2/1/2024 - pbilling Likes this wine: 90 pointsStill drinking well at 13 years of age, definitely benefited from an hour of open time before drinking. Duckhorn certainly knows how to make wine, just wish I'd bought more back then. |

2009 Balboa Winery Reserve Red WineWalla Walla Valley Red Blend more |
3/9/2017 - pbilling Likes this wine: 91 pointsVery nice, drank over two nights, steak the first night, then grilled cheese with bacon. Notes of leather, sandlewood and stone fruit. Long finish, smooth and mellow. Almost no heat, unusual given the 14.6% shown on the bottle. I look forward to the remaining 3 bottles. |

2006 Saintsbury Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard Anderson Valleymore |
9/21/2016 - pbilling Likes this wine: 89 pointsCedar, Graphite, Light fruit, still tannic with good acid. Drank over 3 hours, last glass was definitely the best. This wine is past it's prime but still a good drink. Decant at least an hour ahead. Ate with Lamb chops, roasted potatoes and a tomato, cucumber, feta & onion salad. |

2011 Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Il Vino dal Tralcettomore |
11/1/2014 - pbilling Likes this wine: 89 pointsStone fruit, berries, herbs and maybe some leather. Nice wine, great finish really good QPR. I'll probably buy a case for the winter as a daily drinker. I don't think age will do much if anything to improve. |
