Madeira and Sherry-like. Oxidative notes, toffee, caramel and a hint of sea salt with terrific acidity. — 7 years ago

This is my Hurricane Harvey wine. After being housebound by flooding for 6 days I decided to open this gem from Morlet which shows all the classic Knight's Valley character I love. It is a treasure of cassis, black currants, incense and sandalwood, tar and menthol. Black pepper and spice box. The palate is a layered as is the nose, with a succulentdark fruit core framed with understated, fine,, mouthcoating tannins. 15.0% alcohol — 8 years ago

This is a fantastic white wine! Light gold in color, with green highlights. Lychee, slate, beeswax and more on the nose and palate, with a lithe yet slightly viscous mouthfeel, perfect fruit/acid/alc balance and even a little tannin to complicate matters (pleasantly). And, this one has more years of aging potential, IMO.

Thanks to @Josh Grovefor uncovering this treasure! — 9 years ago

2015 release, pink label, Treasure chest, profits for Brest cancer, One the most tropical IPA's I ever had, prickly pear, Hibiscus, grapefruit, very little malt backbone to balance the hops, but that is a good thing, low AVB, very smooth, refreshing and tasty, nice floral hops, mosaic hops, I really liked it, I love Hibiscus, those who do not, maybe will not like this beer as much as I do, Great Beer, Great cause — 10 years ago

Nice heads up Rishi!
Smooth and fruity. Med. tannins, but my jowls say bold. Bright berries and plums with a lasting finish. Bonus, my wife loves it.

With no perceptive barrier between the warmth of the atmosphere, the spice carried by the winds of Raja Ampat, Indonesia, and the sirens call bouquet of this wine--vitality and strength are resonant. The power of the nose and the follow through of palette lead none to believe that it had spent more than two decades in bottle. A treasure, floating in through the Archipelago... 1995 vintage — 9 years ago

A light ruby red with subtle aromas of red berry fruit combining slight earthy notes and floral scents. The 100% Pinot wine was aged for 17 months on French oak, (30% new) before bottling. The wine was medium in weight with vivid focus of berry fruit, raspberry, cherry and cranberry, nothing overpowering. The wine showed soft tannins surrounded by lively acidity and earthy minerals, giving the wine a remarkable balance. An elegant wine that is easy to drink, a real treasure, Top-notch! Only 814 cases made. — 10 years ago

No vintage Heitz dessert wine. Matthew treated us to this special surprise at Augustine. Had no idea this ever even existed. Such a treat! — 10 years ago

What a delicious Bas-Armagnac. Rich with vanilla and caramel notes all in abundance. But what makes this such a delightful spirit is its intensity, smoothness and the finish that lasts several minutes. Twenty five years aged, and some, this Bas-Armagnac was a little treasure that I picked up at a store that was, sadly, closing. I'm glad I did. — 8 years ago

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Absolutely terrific wine. Bound to uplift even the most doomy-gloomy mood. As such, it pairs well with political discourse and the prospect of "President Trump." Go ahead, drink those sorrows away. You deserve it.

Beautiful, shimmering golden color. I believe it's actually already deepening with age. (2012 vintage consumed in mid-2016)

On the nose, apricot fruit and unrefined honey dominate but is accompanied with a menagerie of rare and precious aromatics. The result is a feeling of having something truly exotic in your glass. This is a world-class wine for which there could never be any argument over its worthiness. You will be taken by this wine and there's really no way to over-hype it and set the expectation bar too high because this wine will meet it every time.

As we dig in deeper past the obvious top notes, we discover a treasure chest filled with persimmon, sandalwood, white flower, and vanilla bean.

Upon first entry in the mouth you are met with a zippy liveliness but then that melts gently across your palate to really give you a fine, pervasive coating that excites the taste buds in every corner of your mouth. This is a POWERHOUSE of assertive flavor. This wine will stage a veritable coup d'etat upon your complacent palate. There will be an ouster of your resident ennui. No incumbent sense of boredom will be safe from this wave of populist essence. There will be a complete and total transition of power in the halls of your mind's parliament leading to a peaceful but efficacious revolution. With your personal Congress in shambles, this fresh new confederacy shall draft a Constitution that will usher in a new era of utopian cooperation and transcendental civic euphoria!

Sorry, maybe for a little carried away there. For reals though. Drink this wine when you're feeling down and feel the BURN! Well, not really - because the alcohol is really well-integrated. ;) — 9 years ago
