2006 Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay Durell VineyardSonoma Valley more |
9/18/2017 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 90 pointsWe were surprised that this 11 year old chardonnay was still going strong. If you have some, don't give up on it, but it's probably a good idea to drink it soon. Beautiful golden color, hints of nectarine and cherry with an pleasant oiliness on the finish that suggest that it once had some oak, but it is definitely french style, and is somewhat reminiscent of sauvignon blanc and viognier. |

2010 Sean Thackrey Pinot Noir Cassiopeia Clone 667 Wentzel VineyardAnderson Valley more |
12/8/2015 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery nice wine. A European style pinot with nice fruitiness and a little funk. A perfect pairing with pork tenderloin and cranberry sauce. |

2005 Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon Cinq CépagesSonoma County more |
4/27/2015 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis tasted really good at first, but it diminished a bit over time, though still a very good wine. Tannic with good fruit that seemed to fade with each sip. Musty odor. |

2006 Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon Cinq CépagesSonoma County more |
4/27/2015 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 93 pointsQuite mellow and very tasty. Tabacco on the aroma, slightly peppery, with a smooth finish. Tannins have all but disappeared, and I would suggest drinking soon. |

2010 Siduri Pinot Noir Clos Pepe VineyardSta. Rita Hills more |
12/13/2014 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 91 pointsExcellent pinot with some zin qualities. Lots of cherry, with an herbaceous quality and a hint of chocolate. Could stand up to red meat such as pork or lamb. |

2006 Lava Vine Syrah Knights Valleymore |
12/1/2014 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 88 pointsFruity (plum, cranberry), and still has some life in it, but drink soon. Was better with food. |

2009 Bennett Lane MerlotNapa Valley more |
9/25/2014 - mrswiss wrote: 92 pointsWow, that's tasty! Silky smooth, with fruit that starts slow and ends strongly on the finish, along with some pepper. Try it with pork now, and I bet it will continue to shine for a few more years. |

2001 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les CorbeauxPinot Noir more |
8/5/2014 - mrswiss wrote: 87 pointsPast its peak, but it still tasted very good, just missing some fruit and intensity. My previous bottle had seemed slightly sour, but this one was nice and mellow with a nice flavor, so maybe it has reached a good plateau that will last a couple more years. |

2005 Terlato Vineyards SyrahDry Creek Valley more |

2003 Charles Krug Winery (Peter Mondavi Family) ZinfandelSt. Helena more |
1/25/2014 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 84 pointsThis was way past the stated drinking window, but we decided to try it with a lunch of merguez sausage and lentils with greens. The cork had wine about halfway through it, but the wine was still solid. In fact, it didn't have the heat some zins have, which worked with the sausage. Probably past its prime and slightly flat, but still tasty. Drink it now if you have it and it's not corked. |

2001 V. Sattui Winery Old Vine Zinfandel Duarte VineyardContra Costa County more |
1/4/2014 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 83 pointsI kept this longer than I meant to and didn't know what to expect. It was still good! If you have some, drink it NOW! It's still hot and not as good as it was, but with smokey food, it was still a good wine. |

12/26/2013 - mrswiss wrote: 89 pointsStill very good, but it may have lost some of its stronger flavors. I'd say drink it soon. |

12/17/2013 - mrswiss Does not like this wine: 80 pointsToo fruity for my taste and a bit sour. Almost a bit effervescent - one glass was enough for me. |

2001 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's VineyardOakville more |
11/13/2013 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis wasn't quite as good as I had hoped. Maybe in between being a big newish cab to a mellow old cab, but it seemed to be missing something. It was still well balanced and tasty, but I will let my last bottle sit for a couple of years to see whether it improves in its late years. |

2006 Dutcher Crossing Zinfandel Maple VineyardDry Creek Valley more |
11/10/2013 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis is still really good. Good fruit but not overpowering, and a pepperiness that went well with harisa chicken and arugula. |

6/6/2013 - mrswiss Likes this wine: 89 pointsAn excellent wine for the price. We did a blind tasting together with a $75 French Burgundy and a $40 Syrah, and this came out on top. Very good with halibut and roasted cauliflower with olive. |
