Vine Hill Ranch

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Finding ways to stay warm post bombogenesis. Deep, deep garnet in the glass. Super extracted, it literally stains the glass as you swirl. Still very tightly wound, this has a very long life ahead. Dark red and blue fruits, violets, creme de cassis, hints of smoke, grippy tannins, and some bay leaf / wild herbs. Gorgeous with a 2 hour decant, but will be even better with a few more years on it.
Sincere thanks to the HFIC

Diamond Creek Vineyards

Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Fantastic offering from Diamond Creek, this 2006 is terrific. Classic Napa Cab nose loaded with intense aromas of blue and black fruits, with just a hint of earthiness on the edge. Full-bodied with just enough acidity to keep it moving, I have to imagine that this is pretty much at peak right now. — 10 years ago

Spicewood Vineyards

Texas Hill Country Tempranillo 2012

This wine is deep ruby in color with just a little light getting through the glass. The nose is pretty and flowery and fruity at first, but Mr. Savory sneaks in after it opens up a bit. Right at the top of the glass are smoky, leathery spices and earth. The palate is full of black and blue berries with a layer of minerals over them. The earthy component lasts well into the finish. — 10 years ago

Really delicious and easy to drink. Lighter in body than you’d expect from a Shiraz. Bright blue and black fruit, some florals, and nice grip without being too tannic.Great weeknight wine! — 8 years ago

Donelan

Walker Vine Hill Syrah 2013

Greg Ballington
9.3

First winery on day two in Sonoma was Donelan Family Wines in Santa Rosa with Meredith. The last Rhone varietal red was the Walker Vine Hill Syrah. Sadly we were told that this was the last vintage that will be produced. This bottling is made up of 100% Syrah and is around 40-50% whole cluster fermented then aged for 20 months in 25% new French oak. 1,025 cases produced.

Insanely dark and inky purplish ruby red, completely coats the glass. Dark berries on the start of the nose followed up by cinnamon, cocoa, blueberries and some dustiness. Medium plus tannins (7/10) with a full body. Rich and layered palate with red currants, red plums, even a touch of blue fruits and some solid minerality. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2028. (93+)

$$$ - Tasted at the winery. Retail price is $75.00.

Rene Rostaing

La Landonne Côte-Rôtie Syrah

We Aussies are rightly proud of our Shiraz and Shiraz blends but we have to take our hat off for a wine like this. An exercise in perfectly executed restraint. Some spice and a hint of pepper. Medium bodied. Notes made a few days later. A brilliant wine from Blue Hill at Stone Barns. 2006 vintage. — 10 years ago
