Château Fan Carney

Clos Saint Jean

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

Excellent CDP, bright fruit (raspberries/strawberries) on the nose, follows through on the palate, well balanced - only drawback is a slight wooden feel on the back end but easy to look past. Opened up wonderfully after a couple hours. JW big fan. Powerful enough to stand up to red meat despite being a Rhône — 5 hours ago

Pine Ridge Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

At 9 years old, very smooth with deep ruby color and nice texture. A fan of many of the Pine Ridge cabs. Pairs well with a variety of food. Drank in January 2025. — 10 months ago

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The mocha is strong with this one. So is the mint. Let's call it a York Peppermint Patty.
Listening to Tripping Daisy. Was never a fan, but they killed it last night and I got to chat up the singer. Their music would be better with Gamay.

Château Lilian Ladouys

Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Not normally a red blend fan - but this is a exceptional as it’s smooth, satisfying and rich. Finishes well: Well balanced and completely structured as a great glass all around from initial nose to last finish on the palette! — a year ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot 2022

Not normally a fan of California Merlot, but this one surprised me. Very drinkable, but with enough complexity. Excellent with a bowl of seafood stew. — 7 months ago

Amici Cellars

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral notes and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with spice. Fine dusty tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and a slight earthy character. Ok, but I’m not a fan of Amici wines. — 2 years ago

Stags' Leap Winery

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2019

I'm not typically a big fan of Chardonnay, but this one was delicious. Crisp, fresh, and clean, though the flavors took a while to open up. A couple hours after opening, I tasted some nice yellow apples and ripe pears with just a touch of oak. 100% Chardonnay. 1/30/22. — 4 years ago
