Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2014

I'm enjoying Gamay quite a bit.
The balance of fruit and acidity, plus the earthiness make it a great daily drinker.
Works with just about anything when it comes to food.

Sadie Family

Pofadder Swartland Cinsault 2013

Eben Sadie, King of South African Syrah, actually is a genius with every varietal he works with. From Syrah, Grenache, Chenin Blanc, and even this, 100% old vine Cinsault, raised in concrete and stainless steel, this wine is pure, vibrant, spicy and fresh with great depth in its pretty bouquet of wild strawberries, dark , stemmy fruit and minerals. A unique wine that can certainly age yet is absolutely delicious now. A fine, fine representation of single varietal Cinsault made by a great winemaker at the height of his craft. — 10 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2002

Scents of raisin, sumac, and alcohol, accented with date, fig, and raisin flavors. The high alcohol content makes it a bit hot to taste -- and sounds off-putting, but this wine works. Really well. The per bottle price at Zaytinya reflects a 3x markup, which is fair enough, but I'd buy this over and over again at $53 to have at home with a Mediterranean themed meal. — 10 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

9.1

A little quiet out of the gate, but rounded nicely into form after about an hour. Tough vintage in Rioja, and this definitely leans more on the feminine and acid driven side, which works for me. Classic Rioja, red fruit, leather, dust, balsamic and oak - beautiful with a rack of lamb. — 10 years ago

When Grenache works, wow, it's everything, fruit, texture, richness, freshness, what's the key to Grenache? Sometimes the terroir slot machine comes up with three cherries. — 11 years ago

Curious, what's the alcohol level? Grenache seems to sing its best (to me) at 14+%

Matt, I'm pretty sure the label says 14.5. It carries it like a champ though.

A bit of a surprise. This was a wine we bought on our California trip in 2013. Prager is mostly known for port, and it can be quite expensive, so we opted for this Petite Sirah, even though we didn't get to taste it. I was expecting a more extracted, jammy wine, but was met instead with something more structured and substantial. The nose is showing its 10 years in the bottle a little with some cigar box, and maybe a little fresh paint. Definitely still a surprising amount of tannins present as well as some black pepper. TL;DR This was a better than expected wine.

If you happen to have magret of duck lying around and perhaps serve it with duck fat fried potatoes, and maybe a side of Brussels sprouts, this works quite well despite its youth. Great QPR in cooler vintages. Honest earth-driven Willamette Pinot Noir. Re-buy? Hell yeah! — 11 years ago
