-1996 Herzog Special Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Had a glass of this wine at my in-law's house. Its a kosher wine that'll knock your socks off! Loads of berries and a crisp bite with a long delightful finish that seemed to last for minutes! Mazel Tov!!!
-1997 Rutherford Hill 23rd Anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, A gift from my good friend Phil, we opened this and shared it with him two nights back. Wow! The age on this reminded me so much of the '97 Silverado I had. That smoothness from the softening tannins, an aroma of raspberry jam locked inside a cedar-chest, and the flavors echoed the scent on your tongue! Two thumbs up to Phil on his introduction into bottle aged wine.
-2004 Darioush Signature Label Viognier, This was a special bottle we picked up in Napa last summer. Dariuosh is owned by Darioush Khaledi, and he created a Persian Palace in Napa. The wines are very pricey, but boy are they good. I can't even describe the Viognier we had for Easter today. It started off creamy and than transformed into a basket of peaches and apricots with just the right level of alcohol. The pictures don't do the winery justice!
-2001 Rodney Strong "A True Gentleman's Port," Oh baby was this good! I opened it the other night to share with Phil and had some more today. Its a splendid Cabernet Franc Port that is so easy to sip and enjoy.
There were some more wines from the past week, but nothing to shocking. I will be not posting for the next week as I trek to Oregon and Willamette Valley. There should be reviews, pictures, and stories trickling in after this week. And hopefully news regarding a possible new job! We'll see! Till next time..."Don't ask questions like that up in wine country. They'll think you're some kind of dumbshit, OK?"--Miles, Sideways (2004)
