A Wine

Calistoga Cellars Zinfandel -2001 (WE-29518)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Dark and richly structured, this is a classy style of Zin that features velvety tannins supporting a layered array of black cherry, plum, licorice, toast, vanilla and spice flavors. It’s smooth and ripe to the very end, quite elegant and long. 1 Note

Villa Mt. Eden Zinfandel -2002 (WE-47430)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

When they talk about claret-like Zins, they have this one in mind. It has the effortlessly controlled balance, the smooth tannins of a fine Napa Cab, but never loses Zin’s peppery, wild, fresh-from-the-forest personality, or zesty acidity. This is Zin at a very high level of expression. 1 Note

Rowland Cabernet Sauvignon -1997 (WE-2631)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A wine from vineyards in the Atlas Peak and Stags Leap sections of the valley, this is very dry, lean and conjures up memories of unclassified wines from the Médoc. A bit short on sweet, appealing character. 1 Note

Frog's Leap Chardonnay -1998 (WE-1869)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A light wine with mild lemon and tropical fruit aromas. The mouthfeel is lean and tangy, with green-apple flavors. Finishes a bit tart, with a citrusy sharpness. Not this winery's best performance. 1 Note

Napa Cellars Chardonnay -1998 (WE-3684)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Grapefruit and melons, but also a plastic, almost banana pudding side to the nose. The palate has some dull grapefruit and plenty of tang. Overall it seems almost like a Sauvignon Blanc, but as a Chardonnay it seems lacking varietal correctness and style. 1 Note

William Hill Estate Chardonnay -1998 (WE-3062)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

There’s a mixed-fruit salad in here: oranges, pineapple, lime and peach. Sure, there’s some oak-imparted vanilla, but overall it’s a solid, fruity wine with a lovely sense of balance. 1 Note

Rosenblum Zinfandel -1997 (WE-2138)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Forward raspberry fruit highlights an immediately likable, quaffable Zin. There’s a little too much heat (alcohol) in the finish, which comes off feeling a bit thin. 1 Note

Honig Cabernet Sauvignon -1996 (WE-2193)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

From the Rutherford section of Napa, here’s another fine example of the emerging quality of the ’96 vintage. Excellent aromas of brambly fruit, mint, cedar and cola introduce a velvety, balanced body. All parts are in sync with each other. Soft on the palate and smooth and light through the finish, it’s a Cabernet that’s easily approachable now, and well priced to boot. 1 Note

Raymond Merlot -1997 (WE-4137)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Smells fine and rich. The black-currant aromas hit you first, followed by subtler violet, chocolate and spice notes. Wonderful extract, like drinking the essence of blackberry syrup. Tannins are soft, luxurious and complex. It’s very dry. Probably best to drink it young to capture its youthful vivacity. 1 Note

Domaine Carneros Champagne Blend -1997 (WE-7087)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Has pretty aromas of toast, vanilla, and spice, with peach, apple, smoke and buttery notes. Not much evidence of yeast or lees. It drinks rich and fruity. Very much in the California style of forward fruit, with good acidity. 1 Note
