Wow.. bombshell Malbec by mister Phillip Titus himself. What a wine. Rose petal, smoke, cedar, blackberry jam, and pepper in a fragrance jettisoning out of the glass. The pallet is big and lush - deep extraction of the fruit, exhibiting notes of black plum, smoked blackberry compote, mocha, dark chocolate, black pepper - all laced by firm, but forgiving tannins. I do love Cabernet from P.T. (especially Chappellet) but when it comes to the non-traditional wines he creates like his Petit Verdot and Malbec, he brings something entirely different to the table. I should get as much of this 2012 as I can. Brings me back to having BBQ creek side, listening to Phillip tell me stories about Robert Mondavi while he had an IPA in hand. Bravo Mr. Titus. — 9 years ago

Absolute bombshell of a nose, like dipping your nose into a freshly baked blackberry tart, dripping with sweetness, succulent fruit, and a golden crust. In the mouth it's much less decadent, structured big tannins and a bit of pepper. A bit bummed the nose didn't carry over but it's good wine. — 9 years ago

For those of you who are interested in unbridaled opulence, the Nativ 'Eremo San Quirico' Aglianico Irpinia Campi Taurasini 2010 might be the wine for you. The nose fairly explodes with roasted cherries, plums, milk chocolate and vanilla, topped by a whiff of smoke and spice. There is some heft and power here, but it's almost entirely subdued by the more hedonistic elements of this Italian bombshell. Sultry overtones of figs, blackberries, and surprisingly, creme de menthe followed by cracked black pepper. — 10 years ago

Bright acid-rich bombshell, with mineral and meaty fragrances. Floral notes at first, changing in the glass... not a shy wine, likely polarizing... but for my tastes, and unique and delicious experience. — 7 years ago

A face-first broadside of ripe fruits. It could be tough to get nuance in bombshell like this but a unique cuvée accomplishes that. Overall it's more my style than many at this price range (and above) from Napa. It will be fun to watch this develop. — 9 years ago

Bombshell Sauv from Melka, as expected! The style weirdly reminded me of Pouilly-Fumé, with a flinty minerality and green melon on the nose. The acidity was medium plus, exhibiting a complex bouquet of tropical fruits, lemon peel, coconut, and a bit of vanilla to the finish. Went extremely well with a edamame humus with spiced chips, in an Asian flair restaurant. Could use some more of this one in my life. — 9 years ago

If every wine tells a story, this wine speaks of a warm sunny day. Spent frolicking in a grass meadow being cooled by gentle breezes while longingly staring at a bombshell blonde who deep down you believe is out of your league. Like the blonde, this is a well structured and complicated PF. Flavors of spiced oak, and green apples, with a crisp mineral backbone. Reminds me of fine Gruner Veltliner. #qprgem — 10 years ago
