We have our annual end of summer vacation coming up in September and my wife has requested mostly whites for this trip as I tend to push the red pretty heavily even in the summer. But for her, anything!!

I have a few, but they need age, these 14's are ready to drink now, I think 14 burgs are perfect for drinking young.

Questions for all the aficionados here. I know many of you have much more wine knowledge than I.

How do you feel about:
1) Grown, Produced, and Bottled
2) Produced and Bottles
3) Vinted/Cellared and Bottled

I try to only purchase #1 or #2 for my personal cellar and/or consumption. I will drink #3 if it is free, but I try to avoid ever paying for it.

I have a single bottle of the 2013 Southing, should I drink it now or sit on it a little longer?

I'm sure there will be dissenters on this but in my view domestic Pinot's don't benefit greatly from aging. I mean can they, sure but on the whole stylistically they do better when young IMHO

BNA/LION · 30 July 2017, 12:48 PM

Enjoying this Cab.

Runnin' Rebel · 30 July 2017, 01:47 PM

Nice Larry, that should be a wine club Cabernet??

Maybe not though it's not that inexpensive

I've had that and good story on how it's made.

^^Daughter and I last night

^^ tonight

Try some Thomas PN with 5+ years on them compared to the recent release, and you'll agree that they benefit greatly with aging.

Have also had a sublime 2005 SQN Over and Out at a birthday celebration in 2014, but that could also just be Manfred Krankl sprinkling his super secret crack sauce in the barrels......

It was amazing, Mark. Now if I can only get on their list to acquire I would be all set!

SQN doesn't count, as you alluded to. Plus they don't make it anymore so there's that

Plus like I said there are always exceptions LOL

'12 Nickel & Nickel Merlot

RHIII · 1 August 2017, 07:06 AM

Tonight's selection --- '12 Ladera Reserve -- this is probably the best wine from Ladera I've had.

Medium to full bodied -- it has some notes of cassis and blueberry -- opens up quite nicely -- without overdoing it. Quite tame and yet super balanced for Howell mountain fruit...

Very much a Bordeaux-Esque Napa Cab.

Cheers all!!

You tried Ladera's Lone Canyon cab? I got a couple mags of the 2006 after that vineyard was sold off to Bill Harlan for his Promontory bottling.

No, talked about it at the Vineyard when the wife and I were last there -- as I'm a big 06 and 07 advocate -- but it wasn't available to taste while we were there.
