AT Lauren's for Collin's birthday. This was brought by one of the guests, cracked it during the evening.
Darker garnet color. Spice and red fruit on the nose. Blackberry, spices, vanilla oak and tobacco.
I like SLWC in general, their Cask 23 ages beautifully. This one is ready now, would drink over the next 5 years

Dark ruby color. Rich jam, tobacco, and back pepper on the nose. Full and rich on the palate with raspberry jam and more of the black pepper. Good components overall, and would drink over the next 4-5 years.. A nice wine and good price point.

If you liked the Artemis try their FAY.
The CSJ CS was WS #1 wine a few years back, ever since then the prices are crazy.

Cakebread is all time fav. Hard to go wrong with a few others here. Waiting for a good excuse to break into the Opus One.

Are you a Mondavi wine club member? The Opus one isn't all that great.Quote:

Nothing below the Mondavi reserve has ever done much for me, but their vineyard tour is amazing if you want to spend the time and get to taste the grapes and see how it all starts.Quote:

I went to Mondavi because it was pretty much the first vineyard that you come to on the left hand side of the road. I could take it or leave it. I know there is all kinds of politics involved with pretty much every vineyard up there as to who started with who, who's grapes are going into what, and who took which blend from who. At the end of the day, it's way too much to try and keep up with. Got my sister from another mother in Napa who swears by pretty much anything from Duckhorn. To me, Mondavi is way too safe of a choice for all the other options in that realm.Quote:

Coppola was a great looking vineyard with a very impressive entrance and grounds. Nicolas Cage's uncle by the way, with lots of great memorabilia upstairs. The wine? Didn't really do it for me.
Cakebread has my vote all across the board. They have the Dancing Bear Ranch Reserve that is amazing as well. If I'm cracking open a bottle I'd like to enjoy it. Had a crazy high maintenance girl who would knock back $400 in wine at dinner with a few friends and not think about it. After the first bottle, throttle it back a bit.
I hate politics...it does nothing for my pallet lolQuote:

Was speaking more to the politics of the vineyards and who's fucking whom... not in the DC sense of it. Everyone up there was the first to perfect anything they ever did. Funny stuff actually.Quote:
