Matthew's Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Sat in open bottle for an hour then decanted! Delightful on the nose from the start. Open taste was full of tannin and somewhat young. 2 hours later after opening and decanting as described, strong currant,lite oak, blackberry, blueberry gives the strong finish. — 6 months ago

Wildfoote Vineyard Vixen Block Cabernet Sauvignon

Was hoping to like this but it was a solid if unmemorable CA Cab. Nothing much to say which is all I have to say…. — 3 years ago

Juicy nose of green apple, dried chrysanthemum, pineapple, and subtle vanilla on the nose. Rich and dense, almost oily, on the palate, but not heavy. Round acidity laced with mint. Energetic and well balanced. — 6 years ago

Thought I was a Foxen, Sea Smoke and Patz & Hall fan. Guess again...generally, pretty delicious juice.

This is another blend. But this time it’s Cab, Syrah and Mourvèdre. — 5 years ago

Viña Ventisquero

Grey [Glacier] Single Block Trinidad Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This wine is dark and savory. The black fruit comes along with cedar, vanilla and a chalky earth tone. Nothing like Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, but more in line with Paso Robles. Lots of South American minerals having a bit of roughhouse here. — 5 years ago

Block M Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2014

14 drinking near peak of mature brightness and silky tannins - really balanced front to back...I really love Melville! I think it’s the most underrated winery in the US likely! Really expressive and nice pure fruit! — 6 years ago

Hunnicutt

Brinkman Block Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Fantastic GIII fruit. Deep rich character. Blackberry, leather, a little spice. Nice long balanced finish. Decanted for 2 hours. Needs more than that. Structure leads me to believe this is a 25+ year wine. — 5 years ago

Block I-4 Stagecoach Vineyard Syrah 2017

Venge definitely doesn’t miss the mark with this fine Syrah. Finest Rhone I’ve enjoyed all year in fact! Dark, brawn and restrain. Will be a great one to buy and lay down as well! — 6 years ago
