Mouth watering.

Try this one next..

[TheRolexKingofLV]

Very nice Mark! We actually sell grapes to Caymus for there Pinot Noir label "Belle Glos". I definitely need to get some Pinot Noir in your life!

[Runnin' Rebel]

Hi Trace..
I've never had a Pinot Noir I liked. Good luck with this lol

[TheRolexKingofLV]

Pinot can be as "big" as any Cab if they are made like true Burgundian Pinot Noirs. Problem is you've probably only been exposed to California"fruit bomb" Pinots. Like the above Cabs, there's more to life than what's available at the corner "wine shop" or Lees Liquors. You don't have to know about Cabs to grab that above line-up. All that was missing is some Opus One Those are wines to impress your friends IMHO.

I guess, but I buy for me. And the corner stores don't carry any of those. Especially in those years. Actually, most if not all were auction only. Forget Lee's or Total Wines, they are over priced and couldn't find any of these in the store anyways. And I did put a lot of time in this selection, locating and the particular vintage. And I disagree on grabbing the wines above, to me these are special, at least for my taste. If you know of any wine stores in town that still carry 1997 or 2007 let me know. Forget finding any of the Caymus 2012 Anniversary at the price I got them for, especially the liter bottle.

And I bought the 2012 Joseph Phelps Insignia prior to the big rating it got, so I saved a ton of money on those. <160.00

[selpo]

I would suggest getting on Hundred Acre mail list and well worth the wait!

If you want to order both though now I get my Colgin and other hard to source wines from: http://www.cellaraiders.com

Ben Wallace the owner is a class act and they have amazing inventory.

Thanks for sharing the link -- I wasn't aware of them, and it's always good to have sources for older vintages!

Thank you very much for your advice, I will do both

Fabulous bottles Mark, really great selections. I have a few 2012 Diamond Creek's myself I'm going to try and sit on them for a few years but man the fruit in those bottles is so fresh and lively it's a real chore not to open them up!!

[azguy]

No messing around there. I have a client that just retired and they are moving to Yountville as soon as their house sells to become professional wino's

The wine shop in the "mall" there is an awesome place to drink. I just got my club email from Mumm today to go pick up my Nov. wine, can't wait.

[rr-nyc]

Nice selections! Enjoy

Great stuff!
You truly have some heavyweights there!

Enjoy them!

[jwkunkle]

Wowza....awesome selection. Many are on my all time fav list of Cali cabs! Nice work.

[HL65]

Fantastic Mark and of course the Hundred Acre is tops. All good picks tough and ones I know you'll enjoy. Cheers,

[GerardoG]

One question: what is you ur 'drinking plan' for these? Short term storage? Long term? Just curious...

[One Ping Only]

Great selections Mark. Our wine club selections are arriving now, and our bottles in storage back east just arrived as well.

I am with you on the Pinot Noir, never a big fan.

Hi everyone..
I'd like to start out saying I don't collect wine. I drink it. I have enough of older vintages to last a while 1997 on up to 2010, most are ready to drink. Anything past 2010 I can sneak a drink using The Coravin Model 1000 wine preservation system. Go to Utube to read up, a really nice item to have if you just want a glass and save the rest for up to 12 months, or even longer. I believe Ken has this system too, so he could input his feelings on this.

I really got lucky on 2012 Joesph Phelps Insignia, I went over board cause 2012 was such a amazing year. I bought way to much but this will last at least 20 years, but it won't, not in this house and all my friends are winos who just go nuts when they're over

2013 will be another if not better year then 2012 for the Napa Area. I wasn't going to buy the liter bottles of Caymus but seeing I saw a really good price I picked up 12 and then 12 of the .750 liter as well. Also I have a lot of the 2013 Caymus, hoping the ratings are up in the very high 90's. I know that it will taste good anyways. I hope that the wineries all start doing 1 liter actually.

I'll finish up later

Yes Mark Coravin amazing invention and works perfectly. Allows you to drink a glass or 2 without ever opening bottle.
