Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This was really good and likely drinking at its apex. Dark, candied cherries, leather, and caramel dominate the nose and palate. Tannins and alcohol present but well integrated. Medium plus depth. — 8 months ago

Reserve Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Fantastic at the price point. Rich, velvety, but definitely a Red Mountain Washington Cab. — 5 years ago

Galante Vineyards

Blackjack Pasture Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Green and black pepper, stewed dark fruit, leather, and black tea. The 2007 is smooth and well blended, but may be on the backside of its aging apex, with a bit more oxidation and a bit less tart fruit and acid than I’ve tasted in the past. Still a great wine. — 6 years ago

Merry Christmas!!

1hr-+ decant. Dark red color. Cedar, dark cherries, and subtle pencil shavings on the nose. Drinking at its apex! Could be mistaken for a high end Bordeaux. Silky texture, juicy but elegant with lovely terroir, and complex. Nice depth and long finish. This is right in my wheelhouse!!

Pairs perfectly with ham!!

Underrated and classically-styled producer.

Château Angélus

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Like it was bottled last week at age 22 this will far outlast me. Initially compact and focussed, it ultimately spread out with layers of sweet pipe tobacco, roasted espresso bean and a range of red berry. Just gorgeous and far from its apex. — 3 years ago

Jamie Slone Wines

Apex Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara Red Blend 2018

Leave open two hours before consuming. This wine is unusual. Although it is described as a Bordeaux blend, it tastes nothing like Bordeaux or even Malbec (its predominant grape). Instead, it’s a light red wine with an acidic finish. This wine reminds me of Alicante Bouschet or some of the Southern Italian reds. Interesting but not excellent. — 8 months ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese** Riesling 2015

Amber color, lots of stones, bees wax; fantastic! But this is the apex, acids are lower and I will finish the rest of my -15s this year. — 3 years ago
