2018 Pellegrini Family Vineyards Chardonnay Olivet Lane EstateRussian River Valley more |
2/11/2024 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 91 pointsStunningly good for its price. Slightly sweeter than I usually prefer. But this wine hits on fore palate, mid palate and back palate. |

2/11/2024 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 94 pointsOutstanding. Deep, dark, rich, multilayered, mult-textured. Yountville old vines at their best. |

2016 Bibi Graetz Testamatta Toscana IGTSangiovese more |
12/16/2023 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 91 pointsThis baby is barely ready to wake up from a nap. It will be much better in 5 years. Tight, structured, deep, intense. The nose is fairly closed. The palate is lasered in on graphite at this point. The tannins are gripping firmly. For drinking now, must decant for hours. I'm sure it will be more expressive tomorrow than today.. |

2017 Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art SeriesMargaret River more |
10/30/2023 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 94 pointsTerrific in every way. Pale straw in the glass, with lithe legs. Notes of delicate flowers and chalk minerals on the nose. Magnificent Margaret River Chardonnay on the palate, start to finish. |

2018 Sbragia Family Chardonnay Home RanchDry Creek Valley more |
6/22/2023 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 91 pointsThis has matured into an extraordinary Sonoma Chard. In the glass, on the nose, on all of the palate, and on the afterglow, Sbbragia is a crooner, not a rocker. I'm thinking Mel Tormé. Sbragia swings. That is the thing. |

2007 Château de Vaudieu Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
5/21/2023 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 91 pointsA decade since my previous bottle of this cellar, sophisticated CdP. Still sporting a bevy of berries, an aromas and sips, backed by gorgeous tannins and a melange of forest spices. While the younger anise now takes a back seat, lively dash of pepper takes its place in the from. For the patient palate, there's a lot going on to be savored. Properly cellared, this is mature Southern Rhóne with outstanding merits. |

2009 Orin Swift The PrisonerNapa Valley Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more |
5/14/2023 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 92 pointsI am much more positive than most other recent reviewers. Significant aging has rendered this wine magnificent in sophistication. It's strengths show off in the secondaries and tertiaries. Many people want the fruit of youth to still play strong. Have patience, folks. Subtlety and full integration are strengths all of their own. I am captive of The Prisoner. |

2015 World's End Cabernet Sauvignon CrossFire Beckstoffer Georges III VineyardRutherford more |
4/16/2023 - Bowmanifesto wrote: 93 pointsSophisticated meets satiation. Crossfire – named for SRV hit – fires away on all cylinders. Shared with the Coulters at Lakeside. Rich, full, sure of its quality and terroir, delights all the senses. The equal of barbecue, without competing for attention. World's End deserves attention for its innate superiority. |
