I LOVE this Cab! A gorgeous color with Plum, Blackberries and Cherries as well as a hint of Licorice. I enjoyed it with a Steak and all the Spice notes came out. Light tannins and acidity but a beautiful mouth-feel. I enjoy wines from Livermore Ranch and this did not disappoint. I'll definitely buy it again. — 11 days ago

One of my favorite Rosé. Merlot grapes with a deep strawberry flavor and a hint of melon. Medium acid with a long finish. — 25 days ago

Today was my annual hosting of the Wednesday Wine Committee. There was 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert, all provided by me. Tasted blind, as always.

Red wine number two. I’ve had a few of these small lot wines from Murrieta’s Well and Robbie Meyer has obviously paid nice attention to them as these are excellent Livermore Valley examples. The merlot was just wonderful and this is close behind. A bit more dense in style than most cab francs, showing sweet and ripe dark fruit all over with a touch of typical Livermore Valley black licorice. Zero pepper to this, and not much savory traits either. I poured this blind for some people and the common guess was Cab/Syrah Blend. Juicy and ripe but deep and concentrated. I think this needs another 2-3yrs but nice with about a two hour decant. Many thanks to @Jason and Jennie for introducing me to these wines. — a month ago

One of my absolute faves of the flight from @Eric LaMasters. Lots up of upfront purple fruit. It was honestly more 🍇 than any other flavor I could compare it to. Rich and extracted, cedar overtones and full finish. I kept revisiting this during the 40 bottle club hedonism that followed. — 2 days ago

This ultra superb '95 Ridge Montebello puts just about every older vintage Napa cabernet to shame with highly complex aromas and flavors of blackberry , fig , scorched earth, violets , cedar and nutmeg on the nose... followed by a perplexing array of red and dark berry, cinnamon, and lavender tea flavors on the palate. This delivered that Wow factor you would expect from a World Class iconic wine. Better than the 2000 and 2003 Montebellos. Its true they say to wait 20-25 years to pop open one of these in most years. Just remember to use a prong style opener rather than a corkscrew on a vintage wine to avoid the cork crumbling into your bottle. — a day ago
