Even color. Forward pepper scent but tastes more well rounded. Residual alcoholic heat on aftertaste.
Comments immediately after opening. Need to let it breathe a bit — 7 years ago

Dark fruit, but nimble. Daresay the 1899 is curvaceous for an Oregon Pinot Noir?! Made without electricity or modern equipment, Illahe has gone totally old school in finding out how the soul of wine shows with rustic techniques, like 50% whole cluster, native yeasts, and foot pedal bicycle pumps give a wine mysterious depths. Answer: makes unmistakable big & subtle differences! — 8 years ago

Crux Fermentation Project 2014 Banished Tough Love Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. Perhaps the best barrel aged stout I've had. More iron fist in a velvet glove than in your face bourbon and stout concoction. Intoxicating nose of vanilla beans, cherries & chocolate. Those flavors carry over in spades to the palate, but no bourbon heat kick on the finish. So well integrated. — 9 years ago

2014 vintage.
Soooo good. Durian, custard-apple (a heady mix of terpenes and thiols) with searing acidity and elevated body. #7solution — 9 years ago

Amazing experiment of terroir and three incredible winemakers. Loved Andrew of Bouchaine's take on Lindsay's Vineyard. This is a fun and delicious Pinot. — 10 years ago

Flippin' delicious. Have no clue what the varietals are in this blend. Don't see a vintage on front or back label. High in alcohol but who cares! Thanks Sauvage for pouring BTG! #caliwinesrock — 11 years ago

Nose is like sitting on the coast of Maine. Salinity and pineapple sage on the palate. Nice mellow acidity. This could age even a bit longer. — 7 years ago

This is Maison Louis Jadot's first wine project outside of Burgundy, France, since 1859. The 2013 is their debut release from the Résonance Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton wine region, and does not disappoint. Vivid Ruby with a nose of spice accented red fruits. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, hints of cinnamon and earthy notes. Tannins are well structured on a long finish ending with some tangy mineral notes. Aging will benefit. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Dried flowers with a touch of volatility on the finish. Acid sneaks up at the end. Not for everyone, but definitely for me. — 10 years ago

A group of guys decided to meet up at our Wine Storage facility and bust out some unique bottles! Scores and notes to follow!

The best of the 3 Petite Sirahs opened tonight. The fruit on this '09 was absurd. This is a Shafer project, and when their Relentless dwindled in Petite sirah make up, it became this. This is a big medley of blue and black fruits, licorice, sweet tarts and vanilla. Best petite sirah to date easily. Thanks Bill! — 7 years ago

Skin-fermented old vine Pinot Grigio. Beautiful color that I would describe as a blood orange wine rather than an orange wine. Very interesting and enjoyable, but obviously showing very young at this point. According to Abe's notes, Steverjan is the Slovenian name for the village of Collio, the home of Radikon and Gravner. — 9 years ago

80% Verdelho, with the rest being Chard, Sauv Blanc and Gewürz. 16.35% alc! Slightly oxidized in the best sort of way, with aromatics that are all over the map. I love this. A geeky pleasure as all Scholiums tend to be. — 9 years ago

This is a deep red wine table wine. Tannins are Le, fruit is bold, has the nose of a Cab color of a Petit-Sarah, and finishes like a Cab-Franc. Paid $9.99 at local grocer. Product of Don Sebastiiani and Sons — 11 years ago
