2006 Palmaz Vineyards Muscat Canelli Florencia - Palmaz web site (USA, California, Napa Valley) Nice soft Palmaz desert wine. Not over the top but good quality. The color was almost like water... I guess that would be no color. No... it had ...

2003 Lancaster Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley) Nice wine for the money. I had a glass of this Lancaster Cabernet Sauvignon at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco. The bottle was opened new at my table and poured ...

Prunotto Barolo 2000 (Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo) Decanted for 1 hour. The color was deep purple leaning toward the brownish side. The color and nose really yelled "old world" with leather, plum and raisins. Good start. The palate was not as exciting. ...

2004 Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley (USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley) This 2004 Jordan Cabernet was a little underwhelming for me. I expected more depth from a California Cabernet. It might be that Jordan wanted this to be ...

1998 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Napa Valley) Visited the winery in late June to do a tour and tasting. Deep red color. Strong nose of cedar, black currant and a hint of leather. Nose was more exciting than the palate. ...

1991 Mouton Rothschild. (France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac) I was looking forward to this wine. The 1991 vintage is one of the less desirable in 2 decades but I was still excited to try it. The cork was super soaked and still good ...

Goldeneye (Duckhorn) Pinot Noir 2005 (USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley) Nice Pinot. The wine jumped right out at you because it was very hot and bothered. The nose was leathery with chocolate and espresso. It was fun to smell and very ...
