2008 Lagier Meredith Syrah 93 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder
Beautiful, floral perfumed and not overwhelming pepper or gamey. The next day it was even better.

2004 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard 90 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
I appreciate that someone shared this bottle with us, I appreciate that many people enjoy this hot hedonistic style of pinot noir, but I personally do not. It was hotter than balls, thick and syrupy but somewhat tasty.

2006 Marcassin Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard 92 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
I had always heard that Marcassin PNs were big hot messes (like the 04 KB Kanzler I tasted before this.) I was expecting to hate this but rather enjoyed it. Yes it is a big one, but with adequate aeration and the proper cellar temperature, it showed earthy, spicy and fruity qualities.

2008 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Vista Verde Vineyard 90 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, San Benito County
I'm a regular WS customer but had not tried Vista Verde, I tend to stick with the Sonoma appellation and SVD bottlings. I was slightly let down by this, it was much bigger and hotter than I would expect...and this was being poured next to KB and Marcassin! I still have a 2006 and 2009 in my cellar, hoping for a better showing.

2004 Hundred Acre Vineyard Shiraz Summer's Block Ancient Way 92 Points

This was in a large tasting so sparse notes. Lighter in body than I thought it would be, incredible nose.

2010 Wren Hop Pinot Noir Stolen Crown 91 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
Bottled the week before I tasted it and you can tell. Young cherry fruit, tobacco. A BIG pinot that needs more time but a lot to like here.

2009 Continuum Proprietary Red 94 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Light (by CA standards) complex and lovely.
At a tasting with many other highly regarded wines (Schrader, Colgin, SQN, Hundred Acre and more) , this may have been WOTN for me.

2009 Myriad Cellars Petit Verdot 89 Points

Someone brought this to a tasting; although I appreciate it, this really needs years more time in the bottle. Incredibly rich nose of floral and fruit.
