I picked up a couple ‘88s recently as I’m always looking for birth year wines and opted to open this one first. Rough label, but provenance was great.

Consumed from bottle over the course of two hours. After 10-20mins of blowing off so 30+yr funk, this became a total surprise! Faded ruby with bricking but that’s the only sign that this had age. Aromatics sported sweet cherry tobacco, older floral/potpurri, and a mix of red and black berry fruits. Juicy and vibrant on the palate! Shocked. Core of red and black fruits carry the profile with fig, herbs and a little bit of leather. Good spine of acidity here. Not much tannin at the finish, but it’s classically old Napa merlot. Drink up and enjoy! — 15 hours ago

2022 - pretty decent all around. No complaints. Lower acidity than the previous Sancerre, wider legs, emptier body, don’t really have a ton of flavor info — a month ago

Blend of 76% Merlot, 22% Cab Sauv and 2% Cab Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit and earthy spice tones. On the palate flavors of rich blackberry and ripe cherry with sweet spice, licorice and cedar notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with oak, fruit and mineral character. Good to drink now, will age some. — 14 days ago

Final bottle of Goldeneye from our Anderson Valley trip a few years back and it was delicious. Paired it with Honey Baked Ham for Christmas dinner. Strawberry on the nose with cherry and cranberry flavors. Need to go back to the winery to visit and restock. — 3 months ago

Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar and baking spice, aged in 40% new French oak. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry with cola and sweet cinnamon spice notes. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and an earthy mineral character. Nice! — 5 days ago

Pale lemon-straw in the glass with medium intensity. Bright citrus notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit with apple, peach, pineapple, and subtle floral hints. Fuller-bodied than many Sauvignon Blancs, with a rounded texture that’s balanced by medium-plus acidity and a mineral-driven finish. A hint of bread dough. Opens up with time. — 2 months ago
