2016 Ceritas Chardonnay Trout GulchSanta Cruz Mountains more |
2/4/2023 - apatel17 Likes this wine: NRDecanted for 60 minutes and then poured back into the bottle. Lots of lemon and salinity. Manages to preserve a strong concentration of flavor while having a lightweight mouthfeel. Very refreshing. This is in a great spot right now and still has several years of life left. |

2/4/2023 - apatel17 Does not like this wine: NRDecanted for 90 minutes and then poured back into bottle for consumption over several hours. Could be bottle variation, but this was over the hill. Smelled great upon initial open with lots of blue fruit, but this faded quickly. Very astringent, light, and overall unbalanced after revisiting several times. |

2014 Vice Versa Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/28/2022 - apatel17 Does not like this wine: NRFirst time trying Vice Versa. Decanted for 90 min prior to consumption. Disappointing given the pedigree/reputation of the winery. The wine was “fine” but fairly one dimensional. No discerning characteristics apart from being “smooth”. Perhaps it was a mismatch of expectations as I was anticipating a bold/hedonistic wine. No regrets with trying given I paid ~$90 for the bottle, but unsure I’d revisit at the regular price point. |

1999 Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon Tench VineyardOakville more |
12/28/2022 - apatel17 wrote: 93 pointsDecanted for sediment. A bit muted out the gate but started to open up after 1 hour. Very enjoyable if you prefer tertiary characteristics. Not over the hill yet but if you have any bottles left, I’d suggest drinking in the near term. |
