2021 Sine Qua Non Distenta IIICentral Coast White Blend more |
4/16/2024 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 98 pointsWow. Holy shit. First time having this wine. Entirely dry but so rich. 30 second finish, at least, with acid predominant but not souring. Not much nose to speak of. Just delicious. Had with aglia oilo, made spicy. Perfect. Sex in a glass. |

2007 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valleymore |
4/15/2024 - kzkpt wrote: 88 pointsConsistent with others' notes. Dark ruby color and medium to heavy body. Fruits/primary tastes mostly gone, with secondary characteristics predominant and somewhat drying tannins. The middle is largely spent. Tasty for its age, but should have been opened 10 years ago. Not unpleasant but just ok. Drank half bottle slow ox over 2 hours. |

12/25/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 97 pointsSame as prior notes. Holy shit. Sex in a glass. Very, very rich, and you'd not know there's 15.5% alcohol. |

1982 Château MargauxRed Bordeaux Blend more |
12/24/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 90 pointsAt first thought it was corked/TCA. Musty. Cork was intact but wet. Thank goodness for my Durand. After 1 hour decant, all that went away and it lovely, if not overwhelming, with great balance anchored by acid. Tertiary notes and perhaps a 20-30 second finish, leaving just that echo of acid on the back of the tongue. Not sure it was worth waiting 37 years for. |

12/24/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 92 pointsTerrific. Still kicking. Rich, long finish. Sarsaparilla, nutmeg, dark fruits and a great example of the Westside Neighbors bottling. |

7/31/2023 - kzkpt wrote: 86 pointsAgree with comments of WABI47 below. The acid largely gone, and a slightly strange plum taste on PnP. Sort of a black cherry/plum taste; almost candied but can't quite get my finger on it. Tannins muted and mostly absent. Perhaps a bit medicinal. |

2005 Château L'EvangilePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/31/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 96 pointsElegant, mature, balanced and lovely. Considerably developed since last tasting a year or so ago. Medium bodied, with plum color and the nose is WOW. Agree with prior commenters on taste and nose notes and focusing on the experience. Slow ox in bottle for 2 hours and it improved for another 3 hours before fading down to ordinary. |

2008 Sine Qua Non Syrah B 20Central Coast more |
7/22/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 98 pointsAstoundingly lovely and sensual. Sex in a glass for sure. Completely mature, with everything in balance, but could go another 10 years easily. Wow, just wow. |

7/16/2023 - kzkpt wrote: 86 pointsI agree with most prior comments. More tart then most WS wines, but still kind of savory. Surprisingly long finish and depth but not for everyone. |

2009 Ridge Monte BelloSanta Cruz Mountains Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/15/2023 - kzkpt wrote: 97 pointsFantastic and just luscious. Had after 2 hour slow ox, and enjoyed over 3 more hours. Agree with other comments, particularly with the notes of plum and cassis and dark, dark fruits. Great precision, as always with MB. Sex in a glass. This could go many more years, but is vibrant and sensuous now. Medium bodied and light on its feet despite the power of this wine. One of the best CA cab blends, year after year. Long finish. |

2010 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Burt Williams' Morning Dew RanchAnderson Valley more |
7/7/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 90 pointsAgree with most prior comments. Dominant cola/spice nose and taste, with modest finish, enough acid and resolved, light tannins. A lighter WS style, compared with Westside Neighbors, but not as vivid as Allen or Peay. Ever so slightly sour on the attack, but part of its charm. |

2007 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Peay VineyardSonoma Coast more |
6/22/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 89 pointsOn PnP, mature and relatively simple. Raspberries, some sarsaparilla, on palate, with black cherry and a bit iron-y nose. Tannins still evident but balanced. Decent but shallow finish. Should have opened 10 years ago. |

2006 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele VineyardNapa Valley more |
6/18/2023 - kzkpt Likes this wine: 90 pointsAgree with all prior comments, and having the first glass Coravin'd. Far less rich than the almost erotic '05, but a nice zip of acid and verve that the '05 had matured away from. A delicious and very much alive and just-at-the-edge acidity of a lovely wine singing before going muted into maturity. The dark fruits in the nose and the long finish with the acid zip makes this wine juicy and delicious. Don't wait. |
