2008 Antica (Antinori) ChardonnayAtlas Peak more |
4/25/2013 - MemorialWineFan Does not like this wine: 86 pointsHoping for more of a buttery taste. Wine starting well finished a little dry as one might expect with a Chardonnay. I think there could have been more "wow" when the wine hit middle of the tongue. Smooth, but not enough pop. |

2011 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Clark & Telephone VineyardSanta Maria Valley more |
4/16/2013 - MemorialWineFan Likes this wine: 93 pointsOpened it and starting drinking right away. First taste was very good. I could see the Caymus influence. Wine was a dark garnet color and not at all watery. There was definitely some sugar taste which could be expected at this young age. This pinot did impress. It started well and finished well. I am getting some more of this for sure. |

2008 Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards ÉlogeNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/15/2013 - MemorialWineFan Likes this wine: 93 pointsOpened and decanted right away. Drank this bottle during the Masters. First sip was super bold much like a Pahlmeyer. The wine immediately starting changing and getting better with time in the decanter. Great start and finish to the wine. We both agreed that you tasted this wine even after you swallow the sip so the taste stays with you. I could see where some people that do not care for bold wines might score this lower. Let me assure you though, that this is a solid 93 for sure. I am going to buy some more of it tomorrow. |

2007 Roberts + Rogers Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
4/9/2013 - MemorialWineFan Likes this wine: 91 pointsNo time to decant this wine. Drank it at a BYO restaurant. Paired with a Hall 2008 and wife was drinking a white. The wine is very good. Started smooth while maintaining a good solid finish throughout. Hint of berries, but not overpowering in any way. Could taste the Howell Mountain fruit which is amazing. This is the first one that I have had from this winery and would like to add a few more to my collection. |
