Bryan opened this for us at Oakton Wine Shop at our little stop over this afternoon. Dark ruby red with purplish hues. Nose had some restrained dark berries. Definitely tight but started to open up with some more baking spices, like cinnamon. A little dirty too, like dust or dirt undertones. Slight heat on the nose. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) definitely needs some time to develop and fill out. Dark cassis and cherries with an undertone of warm spices with a little bite. Seems like the fruit on the palate is tied down. Kinda makes us want to cuddle up and watch a movie very warm and grows on you. Drink from 2017 till 2026. — 9 years ago

2007, last vintage from the man.
Beautiful racer x focus. Like french kissing a river stone - the age put more viscosity into the boat releasing gentle oils. The only bottle I had left. Perfect timing. Drank with black salt oysters at restraint "Range", a Bryan voltaggio joint. — 10 years ago

Great stuff. Paired with Bryan Flannery's hanger steaks. Dark fruit, good acidity, medium plus tannins that were well integrated. This will be awesome in five to eight more years. — 10 years ago

Delicious dark fruit dominated by plum and ripe dark cherries. Formidable but smooth and approachable tannins. There aren't too many people who can pull off a pure petit Verdot but Bryan page did! — 11 years ago

No Syrah in the 2013 vintage. 40% Cab, 20% each: Grenache, Carignan, Merlot. Dark brick red and opaque, staining tears. Blueberry prominent on nose. Rich, silky, elegant. Soft tannins on finish. A beautiful wine that would definitely appeal to Napa Cab drinkers. Drank with Bryan Mendez 5/19/16. — 9 years ago

Babcock Red Table wine 2010, followed by Daniel Gehrs Port 2010, weighing in at 20% alcohol. After 10 years in the dark, this port speaks to you! Table wine is WAY underpriced at >$10...I purchased at $8 as a wine club member, thanks Bryan! — 12 years ago
