5/13/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 92 pointsNice. Cellar Tracker has it as being able to cellar until 2034. Not sure I agree with that. It’s drinking great right out of the bottle. A little plum color on the meniscus. Slight slate and dark ripe cherry on the nose. Deep red color almost garnet. Medium depth. Little to no tannins and nice finish. I have 5 more. Will be consuming these over next 3-5 years. |

5/11/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 95 pointsWe drank this at Ben and Emma‘s engagement. The bottle had a slight off taste right after corking on the finish. But once it opened up the wine was silky smooth with quite a bit of spiciness really just an elegant wine. Loved it wish I had another bottle. Drinking in it’s window for sure. |

3/31/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 93 pointsI thought this wine was great right out of the bottle. the perfume was aromatic as I expected. I was a bit disappointed in the depth of the wine as the longer it was open, the less body was there. I think this is another that is not destined for additional aging. It is drinking really well right now. |

2/16/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 93 pointsBeautiful wine out of the bottle. Cork was half saturated. Slightly tannic. Wonderful nose once the cork was pulled. Full bodied wine. Slightly chalky on the finish. This is not at peak however this is drinking very nice right now. I think the drinking window is at least 5 plus years. Enjoy. |

2014 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Panek VineyardSt. Helena more |
2/14/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 94 pointsLoved this wine. Aromatic once the cork was pulled. Just beautiful. Fairly priced for the quality. The wine continues to evolve. I decanted for approximately 60 minutes. Tannins subsided as the wine's silkiness started to present itself. Happy I got on the River's Marie bandwagon when it first came out. |

2/8/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 94 pointsLast bottle. Decanted about 40 minutes. Nose is present, but very subtle. Slight tannins. Very approachable. Silky and a bit of spice on front end, with a slightly chalky finish. Lovely wine |

1973 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Ygay Etiqueta BlancaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
1/14/2024 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 98 pointsI continue to be amazed at the staying power of this wine. It is clearly near the end of its life. However, no mustiness, no ill flavors or aromas at all. The cork was completed saturated and degraded. I utilized a Durand to remove the cork. Some sediment, recommend filtering twice. U decanted for 30 minutes and then continued to quaff this beauty over the next 90 min. Again I offer 5 points for age. Very little residual fruit here. Time to drink it up. |

10/21/2023 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpened this bottle to watch the Iowa vs Minnesota game. Fortunately the wine was better than the game’s results. With regards to the wine, it is nearing its peak. If not, add it. Think it’s time to drink up if you have it in your cellars. It could be just this bottle. I have 3 more to find out. Stay tuned. |

9/14/2023 - 2 Utes Likes this wine: 89 pointsNice little drinker picked up from Costco. It is a bit tight in the bottle. A little age I believe might open this up and allow the wine to evolve. I did not decant, but drank it over a couple of days. |
