The grapes for this immense, rich blueberry jammy Syrah come from NFL's John Madden’s ranch. It’s as big and loud as he can be, with not quite enough fruit or acid to overcome the alcohol, which even gets in the way of the nose. With a small percentage of Grenache blended in and the whole aged in 100% American oak (1/3 new), this style may appeal to some;, but can be interpreted as overly voluptuous, even on a second tasting eight hours after the first. Decant or, preferably, give it another 3–5 years.

A nice Cab that’s likeable for its polished currant, cherry and herb flavors and delicate but rich tannins. There’s something softly feminine about the way it coats the palate and remains easy and flavorful through the long finish.

This impressive Chardonnay from a small Livermore Valley producer is on the austere side of Chardonnay, with notes of just-ripe pear, tiny hints of wet stone, a nice, nutty finish and enough body to go with a wealth of foods. Good balance too.
