Alamo Creek San Luis Obispo Syrah 2008

Weirdly tasty, and extremely savory. I get tomatoes and bell peppers with a background of cherries, particularly after a decant. — 8 years ago

Contra. California Red Blend 2012

Old school California style field blend, with lots of ripe, wild dark berry fruit but none of the jamminess and oak to screw it up. Really delightful. — 9 years ago

Le Cigare Blanc Réserve en Bonbonne Roussanne Blend 2013

The wine is a lovely and rich greenish gold, much the same as the LCB “normale,” but maybe a little more vibrant. Aromas are predictably savory - beeswax, lanolin, minerals, citrus - and flavors walk that same path. The tropical fruit hits hard, with that Roussanne nuttiness right behind. The earthy, almost soapy, note stays long after the sip while acidity holds a high threshold. You could spend $45 on a Chardonnay very easily, but this wine gives you something much more interesting for your investment. — 8 years ago

Clos de Gilroy Central Coast Grenache 2012

In my mind, the premiere expression of (value) CA Grenache. Tart, bright, enough vanilla and cracked pepper. Tuesday (Asian) Turkey burgers never tasted so good. Well played, Randall. — 10 years ago

Cuvée R Rancho Solo Grenache 2014

On the lawn for Tanglewood this evening, Film Night with Andris Nelsons & John Williams, mostly playing scores from JW scored films, Dracula, E.T., Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, Harry Potter and of course Star Wars!
Slight oak, but total Grenache profile in your palate, nice but was a little chilly.
