Mark Herold 2014 “Collide” Red, California

by Keith S Wallace | 2014, California, Collide, Mark Herold | American Wine Reviews, Wine Reviews

  Mark’s new tasting room just opened in Napa –just down from the Oxbow Public Market– a scant three months before I reviewed his wines. I loved the room –super fun and modern– but another journalist gently pointed out that it was...

Robert Mondavi Winery 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville

by Keith S Wallace | Cabernet Sauvignon, California, wine review | American Wine Reviews, Wine Reviews

This was a wine I featured in the annual “8 wines to try before you die” class, which probably should be re-named “Keith’s wonky wine class.” Like must Napa Cabs that are typically sold for over $50, this is a great wine. But this wine is...
