2010 Saxum Broken StonesPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
5/14/2022 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 92 pointsI enjoyed this more than my previous bottle. Lots of red and dark fruit, massive structure, but balanced. I still think this is too pricey for what it is. |

2012 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Giusti Ranch VineyardRussian River Valley more |
4/28/2021 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 94 pointsA fantastic showing. One of the best KB pinots I've had. And I've had many! I believe alcohol is 14.7% but you would never guess that. Elegant and almost restrained with raspberry, cherry, cola, and cinnamon. Exquisitely balanced with moderate tannins and acidity. Finishes very long. |

2012 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch VineyardRussian River Valley more |
1/15/2020 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 93 pointsTime has been good for this wine. Still full bodied but toned down enough to be balanced and elegant. Loads of dark ripe fruit, cola, and spices. |

2010 Lewelling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helenamore |
2/22/2019 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis wine is drinking nicely right now. Fully integrated with just enough tannins to give it a nice grip. Dark berries with a hint of unripe cranberry. A pleasure to drink. |

2012 Roessler HeinAnderson Valley Pinot Noir more |
9/12/2018 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 91 pointsAnother nice bottle and apparently more memorable than the last one. As before this does have a touch of heat but the bright fruit flavors are fresh and balanced. Good again with a variety of foods (Fresh Dorado, sweet potato fries, roasted asparagus). |

8/30/2018 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 90 pointsWe really enjoyed this. It is bright, fruity, and new world like but its also balanced and delicious. I'd be interested in trying this wine with at least 10 years of age. Or more. |

2011 Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch Freestone Hill VineyardRussian River Valley more |
6/30/2018 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a top notch Pinot. The nose is large and full but the body and flavors of berry, spices, cola are much more reserved. No need to drink now if you have this. |

2010 Saxum Broken StonesPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
5/19/2018 - JuliannaD wrote: 90 pointsThis is not a re-purchase for me, not good QPR. Its huge and heavy and required decanting even after having been opened for a few hours. Lots of dark fruit and some graphite. Packs a long finish. |

2008 Hanna Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
3/16/2018 - JuliannaD Likes this wine: 89 pointsMuch improved from four years ago. Nice red fruit, a touch of cedar and everything in balance. Distinctly Cab in a good way. |
