2017 Prager Winery and Port Works Chardonnay White Port Aria

Napa Valley more

9/4/2023 - WilliamF17 Likes this wine: 89 points

Solid bottle with good sweetness and acid to balance. Apple flavors with caramel and other summer fruit flavors in the sweetness. A sharp bite from the acidity and alcohol were a little off-putting, took away from the balance and gives this a mineral flavor that is not to my taste.

2003 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley

1/22/2024 - WilliamF17 Likes this wine: 91 points

Surprisingly fresh and solid; still fruity and carrying some tannic weight, smooth and balanced with adequate acid and fruit to work together. Not showing any signs of beef bouillon or leather so far. Some sediment remained, so it had some preservation;
Dark garnet to the edge - 3
Fruit and wood - 11
medium fruit with a little tannin to give it some body - 12
I like it still. - 3
I expect I lucked out and it will turn quickly but "not yet dead"
