Beautiful Sonoma Coast Syrah. Won’t ever be confused with an Old World Syrah but no less enjoyable. — 4 years ago

Cherry and jammy but with character. Excellent nose and flavor. I don't even particularly gravitate towards cabs but this one's a keeper. — 8 years ago

A hot tub and a cool wine...pop and pour. A wondrous inky ruby red. On the nose: blue fruit, plum, wet leaves, dried herbs. Taste: blueberry, spice, minerals....a rich mouthfeel leading to a black cherry vanilla medium finish with some slightly grippy tannins. — 6 years ago

Each of the three sisters plays a role and behaves in the backseat of this family vacation. As long as you don’t forget about the dog tied to the bumper, this fruit forward medley will tantalize. — 7 years ago

Deep fruit with spice! Delicious on the first and second day! I can’t remember having very many 100% carignane but wow. — 8 years ago

2019 Disgorgement is in the zone with its ultra complex aromatic profile and chiseled palate with riveting energy and a seamlessly balanced expression of layered red berry fruit and chalky minerality. VO base with a touch of still Pinot from Francis Egly. Always a treat ❤️ — 4 years ago

Opulent and complex. Green apple, peach, a bit pipe apple, brioche, fresh bread dough, chalk, sea shells, and hint of toasted nuts. Savory and crisp at the same time. Splendid acidity. Super energetic mousse, though lacking a bit refinement.
Base wine is 2011, disgorged 2018. This and the Bollinger Special Cuvée are two of my favorite NV Champaign from larger houses. With 40% reserved wine averaged 10 year old, the CH Brut Reserve no doubt is a better value. — 6 years ago

2008 base vintage. Bereche’s Tete du Cuvée. At that point where the elegance of age greets the crispness of youth. — 7 years ago

NV base 2014, disgorged in 2017, consumed August, 2018. Balanced, slightly chalky, brioche. Easy to drink now - bet it will be amazing in 10 years. Glad that I have more in the cellar. — 8 years ago

An elegant Pinot, gave it an hour to open and brought it refrigerated to dinner. Anderson Valley nose of strawberry followed by a velvety mouthfeel and bright cherry fruit flavors. A long, supple finish follows. — 8 years ago

Just what I was looking for to go with shrimp in a cream sauce over pasta.
