Big red and blue fruits on the nose and front palate. Tannins and acidity rounded out very nicely. Smooth and easy to drink.

Very good wine drinking in it's prime right now. Fruit forward with big black and blue fruits, good acidity that was accompanied by a smooth vanilla finish. Excellent wine paired with a rib cap.

Decanted this one for 90 minutes. Tasted it along the way and it improved each time. Solid fruit forward wine with earthy finish. Acidity and tannins both well balanced. No real oak notes on this and a good expression of a cab. Not a lot of zip on the front of the wine and definitely showing some age.

Well balanced wine. Medium tannins and acidity. Fruit wasn't as forward as I've experienced with their wines before, but it was still all there. This one is definitely post turn, but still drinking well.

Delicious. Ready to drink with minimal decanting. So much complexity. Rich dark fruits, tobacco, and vanilla on the nose. Even better while drinking. Strong finishing wine as well.

Pretty well balanced with good fruit on the nose. Black cherry and tobacco notes. Medium tannins, I'd say less than typical red zinfandels.

Cab lovers pinot. Leadoff batter for Xmas. Well balanced. A little alchohol on the nose initially. Opened up in short time (20 minutes or so) and held up well, evolved over the next 90 minutes to something medium bodied. Very nice at 16 years.

Not your typical Zinfandel. Much more fruit on the nose and a much smoother finish without too much oak.

Really well balanced wine. Dark berry and vanilla on the nose. Medium tannins and very good finish. Opened up well early and got better during the meal.

This was a really delicious chardonnay. Not too oakey. Somewhere between a white burgundy and chardonnay.

Took a little while to open up, but once it did it was tremendous. Recommend decanting 2 hours before drinking.

Balanced finish. Fruit forward. Distinctive Stags Leap taste. Paired with truffle and mushroom pizza and was perfect.

Good fruit up front, with medium tannins. Wine finished pretty well. Could probably use a few more years in the bottle.
