3/29/2007 - jnanz wrote: 80 pointsNot very good. A half bottle well past peak. No fruit left. Tannic, with a lot of pencil lead flavors. |

2004 Pax Grenache Dry Stack VineyardBennett Valley more |
3/11/2007 - jnanz wrote: 93 pointsExcellent grenache. Will add prpoer TN after next bottle as I didn't tke detailed notes this time around. Although a lot of big red fruit flavors stood out. There was also some earthy, stoney, leathery flavors evolving. A bit of spice also helped balance the fruit and earth flavors. |

2/14/2007 - jnanz wrote: 94 pointsAmazing Rose. Sweetness was not overdone, a great Sec and the perfect Valentine's Day sparkler. Nice, sweet fruit (raspberries, strawberries) against a little bit of puff pastry. Delicious. |

2003 Staglin Family Cabernet Sauvignon EstateRutherford more |
2/16/2007 - jnanz wrote: 92 pointsVery good. Tannic, black fruit (currant, plum) and some chocolate oak. Very good with a couple hours in the decanter. Should be a nice wine over the next 5 years. |

2/1/2007 - jnanz wrote: 88 pointsA little hot up front then its raspberry jam in the mouth, very good. A bit of a fruit bomb, the nose is incredible, like a bowl of fresh berries jumping out of the glass. |

1989 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de LalandePauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/21/2007 - jnanz wrote: 94 pointsThis was really a treat. It was so youthful still with tannin still showing well. Plum, currant, and pencil lead were dominant flavors along with balanced oak. After the tannins calmed down a bit in the decanter (0.5 hours) the wine was seemless and graceful. Should drink very well over the next 3-5 years. |

1999 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
1/21/2007 - jnanz wrote: 93 pointsI'll echo the widely held opinios of the nice spice and earthy aromas, plus some red friut on the nose. In the mouth there was red fruit, leather, spice and a little tar/earthy flavor, quite an enjoyable wine. If I had another, I'd (try to) wait at least another year to open. |

2000 Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon EstateOakville more |
11/29/2006 - jnanz wrote: 87 pointsSeemed rather thin compared to the last time I tasted 2 years ago. Almost as if it is fading? There was a little bit of fruit there, but didn't stand up well to the tannins as previously noted. Decent though, just not as I remembered. |

2004 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Russian River Valleymore |
11/23/2006 - jnanz wrote: 97 pointsDecanted for 1.5 hours. Gorgeous color in the glass. Gobs of berry flavor dominated by ripe raspberries (some cherry and strawberry in there as well). A touch of vanilla (from the oak?) and a bit of spice (want to say clove) round it out. The mouth feel was amazing, liquid velvet. Drank alone, not with food. |

10/2/2006 - jnanz wrote: 88 pointsDrank over 2 days. First day was dominated by sweet fruits (peach, melon and a touch of citris). Second day wine developed a petrol and minerality that actually complemented the fruit well. It seemed to balance th ewine a bit. Drink now. |

2001 Frog's Leap RutherfordRed Bordeaux Blend more |
9/19/2006 - jnanz wrote: 94 pointsIn perfect balance. Great fruit (plum, currant) plus the right amount of soft oak along with that hint of dust prominent in Rutherford cabs. Totally impressed, didn't see this one coming... |

9/19/2006 - jnanz wrote: 93 pointsThick stuff - completely mouth coating. Black fruit dominates with a little mushroom or game (can't put my finger on it) in the background. Really enjoyed it. Should have bought more. |

8/30/2006 - jnanz wrote: 89 pointsI wouldn't go as far as to say that this wine was "simple"... although it was very fruit forward (simple seems so harsh). Personally I thought it had a good amount of fruit (blackberry and plum) along with good acidity to be a great food wine. I am not sure what the benefit would be to cellar this much longer. it was very enjoyable though |

6/22/2006 - jnanz wrote: 95 pointsA great bottle of dessert wine. Wish I had purchased more! Red berries rule the palate here with fresh, ripe raspberries dominating. Not as "thick" as one may suspect but a great bottle none the less. |
