2 great 99s from long-time great wineries. Simi & Sebastiani

[winoweenie]

Both were Alexander Valley bottlings and as a duet they wouild have wowed them at the Met. Red and bl;ack fruits are hallmarks of the fruit from this outstanding area. Supple, soft, beautifully balanced. Both still have some soft tannins but are getting on. The Sebastiani was slighly deeper and more earthy while the Simis' brite fruits hit high C. Both of these dudes made the honor role, 91/95. 18 by the box. 14.4% Seb..13.5% Simi WW

Thot BRW was going to join me at the club for lunch but after lollygading in Michigan at the lake he ACTUALLY had to work so I had the pleasure of these all to meself(along with the regulars at the bar). Not much to add as both are as good as they're going to get. By the way KC, the club has expanded out and is 50% larger than it was and is so posh I'm afraid I'll get the granite bar-top dirty but the food is still solid so not relinquishing me membership ennytime soon.
