    February 2, 2024 - A 1974 Napa Retrospective (Zunfthaus zur Waag Zürich): A curiosity. Very sweet and slightly alcoholic, but quite enjoyable for fans of the style

    June 5, 2020 - Bought the wine at the vineyard ahoy 35 years ago. I didn’t know what to suspect when I opened it. Brownish in color. Tasted like a fine port

    May 22, 2020 - Läckert fortifierat vin, gjort på mission druvan som missionärerna tog med sig under koloniseringen av Nordamerika.

    September 18, 2014 - Heitz, Heitz, Heitz and Heitz: Brownish in color. Nose of walnut, maple syrup and malt. Reminded me a lot of an old Solera out of the 19th century. Nice sweetness, good structure. Quite thick. Overall an interesting wine. Drink now with no hurry.

    October 14, 2012 - Second Sunday Group: 2004 California Cabs (Rich & Dana's): Tasted double blind with dessert. Brownish color - looks like a sherry; has some sediment. Notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel and apricot syrup. Rich texture, with flavors of maple candy, fig and caramel apple. I think most of the group guessed sherry. 89+ pts.
