Karibib Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2023

Interesting contrast to the Wolf & Woman. Whereas that was more classical and sunny, this is leaner, steely, green apple, and comes across more ‘minimal intervention’. Probably doesn’t even see oak. A kiss of VA early that sorts itself out with air. Slightly exotic white fruits and a fine chalkiness emerge. I will buy a six pack of this. — 3 days ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1994

I’ve had this wine maybe 12 times over the past 25 years. It remains the single best domestic wine I’ve ever encountered. Balance, power, and exquisite grace are the hallmarks. It bursts from the glass with pure notes of cassis and black fruit, but caresses and embraces your mouth. Pure, craven seduction that keeps you going back for more. This wine just keeps getting better and better. Perfect with rare tenderloin sliders and creamy horseradish sauce. — 5 years ago

Doc Craven Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 1985

Since this trip is part of Rosita's birthday present, we decided to pick a magnum out of the Leopard Hills library to match her birth year. It was beyond fabulous! Thanks a ton to Steve and the crew! — 9 years ago
