Good legs and tannins, a little smoky and fine accompaniment to a dry aged ribeye, — 3 years ago
Hard to be objective about this OG wine from a fellow Stanford alum. Really love this vineyard and this wine at 10 years young was probably still baby killing. Could easily go another 20+ years. Although it was perfect tonight with a handmade summer burger and tater tots! Really top shelf Malbec and a $100 wine from Argentina really does compare to a $200+ wine in Bordeaux or Napa. — 4 years ago
Wow what a nice surprise for a Santa Cruz Mtn Chardonnay. Ripe stone fruits and secondary tropical notes. Soft, limestone like texture but definitely not grown anywhere near limestone!
Soft-round acidity.
Hilltop estate vineyard looking over Stanford and Silcon Valley planted in 1978.
As much as I like it's trying to punch above it's weight at a $85 retail — 9 months ago

NOT served at the Stanford Guest House...had to make a run to a local beer and wine shop to survive reviewing 11 proposals before 8am tomorrow morning. I’m not a fan of everything Ommegang produces, but this is terrific. Nice aromas of malt and some molasses on the nose, smooth and rich across the palate, with a lingering, slightly (but not too) sweet finish. — 7 years ago
A nice Bojo while I watch Stanford v. Texas. Love the nose on this. Just explosively granitic, but there’s some cherry/wild berry fruit and pungent spice too. Much more austere on the palate than the last bottle I had a year ago. Bone dry, pretty much all granite, and a tad astringent. It’s very enjoyable now, but extrapolating the two date points (now and a year ago) suggests to me that these should be drunk up.
UPDATE: Night 2, the fruit is more present and the wine is softer. Maybe it’s night 1 showing simply reflects a dumb phase. Upping from 9.0 to 9.1. — a year ago

Drank this at Vino Veritas with John King and Emma on 11/12/18. Not as tannin-y as most Tempranillo wines. Very good! — 6 years ago
