Hope I’ve selected the correct wine.
Birthday celebration for my soulmate. Cristal always delivers.
Coming up to room temp. Warm bread notes on the nose and palate. Balance personified on the mid palate. Soft bubbles combine with apples and mild peach. Grossly understated. Love it… — 3 years ago

If I learned only one thing about wine, if it was selected by Kermit Lynch it is a quality wine. This Cotes du Rhône is no exception. Smooth and excellent. Wonderful with a meal or just as a stand-alone. I’ll get me some more. — 4 years ago
Planted in 1971, the fruit was selected from the oldest section of Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Aromas of berry fruit with subtle floral and spice, aged for 22 months in new French oak. On the palate raspberry and cherry fruit flavors, a bit crisp with light oak tones. Firm tannins, a bit tight, lingering, ending with mineral notes. Very nice, tasting well now! — 6 years ago
One of the producers in Napa. 2005 is perfect now, specially with big bottles. — 8 years ago
Grapes selected from a collection of prime Napa Valley vineyards, including Atlas Peak and Spring Mountain, 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, aged for 15 months in 98% French oak and 2% American oak (30% new). Deep red with aromas of ripe red fruits with pepper spice. On the palate, cherry and blackberry flavors with cacao and espresso notes, has an underlying sweetness. Full-body, fine juicy tannins, nicely integrated, balanced with acidity ending with earth and mineral notes. Nice value! Tasting well. — 8 years ago

Wasn’t the easiest to find on here. Don’t even know if I selected the right one. But delicious nonetheless! — 4 years ago
Just a baby. Hand selected grapes from the oldest vines; 100% Sangiovese. Had this right after Stella de Compalto Brunello. It certainly held it’s own and at half the price.
Complex, tart fruit and acid with tannins to give it major aging ability. WOould love to try again, 5 years down the road. — 5 years ago

Solid product, but lacks depth. Heat is pleasant but not overpowering. The vanillin on the other hand is overpowering. — 8 years ago
Smooth & perfect for my birthday! — 8 years ago
