2009 Miner Family Cabernet Sauvignon BenedettoNapa Valley more |
9/8/2018 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 94 pointsBright, rich beet red color in the glass. Nose of black cherry, black berry, hint of licorice, and dusty earth, better nose the second day than the first, more of the same on the palate, big body, mouth filling fruit, secondary characteristics tonight suggest it has reached it's peak drinking window, CT shows 106 bottles out there so time to open and enjoy, showing lots of black cherry on the mid palate, lovely, long, flavorful finish and aftertaste. This wine is the top cabernet sauvignon and the only single vineyard cabernet sauvignon of Miner Family, sold only at the winery. Worth the search. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

3/2/2019 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrinking EXCEPTIONALLY well right now. Such a smooth integration of Cali fruit/tannins/oak and acidity softening just the slightest. Has plenty of time left but for me this is in a great window right now, today! Cali fruit with a feminine BDX cellar treatment. This is one enjoyable wine! 2 people found this helpful, do you?

7/26/2019 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 90 pointsNice wine. Pnp.....mid weight, bright red in the glass and bright red cherry fruit up front. A little tart to start with, better over time. A nice little drinker, a tinge acidic but it carried thru well. Forget what I paid for it at the time, but if it was more than $60, I wouldn't buy again. If $40-50, it's a nice bottle.

2014 Miner Family Chardonnay Genny's Vineyard Carnerosmore |
4/16/2021 - Bob in NC Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a wonderful Chardonnay that a little decant did wonders. The evocative yellow gold color coming from the age on this single vineyard Chard, along with the round lush mouth feel. Flavors of Meyer lemon, dried banana chips, pineapple okay, toasted almonds, medium oak, some minerality and butterscotch coming out on the medium length tasty smooth finish. Was a very nice pairing with the tomato based Spanish fish stew. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2010 Miner Family Marsanne La Diligence Stagecoach VineyardNapa Valley more |
6/28/2013 - Nojomoschwa Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery rich Marsanne, with butterscotch and oaky character and ripe stone fruit core. Quite a big wine, but it all sort of works together. On the finish, there is a sake-ness about the flavor and mouth sensations. I wish I had more than one bottle of this. At $20 from Last Bottle (vs. $30 on their site), it was a good buy, especially with free shipping only 3 bottles. I will look out for this producer again (although this was a collaboration between Miner and François Villard in the Rhône). 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

4/22/2010 - Colima74 wrote: 93 pointsStill young, and when popped and poured it showed the Rosella's grapefruit and spices. Great nose. On day 2, there was a bit more dark red fruit, so I'm not sure what to make of this. Will it age gracefully or should I drink my other bottle soon? 1 person found this helpful, do you?

12/31/2012 - studleytrey wrote: 91 pointsThis was a really interesting wine. Light golden color with an almost light brown tint. Nutty, bready, vanilla and stone fruit nose, and a touch of alcohol. Full bodied, oily, and viscous on the palate, with nut oil, marshmellow, and a bit of an herbal note. Alcohol is definitely spiking on the finish as well. Low to moderate acid and long finish, but the alcohol is carrying it on the back end. I'm really torn on this wine; on the one hand I want to give it 92-94 for its interesting qualities, texture and finish, but on the other the heat detracts and I'd love to trade some of it for some acid instead. This is a big boy, hedonistic white that I think will be polarizing. Wish I had more to age a bit and see what happens. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

1/4/2014 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 90 pointsTasted at Miner Family Winery today with their Sommelier. Poured from a magnum opened one hour earlier. Lovely black cherry fruit and dust on the nose, more of the same on the palate, sharp, angular fruit on the mid palate, rich sweet/sour cherry fruit tasting, medium body, and medium/long finish. 2 people found this helpful, do you?

8/7/2017 - CMN wrote: NRVery consistent with my earlier note; raspberry flavors dominate the palate with some cherry and sous bois. Not incredibly complex for an 18yo wine, but fun to drink and still in good shape. This wine will not improve; would recommend near-term consumption. Do you find this review helpful?

10/19/2019 - kevrob822 Likes this wine: 91 pointsDamn, this is just amazing. 87% CS and 13% CF. A solid 91 Pointer IMHO. Decanted for 2 hours. This is big, deep, rich, dark and powerful. Aroma is big. Taste follows with medium acidity and tannins, but great balance! Big fruit, primarily dark cherry and blue and a touch of vanilla and oak. This is just so big. Wish I was better at picking out individual flavors, especially in a great wine! Miner’s winery notes also mentioned licorice noted, which I did not catch until later. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

8/28/2010 - Colima74 wrote: 93 pointsDrunk over a couple of days, on day one I thought it was a little disjointed and out of sorts. On day 2, it had come together beautifully with plenty of red fruit, good acidity and balanced tannins. Drinking perfectly right now, I don't know whether to drink my last two bottles or hold on to one for a few more years. Terrific stuff. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

5/14/2010 - sesalmon wrote: 89 pointsWe brought this to a new neighborhood Lebanese restaurant that does not have a liquor license yet, consequently they asked us to drink the wine out of coffee cups. I think it added to the charm of a lovely evening. The wine could have benefited from decanting, and started out kind of 'dusty' and funky. A surprising amount of tannins still left with fading fruit that balanced out over the evening. Not one of my favorite wines, but then my wife loved it. Do you find this review helpful?

10/9/2016 - Tyler C Does not like this wine: 86 pointsSo disappointing, especially given the price point. Thin and unremarkable is all I can say. I feel like Miner Pinots have seriously declined.
