Forlorn Hope

San Hercurmer delle Frecce Shake Ridge Vineyard Barbera 2018

Tart black cherry, anise, pine and alpine vibes, high acidity, low spicy tannins.
A beautiful Cali Barbera with the acidity and spice of Piemonte, with the high toned fruit of California sunshine. I love!

Gran Seleccion Cordon Negro Brut Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

Nice straw yellow color. Small, delicate bubbles. Smells very fruity with tart apple and pear on the nose. Yum! More mellow than crisp, and had a nice lingering finish. Love. — 5 years ago

Rocky Top Zinfandel 2016

Fairly fruity on the nose. Hint of black pepper and something earthy/mineral. Flavor is very dry. Dried strawberries and red vines. Classic jammy Zin thing. Some pomegranate molasses perhaps. Fresh and zinfulliciuos. Plenty of tannin to give it more bite than Zin usually achieves. Complex. True. Enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Gran Reserva III Lustros Brut Nature Cava Xarello Macabeo 2015

The Grand Cru of Cava? Corpinnat (Heart of Penedes) is a special designation by a group of estates (currently 11) who broke tie with the Cava D.O. This one was disgorged in 12/2023.
Aromatic nose of green apple, peach, chalk, light brioche, and hint of white floral. Vibrant, round, and precise. Very impressive, particularly when considering this is a brut nature.
