California Rosé Blend
Bright, medium garnet; rosé, even this one, often tricks me into thinking of strawberries; palate full of spicy red and black fruit with mourvèdre peeking out at the finish. Delicious as usual. — 3 years ago

California Syrah 2014
For planning purposes of something in the future, I tasted 2014 central coast Syrahs from high end producers blind. Along with the Lillian (my bottle), there was SQN, Andremily, Torrin Akasha, Booker Fracture, Alban Reva and Alban Lorraine.
First off, I love these wines. The price in comparison to the others is impressive, and it always delivers. I double decanted this about two hours prior to the blind tasting. Dark purple in the glass, with aromatics of both sweet oak as well as whole cluster stem inclusion. Loads of dark floral notes, ripe blackberries, cherry jerky and that kiss of sweet oak. The palate remained the same from opening through the end of the blind tasting…a distinctly fuzzy profile on the palate with gorgeous mid palate depth and richness of blue and black fruits with plenty of herbal flair and spice. It toes the line between cool climate Syrah with their signature black peppercorn and iron, as well as big central coast Rhône style with its rich and textural palate. No rush on opening, but it sure is great now.
Out of the 7 in the lineup, this was the “cheapest”, and tied for 3rd place (with the Andremily being the runaway favorite, Alban Lorraine taking second, and this tying the SQN). — 4 years ago

No. 4 Syrah 2015
Another 4th Friday for the books! Insane pulls this month to follow up the most epic month (April) that we’ve ever had!
Incredibly fortunate to taste this side by side with the Sami-Odi. This had more of a beef jerky/smoked meat nose, and the palate was less floral and more peppercorn, blackberry, currant and incredibly full bodied without being overbearing. Been on the list for a year or two...hope to get an offer soon! Awesome pull by @Keith Fisher ! — 7 years ago

Gold Series No. 03 Syrah
Last of a 3-pack and another wine (and producer) that I always ask “why don’t I buy more of this?”, especially as prices climb for so many others, yet these stay fairly consistent. Consumed from bottle over the course of an afternoon.
Gold label (extended barrel age). It’s tempting to want to compare these to SQN (or Andremily) due to winemaker, and while they share many similarities, Lillian seems to have a more elegant and floral profile. Deep black/purple in the glass, immediately smells of green whole cluster spice, black peppercorn, lavender and black berry fruit. The palate is very spice driven (herbal, pepper), with ripe red and dark fruit (raspberries, blackberries), and potpurri. Nothing about this is rich or extracted. Still sports a grippy finish, but the acidity right now keeps this well balanced. May get a tiny bit better, but this seems to be in the zone at the moment. — 2 years ago

Santa Barbara County Mourvedre 2019
Hello beautiful, I mean Mourvedre.
“Simply the best.” ~Black Eyed Peas.
Super expressive nose. Scents of preserved fruit, earth, rose petals and olives. Full-bodied and savory. Layers of complexity, dense fruit, balance and fresh acidity.
The 2019 Mourvedre is 81% Mourvèdre, 18% Syrah and 1% Viognier. The winemaker, Jim Binns, was assistant winemaker at Sine Qua Non before starting Andremily. The Andremily website offers this on the 2019 — it leaps from the glass offering a head bouquet of smoked meats, ground pepper, boysenberry, blackberries, expresso, and plenty of Mourvedre funk. With a rich full texture, ripe tannins, and a lingering finish that goes on for more than a minute, this is one sexy Mourvedre.
Rule #35 Absolutely nothing wrong with opening a young wine when it is as good as this one ☝️. Yes I could have held it for a few years, but why?!

Ratsel 16 Syrah 2016
Första känslan var amerikansk Syrah. Påminde mycket om Andremily. Vilken inte visade sig vara konstigt. Superextraherad och fullpackad med smak. Mogna plommon, vinbär, eukalyptus, alkohol, tanin, kanel. Sjukt nog väldigt frisk och tillgänglig. Amerikanskt hedonistisk som jag får ge vika för. Sjukt god. — 6 years ago

My first time trying this wine after hearing about it for so long. Made by the vineyard manager of the famed Bien Nacido vineyard, Chris Hammell.
Clocking in at roughly 50 Grenache/25 Syrah/10 Mourvèdre/10 PS and the rest viognier, this toes the line between SQN/Andremily vibes and serious Paso (Saxum). It sports all of the luxurious fruit but no trace of stems or spice. From start to finish, this is a meaty wine, but not funky. Ripe dark fruits, smoked meat, bit of violets/floral tones. At almost 10yrs, it’s fairly integrated showing dark fig, roasted blackberries, spiced ripe black cherries toward the finish. Bull-in-the-china shop type GSM, but it meets you in the middle if you love big central coast style or Paso. Pop and enjoy. — 2 years ago
