Smooth fruity notes... discovered at National Anthem in Dallas... paired well with cheese enchilada double burger — 4 years ago
A shame this is una volta because this is spectacular. All the depth, and savoury spine of the best otago pinots but with the finesse that I love about Blank Canvas. They let the fruit speak in an unobtrusive way which in this case means red and black cherries, and a strong spine of spice shrouded in ultra fine tannin. As Julia Harding in JR.com says “.. Firm, gently chewy, with terrific density but all lithe and full of energy.” For $65 this is Burgundy 1er cru quality. The very best of what new world has to offer. — 2 years ago
New Anthem Beer Project : Clapback (Strata Triple Dry Hopped)
hand select Citra in the kettle, whirlpool, and then twice in a very generous double dry hop ~ THEN dry hopped a final time w Strata
honeydew and cantaloupe, then passion fruit and mango, w hints of citrus (grapefruit and maybe orange julius) — 4 years ago
75% Sauvignon blanc, 25% semillon. Richer and honey hued, tastes of melon, kiwi, mouthwatering acidity. More full bodied than a typical Sauvignon blanc - almost like an unoaked Chardonnay — 4 years ago

For Virginia, the CS does stand up and sing its anthem. As I always say, CS in the middle Atlantic is its own varietal format. Wow this one is not as bright with red fruits, it has a more sophisticated dark steakhouse feel to it. In the glass, not overly powerful, but with food, plenty sufficient in actually sang louder, went in the chorus of the culinary companionship. Decent length and strength to the finish. Just not elevating due to its softer construction. — 6 days ago
