2010 Argiano Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
11/10/2017 - cjohnson2960 Likes this wine: 90 pointsI respectfully disagree with Ms. Larner and Messrs. Galloni and Suckling. This Brunello is certainly good. At present, however, it is not very good much less exceptional - even after oxygenating with Menu and Vinturi and several hours of decanting. I will hold my other bottles until the reviews suggest the wine has improved. The reported drinking window of 2017-2030 should be re-evaluated. |

2014 Robert Foley ClaretNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/19/2019 - BuzzzzOff Likes this wine: 97 pointsBottle 4 of 4 Robert Foley Sip 'n Snack Day. Just when we thought Nirvana had been achieved, we slip into this stunner. Perhaps the culmination of Robert Foley. Pure dark purple red. Opaqueness can be a good thing!!! Nose is perfectly balanced after 7 hours breathing. Wow, wow, wow. Soft, rich, full welcoming of cherries on the nose. Slick, salubrious, soft texture on the palate. A Napa-Bordeaux blend baby ready to sip now and for the near future. She is the "keeper". Introduce to Mom, Dad, friends, etc. Her grace, strong personality, confident stride and elegant engagement will make you the King of Her Court with everyone in attendance wishing they were you. Giver her Grandma's ring...now!!!

9/27/2017 - 321Nomad Likes this wine: 98 pointsClassic Caymus with concentrated and lush fruit. I wonder what the Wagners do to create this profile amongst all of their wines. I love this inky, well-rounded long finishing wine!

2003 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Trailside VineyardRutherford more |
2/9/2016 - juicejammer Likes this wine: 94 pointsPurchased direct from winery. PNP. Per my previous notes, this is outstanding. Deep Ruby in the glass with striking aromas of black cherry, black currant, black-berry jam, spring flowers and pipe tobacco. On the palate the acids and fruit provide plenty of freshness while the structure is rich, layered and complex. A long Rutherford Dust finish. The still present tannins hold everything together with the promise of several more years of great drinking. The type of Cab that put Napa on the map. Drink now-2030. Great QPR. I've tasted all vintages of the Trailside going back to '01 and this is the standout; the 2007 may sneak up on it in another 5 years.

7/5/2015 - om42 Likes this wine: 95 pointsRuby garnet with brick just beginning on the edge. Has cedar, cherries, leather and quite a bit of oak on the nose. Has good structure, tannins and acid. Very Long finish. Tobacco and oak with well balanced fruit. Not a ton of weight and slightly bright from the acid. Very tasty.

2009 Quinta Vale D. Maria DouroRed Blend more |
10/4/2015 - BuzzzzOff Likes this wine: 89 pointsReddish purple on the eye...almost opaque. We like mystery. Massive alcohol on the nose demanded 2+ hours breathing the bottle before we even thought about approaching this blend of most everything good in Portugal. Aromas of dark red fruits, cherries...intensely fruity. Subtle tannins. Too fruity finish from our perspective. We think perhaps too early to sip as oak not really present, which we would have expected after 20+ months aging in barrels. Please, very good QPR sip.

2009 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside SelectStags Leap District more |
2/12/2016 - BigTex22 Likes this wine: 96 pointsDecanted. First glass, this was tight and the nose was faint. Strong tannins and long finish. Ager, too young. Walked away and came back 2 hours later. Wow. Wine had totally transformed. Asian spice, symphony on the nose. Balanced, silky. I'll hold my other bottle for several more years - probably another 5-10 years from peak.

11/15/2015 - cjohnson2960 Likes this wine: 95 pointsBeautiful claret, dark and inky, emitting a brilliant garnet light at the rim. Huge dark red and blue fruit on the nose, berries, licorice, and crushed mineral. Unctuous and substantial. Nice finish.
