11/26/2022 - MJobes Likes this wine: 92 pointsI was working at Domaine Carneros when Eileen Crane cranked out this gorgeous bottle of wine. I NEVER expected that at 21 years after it’s vintage date, it would still be this stunning. I’m so incredibly pleased, especially since I’ve got five more bottles! Cheers sparkling fans! |

11/26/2022 - MJobes Likes this wine: 91 pointsWhen I was working at Domaine Carneros, I would have told you that this wine was good to age for five to seven years. I’m absolutely stunned that this wine, at nineteen years, is simply gorgeous. |

2006 The Hess Collection The LionMt. Veeder Red Blend more |
11/12/2022 - MJobes Likes this wine: 91 pointsI was really expecting this, at 16 years old would be slipping down the hill. Actually it’s showing a bit of fruit, some good tannin, and a good acidity. Very pleasant. |

2003 Domaine Carneros Ultra BrutChampagne Blend more |
11/10/2022 - MJobes wrote: 74 pointsTwenty years old… Almods on the nose, still crisp on the palate Nuts and caramel with acidity in the finish. A hint of carbonation, but it is mostly still at this point. I’m enjoying it, but I know it’s not what most people look for in a sparkling. Two more bottles to go. |

5/14/2018 - MJobes Likes this wine: 92 pointsProbably the perfect amount of age for this beauty. Silky and soft when it hits the pallete, still some lush fruit and nice acidity in the finish. Perfect with the rib-eye I had it with. |

2013 Jacuzzi Family Vineyards Nero d'Avola Tracy Hillsmore |
2/22/2018 - MJobes Likes this wine: 88 pointsI bought this during a “Holiday In Carneros” event, but I loved the fact that it was a variety I was completely unfamiliar with. Last week I want through a wine study course, and Nero d’Avola was a grape that came up in class. I was excited to go home and dig this out and enjoyed it immensely. |

2009 Andretti Syrah Napa Valleymore |
2/13/2018 - MJobes Likes this wine: 88 pointsDefinitely waited too long on this one. Not completely over the hill, but fruit is nearly gone, so the acidity was pronounced. Obviously a quality product to have held up this long. If it hadn’t gotten lost in my cellar, I would have drunk it a few years back. Need to drop by the winery and pick up a few bottles. |
