2010 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Eastside Road NeighborsRussian River Valley more |
5/11/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 95 pointsRead some of the reviews before picking this one out of the cellar and everyone was spot on. A wonderful cherry flavor with a great finish. Sad that it's my last bottle of 2010 Eastside road. |

2017 Peirson Meyer Chardonnay Sophia's VineyardRussian River Valley more |
5/9/2024 - Radar & Mattie Does not like this wine: NRThis wine has turned to sherry and had to be poured down the drain. Hopefully it was not past it's prime and more likely a bad cork has caused it to sherry. Disappointed that a 2017 would turn so quickly when it was properly stored and bought from the winery. |

1999 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveNapa Valley more |
5/4/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis was a magnum and it held up wonderfully. Still plenty of fruit and the balance was perfect. This was John Clews first vintage as head winemaker and he created a gem with this one. |

1999 Spring Mountain Vineyard Napa Valley Red WineSpring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon more |
2/20/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 96 pointsHad friends over for a wine dinner. To go with the filet I poured a 2012 PM Les Pavots and the 99 Spring Mtn. Both wines were outstanding but the Spring Mtn was the wine of the night, This wine has held up wonderfully and from the amount of fruit still in the bottle you would have thought it was a much younger wine. |

2015 Peter Michael Chardonnay La CarrièreKnights Valley more |
2/17/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 94 pointsPulled out of the cellar at 55 degrees and it's perfect. Good minerality and well balanced even with Alc. at 14.8%. Went awesome with a turkey breast smoked with applewood on the BGE. |

2008 Clos du Val Chardonnay ReserveCarneros more |
2/1/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 92 pointsFound this in the back of my cellar. Guess I would call it a dusty bottle, for those who remember the old Clos Du Val dusty bottle club. I sure miss those days. Having a turkey breast on the BGE tonight so I PNP. The other night I opened a 2009 Pride Chard and it was toast so I didn't expect much with this one. Well it is wonderful. A light lemon gold color and flavors that just explode on your palate. It sure brought back memories of the wine dinners at the winery. |

2013 Jarvis (California) Winery TempranilloNapa Valley more |
1/31/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 92 pointsReally enjoyed this wine. 13.2 on the alcohol made this a well balanced wine. Paired perfect with spaghetti and meat sauce. Very little sediment and did not need any decanting. |

2008 Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida EstateSt. Helena more |
1/22/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 87 pointsI was a little surprised. This was my last bottle and when I had it in 2022, most of the fruit was gone. Well the fruit returned and when I decanted, very little sediment. Still past it's prime, but a nice improvement from my last experience. |

2019 Jordan Vineyard & Winery Chardonnay Russian River Valleymore |
1/16/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 89 pointsJust a perfect Chardonnay to go with the simple meal of salad and shrimp. I didn't want to pull out a PM or other higher end Chard and this just hit the spot. A zesty and fun wine that is at a perfect price point for an everyday drinker. I don't understand why Jordan is not rated higher on their wines. I really enjoy both the Cab and the chardonnay. |

2009 Tom Eddy Cabernet Sauvignon Spanos Berberian (Pritchard Hill)Napa County more |
1/15/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis is classic Tom Eddy. Decanted for 2 hours and was smooth as silk with a wonderful nose. Had with friends that loves Chappelette Pritchard Hill. He brought the 2016 for dinner at Salt, Ritz, Amelia Island. He and his wife liked the Tom Eddy so much he called to order a few bottles the next day. Both wines were wonderful but the age on the Tom Eddy made it stand out. It's in a perfect window right now. |

2018 Bob Cabral Wines Pinot Noir FillmoreSonoma Coast more |
1/4/2024 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 98 pointsA great wine from Bob and the Sonoma coast. My favorite Cali pinots are from Fort Ross Sea View. This wine was perfect right after opening and after 30 mins it was to die for. |

2010 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Olivet Lane VineyardRussian River Valley more |
12/29/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 92 pointsA wonderful 2010 pinot that is holding up very nicely with a few years of life still in the bottle. When first opened it needed 30 mins to release it's full flavors. Still full of fruit with acid perfectly balanced. Just an enjoyable RR pinot. Happy New Year. |

12/23/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 94 pointsIt's been a year since my last bottle and it is still going strong. West block never disappoints and sadly this was my last 2013. Should go another 3 to 4 years. Cheers !!! |

2016 J. Rochioli Chardonnay South River VineyardRussian River Valley more |
12/19/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy last bottle of six. The drink window said 2022. Still holding up well but glad I drank it before it starts to fade like some of my other 2015 and earlier Rochioli chards. The 4 to 6 year window seems to be best for these. |

2012 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Olivet Lane VineyardRussian River Valley more |
11/29/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 94 pointsJust a wonderful Pinot Noir that drinks a lot younger than it's age. Had I know it had so much life in it, I would have waited a few more years. I think I need to add 2 to 4 years on the cellar tracker drink windows in the future. |

2014 J. Rochioli Pinot Noir River BlockRussian River Valley more |

10/8/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 90 pointsFor a 13 year old pinot, it is still holding up very nicely. Still a lot of fruit to enjoy and the acid is is just starting to fade, but I really like this wine. |

2017 Bob Cabral Wines Pinot Noir TroubadourRussian River Valley more |
9/3/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 98 pointsIt was our 30th anniversary and I brought this and a PM chardonnay, Oh and also a nice bottle for the kitchen staff to enjoy at our favorite restaurant in Jacksonville, Orsay. As I always say, wine is meant to be shared. The 2017 Troubadour was one of the best pinot noirs I have had in a while. The structure and balance of this wine is perfect. I was speechless as I savor the last few drops in my glass. Just try it and I guarantee it will take your breath away. It was the prefect wine for our special evening. Cheers !!! |

2012 Peter Michael Pinot Noir Le CapriceFort Ross - Seaview more |
8/26/2023 - Radar & Mattie Likes this wine: 89 pointsMy last bottle and glad I drink while still a nice pinot, but it was time to put it to rest before it lost it's luster. I would not wait much longer to enjoy this wine. Looking at the community holdings, 48% is still in cellars. It's not worth holding this, drink up and enjoy before you are disappointed. |
