Melchior Kemper Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2015
Medium Ruby with a gorgeous aroma of candied violet, dried herbs, blackberry, juniper, cedar, anise, black cherry, dried raspberry, and tobacco leaf. Great balance of vibrant fruit, velvet tannin, firm acidity and terrific length. A lovely wine — 3 years ago

Lost Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Always fun to try older wines like this. Cassis, dried herbs, tobacco, cigar box, soft tannin and acid still holding. Great time to drink. Buddy brought it as a shoe in for a faulted wine and it turned out to be a stunner. Gotta say, sometimes bottle variation can prove to be a good thing, if you get the right one of course 👍🏻 — 9 years ago

Los Ricos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Another nice 2013 bottle. Great with leftover wagyu New York Strip
The Los Ricos Vineyard is a steep one acre block at the southwestern corner of the property. An ancient, dry-farmed prune orchard grew on the site when we came to the ranch in 1955. In 1997 we removed the remaining prune trees and replanted the field to Cabernet Sauvignon, using Clone 337 on 110R rootstock. The block extends from approximately 625 to 675 feet of elevation. The surface is east-facing at a grade of almost 20%, which means the vineyard receives significantly more morning sun and less afternoon sun than the other vineyards on the property. The soils are predominantly volcanic Rhyolite. — 4 years ago
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1989
Classic mature Napa Cabernet. A great bottle of wine. Shared with good friends in Napa. Medium bodied, ripe red fruits, rhubarb, and underlying forest floor. 30 % Snowden fruit and the earthiness shows it. 12% alcohol and firm acidity from winemaker styles of long ago. What a treat. — 11 years ago

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
This one’s got a complex bouquet of violets, pencil shavings, and black plums. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, swelling with black cherries, cigar box, and Christmas pudding spices. 1.5 hour decant on the reserve. — 8 months ago

Lost Vineyard Merlot 2017
A really nice introduction to Snowden Vineyards with this one. Deep cherry color with a thin rim. The amount of earth on the nose is really nice. Graphite and soft red cherries leads to just about the right amount of cedar. Juicy blueberries take the lead after a heavy decant.
Single vineyard Napa Merlot with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon thrown in just for good measure. Medium bodied with tannins on the supple side. 14.0 but doesn’t get the balance off. Nice acidity and structure. The palate mirrors the nose with brambly fruit and toasty wood elements. Long finish with spices and herbs. Next time your dumb friend starts quoting Sideways, give them this.

Maybe I drink it too earlier maybe I didn’t listen and it has to go with food. Cause it definitely improve with food. Deep rich, intense, graphite mineral dark root black cherry cola, Bird and Nikki. Even after a full night of being open, it was still grippy and slightly bitter, but then paired with food shown. Incredibly intense wine.  — 2 days ago
