More Reserved and old world style of RRV Chardonnay than the opulent and butter driven styles we’ve come to expect. Best on day 2 and 3. — 6 years ago

Becker Vineyards

Texas Malbec 2020

Here’s a curveball. It opens up to soaked wet corn notes and evolves to plush red fruit on the palate; good backbone, firm tannins, full bodied, high alcohol, big, bold and yes, (Malbec) is bigger (when made) in Texas. — 2 years ago

Demuth Vineyard Pinot Noir 2005

I keep trying Anthill Farms in hopes of truly appreciating their craft. To this bottling, I’m sadly not there. They make decent Pinot but there are others better at the same price point or less.

2005 shows evolution but is still quite big. I would say it is overly extracted.

The nose shows ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries, raspberries and some blueberry hues. Soft dry soil, limestone, dry, crushed rocks, light baking spices, red cherry cola, dark, red, blue florals, red roses & liquid violets.

The body is round, ripe and lush; blackberries, dark cherries for days, strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate and blueberry hues. Soft dry soil, dry & fresh herbs, moist clay, limestone, dry, crushed rocks, light baking spices; clove, cinnamon, light nutmeg, vanilla, melted caramel, red & mid berry cola, mid, dark spice, dark, red, blue florals, red roses & liquid violets, nice rainfall acidity, well balanced, big structure-tension, elegant finish that lasts a minute and lands on fruit, herbs and earth.

@Joshua Fisher it all boils down to the kind of Pinots that do or do not fall into a persons wheelhouse.

@Joshua Fisher This one is now roughly 18 years in bottle and drank like it was 6 years in bottle. It was still big; which tells me something about it when it was still young. The fruits still very bold and prominent. I would also add that this was likely picked at somewhat higher brix’s level than I prefer as it was also still on the sweeter side nearly 20 yrs down the road.

Iconoclast Texas Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Visiting Fredericksburg TX for a few days. This is TX hill country and has a big winery community. Never tried any TX wines before but found a few surprises here. We tasted at Becker earlier today but not this wine. $30 on the restaurant wine list. Becker wasn’t our favorite stop but it is the only local winery represented on their list. Overall local wines seemed overpriced compared to CA wines. Just realized we had an older vintage (2018) on our last trip from Houston to Anaheim. It’s interesting that most of the grapes used in the local wines come from Lubbock (panhandle) area. Don’t know where these grapes came from, or what varietals are present. — 5 years ago

ZBO Ricca Terra Farms The Riverland Zibibbo 2019

100% Zibbibo (Muscat), old vines planted in 1945. 13.2% ABV

Muscat done as orange wine in clay Amphora, and some time under Flor. Dried apricot, floral, terra cotta notes & texture. Dry, long finish. Very nice, fun & exciting.
