2018 Stags' Leap Winery Viognier

Napa Valley more

7/31/2020 - eric12@ptd.net Likes this wine: 89 points

Pale yellow with a tinge of green, mildly aromatic with ripe citrus and apricots on the nose. Medium body, very flavorful, fresh and vibrant. Fine, plush tannins with a creamy texture but with enough acid and ripe fruit flavor to make it wonderfully balanced. Flavors linger on the palate and leaves a warm, fruity impression. Excellent wine.

This was fine, but may have drunk too young. Nothing stood out, and it was a bit one-note.

Drank with steaks. Very good. Enough tannin left to cut the fat. Classic cabernet aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, with nothing standing out. Spouse liked it too.

Bold nose with blackberry, black raspberry, briar patch, tar, and smoke. Strong fruit-driven palate with blackberry and black currant followed by black licorice, menthol, and milk chocolate. Polished finish with blueberry and toffee/butterscotch notes, light hers, clean stony notes a a touch of oak. Modern and fruit-forwards, its a pleasure to drink. (Note the cork was showing seepage on the sides!)

Don't remember much about it. Pulled it out of an old phone list. But if it was good enough to be in there, it's good enough for me to buy again.

Not my type of wine, that much is clear (but not many Cali/Napa wines are on the other hand. I need to avoid buying, since it never delivers)
This has gone from rather excellent (for a Cali/3:d world wine) to not good.
Opened and decanted for 3 hours.
Bottle is not flawed, this is just the way the wine is made - lack of real origin.
No good stuffing, fruit is to sweet and extracted, wine is overall way too hot and unbalanced.
Resins, sweet and extracted, smoked and torched bourbon styled vanilla from the barrels, anus and loads and loads of alcohol.
No complexity at all, just too much of everything, completely lacking any signs of any fines what so ever.
Used the remains for a red wine sauce, but not even that turned into anything good.

2018 Robert Biale Zinfandel Stagecoach Vineyard

Napa Valley more

12/12/2020 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 91 points

Heavy spice and oak nose. Plum palate is quite prickly and fairly dry and reticent, adding cranberry and sawdust. Shows some acidic drive on the finish, adding a rush of raspberry, mulled spice and meaty notes before the oak finale. Not a ton of fruit for the long haul, but its nice now.

1999 Miner Family Chardonnay Wild Yeast

Napa Valley more

12/24/2020 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 94 points

Double magnum of 6 liter bottle opened and poured into 6 bottles, each 750ml size and capped with a champagne cork. Nose of lemon, mango, and honey, the same on the palate, big body, lovely combination of a Napa Chardonnay, and Sauterne, air oxidized this bottle, bad choice of a cork on my part, and a long finish

6/3/2020 - SuperSomm wrote: NR

Deep purple colour. Medium nose with blueberry, strawberry and vanilla. Medium taste of strawberry, blueberry and plastic. Medium (-) long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Light tannins. Medium body. An acceptable red wine that lacks complexity and has a lingering taste of plastic. Drink now. Goes well by itself or pizza.

Really lovely. Enjoyed with steak dinner and was appropriate. Blackberry notes with chocolate and vanilla (which always makes me wonder, but it's true)

Black currant and blackberry. I go back and forth. Pretty astringent on the tongue (lots of tannins) soft feel otherwise. Some light spice on the finish.

2005 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge

Napa Valley more

11/14/2020 - Peech Likes this wine: 92 points

definitely too ripe, but improved significantly with chilling down to a lower serving temperature. Showed a good amount of mineral and flint, with a big toasty nose. Still ripe on the palate and the finish was kinda short, with a little bitterness.

93. Blackberry, dark chocolate, very smooth, vanilla, oak, tannins are low and even more so after 45 minutes of airing out, fruit mellows out also but still pretty fruity. Between medium to heavy bodied. Overall very nice.

Jan 2023 seems about the same as previous note.

92. Soft, medium bodied, ripe nectarine, peach, peach pit, Red apple, some minerality on the finish. Maybe some barely there oak. Not bright acidity, but very nicely balanced.

2012 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary

Napa Valley more

8/8/2020 - YackAttack213 Likes this wine: NR

95 Nose Ripe red fruits, strawberries, flowers, light wood, some kind of herb vaguely like mint, maybe menthol. Taste ripe cherry, vanilla, well integrated oak, smooth but still a pleasant level of acidity. Oak, some chocolate and cocoa, and cigar on the finish. Should be at peak per vintage charts. I'd agree but probably could go a few more years. It is a fruit bomb.

90. Dark fruits, chocolate, oak, tobacco, tannins are softening but hold on in the finish in a pleasant way. Some pepperiness also. No bombs here, just a balanced good wine.

Beautiful Bordeaux blend, of which is predominately Merlot.......and I'm not a Merlot fan. Really wish I could justify the Hillside. Shafer seems legit.
