Girls Gone Wine

Kosta Browne

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Pleasant throughout and hit plenty of notes without screeching. The KB style has changed in the last few years. Gone are the mega-extracted pinots altho those are still around and holding up in the cellars/secondary market. Those older wines were a 10 on the volume scale. The last few vintages are closer to a 5. That said, this should hold up and develop nicely for a decade+ without issues. Those that don't think you can drink CA pinot noir over 4-5 years old are in for quite the surprise with quality producers. 04.18.25. — a month ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Dali vintage. Still super alive and young, what fun wine to drink alongside Dali’s Wines of Gala book. Most of the fruit is gone, lots of terroir shining through — grape seeds and clay. Some sage / menthol. Literally no oxidative notes — 3 years ago

Villa Del Lago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

In a perfect spot for this producer IMO. Oaky fruit b slap is gone. Nice chocolate/slate/ripe black fruited Cab — 4 years ago

My 08’s were very good as well, but they were at their peak I think. Believe I drank those last year or 2019. $125.00

La Jota Vineyard Co.

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Fantastic. Enjoyed our last bottle of a case of 2013 on Christmas Eve. Sad it's gone. — 5 months ago

Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. From Coravin. Medium body. Phenomenal smoky, mineral nose. Almost all traces of the baby fat gone. Transitioning from the teen years into young adulthood but still visiting the parents to do laundry on occasion. Tannins picking up and slowly becoming more pronounced. Need to taste this again in a year or two. Very promising. 5.9.24. — a year ago

Château Prieuré-Lichine

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

82 vintage still holding its own. Fruit is long gone, but still very smooth and all the qualities of a Margaux. Personally, my tastes have changed in the past 50 years…I would much prefer a bold and intense Howell Mountain cab to the subtleties of a good Bordeaux. — 3 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1993

Label was gone so you'll all just have to believe me that this was a Cheval blanc 🤣. Very far along with leather, mushroom and forest floor flavours. Great wine from a poor vintage — 5 months ago

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1995

Open. Last one. Blackberry violets meats lead pencils some baking spices. Fruit is mostly gone on palate. Still good tannins structure Open an hour. Leather comes though more. Fruit flavors of light blackberry bramble. Turned excellent over 2 hrs. — 2 years ago
