Not quite sure how to answer "Who are you?" LOL. Just another guy who has more wine than good sense. I enjoyed a lot of the early Pax bottlings in the first few years after release, but it feels hit-or-miss these days, which could just be palate shift. The blackberry liqueur note doesn't really do it for me like it did ten years ago...

Frank Murray III, who I know, has noticed the same. By the way - I have Pax going back to 2004. I really liked the 2004 Walker Vine Hills.

I was first introduced to great food and wine by my father in law. My husband and I love to go to restaurants that let us bring out own wine.

I want to stress the representative part, though...it was both sufficiently better than, and different from, other bottles that I don't know if it was a fluke or a harbinger of good things to come. But if I had the opportunity to pick up a couple more bottles, I'd take the chance. After that, the various Alder Springs bottlings seem to be progressing nicely, and semi-recent bottles of the Lauterbach and Castelli-Knight were nice. I wouldn't backfill the other cuvees or the Kobler; not at all clear they have a future ahead of them, or for that matter that they're not already over the hill.

In your view, and given the bottles you have left, which ones would you backfill if you had the opportunity and the prices for them were right? Thanks in advance.
