Holus Bolus Presqu'ile Vineyard Syrah 2022

2022 vintage. Pretty nose. The flavors alternate, tho, between the tawdry/dirty and the elegant. Something for everyone. Medium body with an enduring finish. Very nicely made. 6.21.24. — a month ago

Black Sheep Pinot Noir 2021

This wine had notes of strawberry, some black cherry, balanced overall fruit flavors, with undertones of vanilla. Generally this was neither on what can sometimes be a Pinot’s spicy side or inversely a delicate side. This really just was an overall well-balanced, enjoyable wine. Would definitely drink again. — 9 months ago

Quinta do Carmo

Reserva Tinto 2003

I suppose this is considered old wine (or at least in my book it is)... It’s 21 years old to be exact. And it is fascinating, the wine still looks and feels pretty young. Very exuberant with notes of leather, oak, cocoa, tobacco, smoke and baked black berries, some humidity as well. The palate is joy: smooth and velvety with dark fruit, vanilla, chocolate, some dry mushroom and perfectly balanced acidity. It is dry, bold, complex, with medium alcohol. Killer wineshop find!

I wasn’t able to find much info on this wine, any shared knowledge on the comments would really enlighten me. Apparently there is some affiliation with Lafitte… Not comparing, I haven't had the pleasure of tasting it, but this one really blew me out of the water. Cheers to great finds.

Dr. L Mosel Riesling 2021

Juicy, fruity and perfumed, with balanced sweetness. Excellent food wine but also a fine aperitif or anytime drink. With only 8.5 ABV, this wine is perfect for summer day-drinking. Enjoyed this gem at the Black Sheep restaurant in Santa Barbara. — a year ago

Reduction initially. Decant helped. Really opened up with herbs, vegetables, some dark fruit and cassis. Definitely northern Rhône style. Nothing quite like this one. — a year ago
