At HoPR. Beautiful refined nose of cherr and cassis, palate deep and rich with absolutely zero heaviness. An excellent wine of pleasure with silky tannins that melted in the company of prime rib. A very fine Napa showing.

Two hour double decant. Nearly opaque ruby magenta color. Lots of raspberry and cassis on the somewhat diminutive nose. Smooth, dry palate. Softer tannins on the longish finish.

Never had a Greer with some age on it. In some ways it came across as youthful and holding back. Very nice drinker nonetheless. jsmorris707 brought this as a bonus bottle and I cannot thank him enough. Such a fun dinner with Mark1NPT, JS, Carol, and Diane.

Brought by Joel to Fleming's tonight with a 2 hour double decant. Dark opaque purple in the glass.

Nose of dark fruit, a bit of black dirt early on and 5 spice. Later, maybe a little iron or oxblood, but it was pretty minimal all night long on the nose as compared to the very deep and effusive '09 Colgin nose.

Palate had some tannic energy with black berry fruit and more 5 spice. Really feels like it needs even more time to fill out? Feels like there should be more there, there.

My only other experience with Greer is a '14 a couple of years ago and it's very eerie how similar both bottles have performed. Really curious to know if these just need another 5 years or more to really strut their stuff.

Opened Friday and finished Sunday. Still has that classic Rutherford dust and Greer signature terroir. One more bottle that I’ll wait another 5+ on. Still plenty of fruit and life left to this.

This ‘16 Greer is my first and I absolutely loved it. Super high quality wine with numerous layers of notes from dark cherry, licorice, flowers, cardamom, fennel, cast iron pan with that sandy/dusty texture. So so good. Good acidity, grainy tannins on long finish.

Decanted and needed. Still shows some vanilla and coconut but has a terrific core of black currants mixed with a little cassis. Palate is polish and quite suave— but shows the tannic structure on the finish. Solid. Could still use a few years but drinking well now.

Not blind.

I took this to the restaurant. Pnp.

Elegant and polished straight from the bottle. I think blind I may have even mistaken it for a beautiful Bordeaux.

Ruby red and a Moderate nose. Color a little lighter than expected. It may well progress over the next hour. Some fruit on the initial attack. Cherry with strawberry and cassis.

Hl 2. Fd 3. Fi 4/5 with some light alc
Tannins are refined 7- (polished as noted above).

A few hours in the bottle did not improve it too much at all. It was great out straight out of the bottle. I won’t decant in future. I think I actually preferred it initially to a few hours later (although such a comment is reflecting a minuscule change in my opinion)

Decanted 3hrs. Needed more as it kept getting better with air. Dark ripe fruits—mostly currant driven. Rather prominent herbal cab note on the palate and finish that adds a nice layer of complexity. Quite persistent on the finish. Kept getting better and better—but the coarseness of the tannins is what keeps this from the next level.

This is a big Napa cab. We know that 2013 was a great year and this small Vineyard, which is geographically next to Scarecrow and Staglin (just down Manly Lane), is very special. It’s essentially a vineyard and a barn. When we ordered our bottles in a visit with some very special friends, we had the most wonderful tasting on the second floor of the barn, overlooking the vineyards, and the proprietor joined us. It was just great. The only issue is that it’s a very small production gig, and I don’t even know if I can get any more of the 2013. In any case, we popped this at 1862 in real time. Kevin, the amazing manager, and Lauren, the amazing sommelier, decanted the bottle, and we let it rest with its thoughts only for about 40 minutes. I think that was probably not enough to be optimal. If we have it another hour or two before we started to drink it, I bet it would’ve added a point or two. To my taste, the 2013 Greer tastes like the 2013 Dominus with just a little more oomph. Slightly heavier mouth feel, a little heavier on the alcohol, with more tanic elements. That said it was totally well-appreciated by the table (even one good friend who says she “isn’t a red wine girl” almost chugged the glass). Really wonderful and a great find. Thanks Kevin, Adam, and Ryan!

2018 and 2019 side by side. Okay and tannic, but less so than the stern and bitter 2018, this 2019 has broader shoulders but has little fruit expansion to offer. Check back in ten years in hopes the fruit finds its way out of the cage it’s currently in.

2018 and 2019 side by side. The 2018 is all wood chips and bitter tannins. “Leave these alone,” is the best advice I can give here. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit concerned about the direction of this wine. I see a lot of good reviews by good people here, so I’ll defer to you all in that regard. I’ve had a decent amount of experience with Greer over the years and have had some hit/miss experiences. I can hear it already… “This was clearly an off bottle.” All I can say is the 2019, though comparatively an improvement, wasn’t much different. I’m very familiar with the winemaker’s style here, and even still, this came off incredibly strict and bitter. Here’s hoping your mileage will vary.

Rating is as of today, with a two hour decant.

Time to dust off my old cheesy analogy (or is it metaphor? I always confuse the two)- drinking this now is like driving a Ferrari stuck in first gear.

Everything here is typical Greer Goodness, but she needs time, like 5+ years time. Should be a high 90's bottling with some slumber time.

A Charity event plus two days of birthday celebration; a memorable three day weekend.; 10/13/2023-10/15/2023 (Samish Hill, Bellingham, WA): Those who know my palate will be as surprised as me how much I liked this wine. I wanted something bold to pair with two seared dry aged Flannery "Jorge" bone-in rib steaks. I was expecting a fairly "big" wine, though it felt more medium bodied. The balance was really incredible; perfect! Nothing dominated, just luxurious dark red fruit, fine generous tannins, and ideal acidity. I think what struck me was the balance and almost ethereal quality in the face of fairly generous Rutherford fruit. This was no fruit bomb.

Nice classic styled Napa Cabernet. Blind I would 100% guess Boudreaux. Dusty red fruit, graphite, tobacco, cedar and mint. A great 2017.

3 hour slo-ox. Full throttle tannins remained tight even after an hour or so later. Recorked and enjoyed the following evening:
Sumptuous delivery of predominantly black and some reddish-purple core fruit. Nice spice and earth on the tail end of its silky finish. Fresh and concentrated, a very impressive rutherford cab that impressed all with its intensity, complexity and youthfulness. Try opening the next bottle the night prior and sampling it starting in the morning. Or hold for 2-5 years.

Opens with air, but an hour or two really makes a noticeable difference.

Very deeply colored, almost black, with a gentle nose showing ripe plums, mushroom, hints of menthol. Stunning on the supple, endless palate which reveals rich cassis fruit, the fading remnants of an acidic bite that probably was very evident when the wine was released and soft, polished tannins. The mineral lift on the finish carries it out almost endlessly. Mature and exceptionally enjoyable right now. 94 on day one, but I bet I'll revise my score upward after 24 hours to breath in the half-finished bottle.

A beautiful wine that is just at the very beginning of its drinking window. I gave this 4.5 hours of air and it continues to drink well throughout the night, becoming more interesting as time went by. There are still significant dusty tannins behind the dark red and black fruit; I suspect the best is yet to come. If I had other bottles, I’d check in on this again in 2-3 years.
