Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot 2022

Not normally a fan of California Merlot, but this one surprised me. Very drinkable, but with enough complexity. Excellent with a bowl of seafood stew. — 2 months ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

I had this a week ago but didn’t take any notes at all at a friends tasting last Sunday afternoon. Have always been a huge fan of Dominus and this was from an exceptional vintage. I recall an excellent left bank Cabernet dominant style but presented as a Napa style - rich and plush but not overly so. Thoroughly enjoyable. — 8 months ago

Not a big Caymus fan, but my 2nd bottle this week! Better than expected. Dark fruit with subtle hints of oak and vanilla that were better integrated than other Caymus experiences. Medium depth. Paired nicely with smoked pork chops. — 2 years ago

Château Lilian Ladouys

Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Not normally a red blend fan - but this is a exceptional as it’s smooth, satisfying and rich. Finishes well: Well balanced and completely structured as a great glass all around from initial nose to last finish on the palette! — 6 months ago

Stags' Leap Winery

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2019

I'm not typically a big fan of Chardonnay, but this one was delicious. Crisp, fresh, and clean, though the flavors took a while to open up. A couple hours after opening, I tasted some nice yellow apples and ripe pears with just a touch of oak. 100% Chardonnay. 1/30/22. — 3 years ago

Pine Ridge Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

At 9 years old, very smooth with deep ruby color and nice texture. A fan of many of the Pine Ridge cabs. Pairs well with a variety of food. Drank in January 2025. — 5 months ago

Amici Cellars

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral notes and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with spice. Fine dusty tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and a slight earthy character. Ok, but I’m not a fan of Amici wines. — a year ago
