  July 22, 2012 - Cathy and I brought to Gordon's on the River in Naples. A bit high $25 corkage IMO, esp in summer when biz was slow. This was an awesome, awesome wine. Rich, full-flavored, NOT overly oaky. I recently opened a 2002 Sonoma Coast and as much as we loved it, this Napa Valley bottling topped it hands down. Despite 9 yrs of age the bottle didn't taste out of prime. This wine paired wonderfully with my delicious miso-infused seabass and Cath's veal oscar. Gave taste to sommelier Ian, captain Tom and food/bev mgr and all 3 seemed very impressed. Love watching expressions as they took first whiff and sip; more telling than their words

  May 26, 2012 - Not bad, but seems a little past it's prime. Seems like I let it sit a little to long. Color was good, albeit a bit cloudy, but taste is still sharp, but not quite as good as I recall

  June 22, 2011 - This wine seems to be in a really good spot right now. It had a slightly cloudy, mid depth yellow colour to it. The bouquet had notes of butter in it. When tasting it, lots of butter and honey as well as a slight hint of oranges. I don't know if these will continue to improve but it was a really enjoyable bottle to drink tonight.
