'92 La Jota 11th Anniversary
Kapscandy GV
Becklyn Reserve
Maybach Materium & Amoenus
Shafer Hillside Select is definitely on my radar, I’ve had a few of their One Point Fives
Ned Valios - thanks for the note, I’ll start on those wines, seems like Mark Carter is ever-evolving.
I had the '96 La Jota Howell Mountain Anniversary and it was exceptional right out of the bottle, how was the '92? I have the ability to get it and was wondering how it was because of age
After drinking all of these wines, you start to become price conscious which I have become so don’t worry price is on my radar as well.
LOL Brian Tuite - was thinking of Mark Carter of Carter Cellars but I know who Mike Smith is as well…good catch. It’s been a long day at work and it’s not even 5pm yet.

There are a lot of good recommendations so far. I would also recommend the Caymus Special Selection, Mt. Brave Mount Veeder Cab and Switchback Ridge. One more, although it is from Sonoma and not Napa, would be the Hidden Ridge Impassable Mountain.
