Easy drinking and enjoyable. Showing nice complexity at this point.

Nicely balanced and well structured. A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 3 to 5 years.

Needs 20 minutes of airtime to come to its own.

Good by itself as a sipping wine. Tangy and interesting.

100% Chardonnay grapes from Spring Mountain District were aged in (55% new) French Oak barrels for 9 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45. — 2 months ago

Inky and nearly opaque purple. Jammy black fruits with supple tannins. Delicious and sadly the last vintage from this vineyard. Shedding huge amounts of sediment so decant. Fabulous wine. Enjoyed with cherry and apple-smoked ribs over three days. Held its own and fruit kept coming. — a month ago

With so much powerful Napa wine out there, trying this casual Napa Riesling is like a breath of fresh air. Pear, peach, honey, with light acidity and minerality; alcohol is medium plus. Cheers. — 2 months ago
