Smells like a German Riesling. "That's one for me".

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Cabernet from Napa will never be great, but this is damn good for being a Cabernet from Napa. Sugar is more muted than is the norm for the region. — 8 months ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Spatlese Riesling 2015

Vintage 2015 | true to type Riesling. Beautiful slate minerals in smell, full bodied at first sip, good acidity after swallowing. Personally I prefer the Mosels with sweetness. Why harvest spätlese and Auslese and vinify it ‘trocken’ ? A slightly better when you eat with it, eg some charcuterie. — 2 years ago

I find that a lot of dinner guests who aren’t wine geeks like me say “I don’t like sweet wines” and I have an easier time getting them to enjoy wines if I can bypass that bias and tell them, “No, this Riesling’s fermented to dryness.”

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Great, bold, heavily spiced Napa Cab. that stood out like the arrogant American tourist with the European elegance of the flight. Being American, it made me smile. Let it breathe, it settled down and showcased why it deserved a seat at the table. (I may have enjoyed listening to the gentleman across from me have to take back his initial thoughts) — 3 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

Lovely fruit. A tiny hint of band that may be holding this back a touch. A foot of animal and deep gravely fruit. Slick and intense. Very good. — 2 years ago

Château Talbot

Saint-Julien Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Thought some of the previous 2014-2018 vintages were ready steady go! from the onset but this may take the cake. Light-medium body. Nose is über-giving with herbs and baking spices. Finish of 40+ seconds highlighting a cocoa/baking chocolate baseline supplemented with ripe dark cherry and plum. Tannins fully in check-for now. — 3 years ago
