This is going down VERY easily. For the pricetag I would expect nothing less. It has such wonderful flavour, is robust and honestly, not a wine I want to share... It's all mine, nom 🙂 — a year ago
Super beau en ce moment. Au nez, tabac, cafe, epices et fruits noirs. Dans le verre le vin montre une légère évolution, en bouche c’est tres bien l’elevage est bien assimile, tabac, cuir, eucalyptus, mine de crayon. Tres proche du profil bordelais mais un petit coté vanillé qui nous dit clairement que nous sommes à Napa... — 4 years ago
Wow. Just wow. Quite delicious. 15 years young. Mr. Tannin and Mr. fruit still doing their jobs quite well. Carlisle really knows how to make an excellent Zin. no matter what the year.  — 6 months ago
2021/4/9-10 with Yuko’s nori bento and delivery yakitori. I gave this a try because they had it at a local wine shop who use taste matches mine (generally a good strategy), and this was just what you’d hope for - light and juicy but characterful, with sneaky stuffing. I’d definitely buy it again. — 3 years ago
Santa Barbera Chardonnay is really becoming a favourite of mine. The Pinot from SB seems to get all the attention here in Sweden but the Chardonnay is outperforming the Pinot by a mile. Very bright and well balanced. Seashell, pear, honey, hezelnuts, jasmin, tiger balm. — a year ago
2011. Very interesting up or down reviews on this wine. Several mention funky notes, where I tasted none. Several noted high tannins, where maybe mine had mellowed. Body was a little thin and it did take over an hour to start opening up, but I paired it with some Indian takeout and it paired great! — 3 years ago
