Penfolds

Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2001

Australia makes a specialty of blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz and one of the better examples is Penfolds Bin 389. This is an excellent mature wine, doing it easily at 15 years of age, and will go on. Notes of black currant and mint but at this age all the descriptors just melding into "damn good claret". Perfect with roast lamb. 60% Cab Sauv, 40% Shiraz. 2001 vintage. — 9 years ago

The Big Easy Santa Barbara County Syrah Blend

The wine is easy drinking as the name suggest but it's a great wine with complexity it has a great dark fruits tannins in the mid palate very subdued the alcohol level is great nice flavor of mocha chocolate in the end again the blending is done in such a way that wine shows all the character of the grapes — 10 years ago

Favia

Cerro Sur Napa Valley Red Blend 2009

09' Favia Cerro Sur Red. 60% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The CF is done in all new oak.

Raspberry & floral notes on the nose. The front of my palate I'm getting an earthiness to it, with hints of coffee. Towards the front, more to the middle & back of my palate ...Raspberries, blackberries, black licorice, spices & oak. It's such an expressive wine, but not over top! 09 is drinking great now. What's even scarier is that the 2010 is slightly better. I'm sooooo looking forward to trying the 12/13's🙂. What he does with blending CF 😘.

I'm a very big fan of Andy Ericksons and his collection of wines. Is it just me… has his collection of wines gotten considerably better over the years?!? Can't imagine not receiving these gems several times a year. Hoping he's coming out with a Chardonnay in the upcoming years. (It might just be rumors) I'll cross my fingers anyway.

Capay Valley Estate Red Blend 2013

Tried my first wine from a mystery pack that I ordered from Last Bottle and it was great. Awesome bottle especially for $20. The Syrah/Mourvèdre gave it a richness and jammy characteristic. Great mouthfeel. @TheSkip have you had this one yet? — 9 years ago

@Rafael Landestoy I actually did not get that in mine. I had bought their Open Range a while back and Casey flat ranch is their all time biggest seller. When this vintage came up, I bought 8 and was quite pleased with it. Apparently LastBottle purchased the entire production! Total crowd pleaser. I'll tag you on my notes.

Glad you enjoyed it! Sad to say this is all gone now. CFR is dead.

Nickel & Nickel

Ponzo Vineyard Zinfandel 2007

Drank this after an '03 Edizione Pennino was corked upon opening. Maybe the smell and the quick sip I took from it ruined my palate for the night. Casey and Dad enjoyed it immensely but I thought it seemed like it was winding down and was not particularly impressed. I tasted unpleasant bitterness in this wine, although that mellowed after 2-3 hours. I dunno take this one for what it's worth. My first impression was probably more accurate. — 12 years ago
