Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2017
Small production. RSV has under 200 acres of vineyards in 5 Carneros locations & a winery in the Stags Leap District. The wines are 100% organic. Ruby with berry, cherry & spice aromas. On the palate flavors of wild strawberry & cherry with complex spice, citrus, oak and balanced acidity. Fine soft tannins, good balance, long finish with an earthy characteristic ending with notes of vanilla spice. Nice! — a month ago

Domaine de Bellivière (Eric Nicolas)
Rouge-Gorge Coteaux Du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2022
This was a by-the-glass favorite at the Loire property where we stayed. Biodynamic Pinot d’Aunis. Lots of wild red berries complicated by earthy, peppery and floral tones — a month ago
Robert Mondavi Winery
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
This has softened considerably since my last bottle several years ago. Nose is complex, with earth, cedar, cigar box, and an incense-like note. In the mouth, it’s rich but medium-bodied. The tannins that were so prominent a few years ago have significantly resolved. Entering (finally) its drinking window. — a month ago

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1987
Time to drink. Past its prime however still interesting. Blackberry, plumb with licorice. Some notes of leather along with what seemed stronger than normal alcohol. What you doing in 1987? — a month ago
Robert Keenan Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Full of character. Cedar comes through strong. Earthy with a heavy finish. Quality wine, but not sure if it’s worth the $. — 2 months ago

We had the 2015 Vintage on 5/11-12/25. Scents and tastes of blackberry, blueberry, plum and cassis. Some mocha. A terrific Napa floor wine. Fruit forward, full bodied. — 2 days ago
