Romas Grenache 2005
Carefully decanted, and it took two hours to open up, but when it did - wow! Not overly complex, but wonderful mature Grenache flavours coat your palate and go on and on for several minutes. Highly enjoyable. Luckily I have a couple more to look forward to. — 9 months ago
Nickel & Nickel
C.C. Ranch Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Deep ruby color. Aromas of dusty cherry, cassis, rocks/earthy and herbs. Needs some time to open up- amazing flavors of blackberry, licorice and oak. Fantastic! Glad I picked up a few bottles to let them evolve.

Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir 2016
Holy cow. Opened yesterday, notes from over 24 hrs open. So much better than my last btl: everything has fallen into place. On the nose: soft mushroomy funk, black cherry, wild strawberry, spice, soft leather. On the palate: fantastic acidity, wild strawberry, cinnamon spice, good density, very hi-toned, and soft, very finely-grained tannin on the finish. Yum. — 4 years ago

John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
Lovely, subtle and soft. One would never know it was from such a recent vintage. But it will only get better with age. Approve!! — a year ago

Clos Electrique Chardonnay 2012
Aging admirably. Loads of energy, yet showing the first hint of mature apple. I should open my second bottle of this on the soon side. — 3 years ago
