2003 Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon Martin Stelling Vineyard Oakvillemore |
4/22/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep ruby red, clear rim, wine was well above the shoulder. The cork was in perfect condition. Decanted for an hour. Fair amount of sediment. Dark fruit with a hint of spice on the nose. Medium bodied, well balanced, soft tannins and dark fruit on the palate. Another lovely surprise from the big, bold, ripe, tannic '14 I just tasted at the vineyard! |

3/27/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Likes this wine: 92 pointsBright ruby red. Ripe black raspberries, sweet dark cherries, spice and violet floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied, well balanced, smooth, rich, ripe dark cherry, dark raspberries and spices on the palate. Long smooth finish. A dramatic difference from the 2009 Homer tasted at the Knightsbridge Oregon wine tasting from the same cellar 3/25/18 |

2010 Uccelliera Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
2/7/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Likes this wine: 94 pointsDeep garnet red. Typical Sangiovese nose, floral aromas of cedar, red cherries and spices. Lovely mouth feel, bright acidity, fine grain tannins but not quite balanced, excellent depth. This is showing beautifully but still needs a few more years in the cellar to be truly appreciated. |

2010 Philippe Leclerc Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ChamponnetsPinot Noir more |
2/4/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Does not like this wine: 86 pointsDecanted for two hours only to have cedar and fading dark ripe berries on the nose. Cedar and a little fruit upon entry and quickly faded away to nothing. Very disappointing. I have had better bottles from the same year, so this may be an exception. Four more bottles in the cellar. |

2014 Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru Clos de la ServoisinePinot Noir more |
2/4/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Likes this wine: 90 pointsBright ruby red. After decanting for three hours, I found the nose to be musty, earthy and ripe dark raspberry with hints of tart red cherry. On the palate, it is full bodied, austere with a firm tannic spine followed by hints of red cherry and minerals. Long subtle fruit, tannic finish. Will be much better in 3-5 years |

2011 Domaine Robert-Denogent Pouilly-Fuissé Les Cras Cuvée Claude Denogent Vieilles VignesChardonnay more |

The palate is luscious and harmoniously soft in texture. Green apple and light buttery oak lingers for a long time. For the price, this is showing beautifully. Thankfully, I have six more bottles to enjoy! |

1/29/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep garnet. Ripe blackberry, blueberry and ground black pepper on the nose. Greeted by strong tannins which should subside with time to add to the future allure of this wonderful Argentinean wine Full bodied with a long finish. Fifth bottle of the case and looking forward to the next ten years plus. |

2010 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères VineyardRibbon Ridge more |
1/23/2018 - Cellar notes by DB wrote: 89 pointsPulling another bottle of BF from my cellar after tasting an 08 BF yesterday, I am finding this wine to have the same mediocre qualities of the 08 BF. Light in color, cloudy in appearance and ripe funky nose. Lacking body and structure for an expensive Oregon Pinot. Disappointing |

2008 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Beaux Frères VineyardRibbon Ridge more |
1/23/2018 - Cellar notes by DB wrote: 89 pointsLight in color and body. Ripe Pinot sweetness, thin and light on depth. Mature now, I do not see this improving much due to the lack of acidity and structure. |

2010 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
1/13/2018 - Cellar notes by DB Likes this wine: 96 pointsThe nose was very elegant with hints of citrus zest, iodine and shellfish. This rich and round medium bodied wine possessed a silky mouth feel with a hint of wood and a very long finish. I opened a bottle from the same case earlier last year and the wine seems to continue to evolve. An excellent bottle of wine with a future. |
