Meyer Family Vineyards

Tribute Series - Donovan Tildesley Old Main Road Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

The grapes for this wine are off a plot on Naramata Main Road. We spotted the sign while visiting Deep Roots. Outstanding wine all around. Bold flavours with citrus, toasty, oakiness and spices. Smooth buttery palate with balanced acidity. Tasted it while visiting and the two owners were pouring. We were very happy to pick up a couple of bottles. β€” 8 years ago

Meyer is great to visit but they sometimes sell out of some wines. We enjoyed Dreamweaver, Fairview, Deep Roots and Noble Ridge this year. Poplar Grove cheese was great too.

I've written about this wine before. Ron's wines never cease to amaze me. Uncorked and poured, at 1st glance it seemed extremely closed and unforgiving BUT give it 30 minutes and it blows up!!!! Lush dark fruit, some leather and on the back palate a touch chocolate. This is drinking like a badass rockstar., Big, bold & unapologetic but has a touch of class that seduces you into taking another sip....at which point the roller coaster starts all over again. Outstanding!! Just what I love in a Napa cab!! Buying a case is like having front row seats., you won't be disappointed!! πŸ‘ŒπŸ·πŸ·πŸ‘Œ@Andrew Donovan @Megan Callahan β€” 10 years ago

I've posted this one before but I'll say it again because it's that good: Phenomenal bottle of wine. It's young but crafted so beautifully tat it is able to fire on all cylinders: exquisite nose which yields a promise of enticing blueberry, raspberry & dark fruit (my favorites) along with a layered finish which touches upon your front, mid & back palate. YUM!!!! May I have some more please???? Oh wait., I brought 2 bottles!!! Phew... Thank God!! .good call! πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ˜Ž. It's always fun having a personal relationship with the owners and this one doesn't disappoint. Bill & Alicia are simply awesome.
Look this wine up if you've never had it! You won't be Disappointed!!! No bullshit., I promise!

This bottle of wine was given to my son Tom Jr from my brother in law Brian Donovan. Brian gave Tommy the wine as a gift to commemorate the announcement of his wife Jenna being pregnant with my first Grandchild. Tom and Jenna have chosen tonight 02/25/2013, to open this memorable bottle. We will be forever grateful to Brian for this incredible wine experience. β€” 13 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine was absolutely amazing and truly showed itself right out of the bottle. Amazing quality price point. Below $100, no decanting and was in full stride. Truly fully illustrated after 40 minutes; Dark luscious black fruit, an ever so slight finish of funky forest floor & an incredible & surprisingly lush well rounded given its age. The oak permeates throughout and is incredibly integrated from front to finish. Impeccable example of a superb Napa πŸ’― % Cabernet. I'm now regretting only having purchased 12!!! This is a superbly crafted wine & it's below $100 πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ‘Œ@Andrew Donovan @Megan Callahan Let me know if you haven't had this yet & I'll FedEx a bottle to youπŸ‘πŸ˜œπŸ˜œπŸ‘ β€” 10 years ago
