Served blind to a few of us by @Weston Eidson . My initial, and final call, of this was ‘14-‘15 Napa Cab. Honestly, hard to put it anywhere else. A more ripe and rich version with an overwhelming amount of baking spices, bruised dark fruits and fig on the nose. Low acidity and an overall “soft” profile...tannic, but not overly so. Nutmeg, cocoa shavings, baked mixed berry pie and just a hint of dust/chalkiness to it. Super approachable now. Julien Fayard makes wonderful wines and I think this, along with his Matthew Wallace wines, are the most enjoyable young. — 6 years ago

Served blind as well, this one was in the Napa cab wheelhouse from start to finish. My guess was around 2012-13 St Helena Cab, as it already seems to be gaining quite a bit of complexity. Nose of sweet blackberry and spice. Entry is full-bodied blackberry, graphite, middle starting to gain some pepper. Still fairly tannic finish but softer than I imagined. Nice wine @Weston Eidson

Dits del Terra Priorat Carignane 2012

This an extremely interesting wine. I was surprised not to get the usual overwhelming wine from Spain. This is a classic Mountain wine, supple and sumptuous, interesting flavors. For my taste I would prefer a bit more acidity, however. — 8 years ago

Hacienda Terra d'Uro

Selección Toro Tinto de Toro 2009

Needs to breathe. After an hour aromas are much more pleasant. Smooth soft vanilla and a dark fruit I am unable to identify. Plum? Not too sweet. Not too tart. Not smoky. I think its a nicely complex for the price. Would recommend and buy again — 9 years ago

2015 in 3/20. Glorious!!!! Soooooo wish I bought more of this. Skin contact Zibibbo from AUSTRALIA!!! 13%. 70 yr old Bush vines. 150 days in clay. Stone fruit, cooked citrus marmalade, ginger-esque something. So aromatic, delicious and fun!! Need more stuff like this around the Orl area. This was from the Winebarn tstg in WP and from Mary Elizabeth table. — 5 years ago

Coca i Fitó

Jaspi d'Or Terra Alta Garnatxa Blanca Macabeo Vinyes Velles 2014

Color : White
Wine estate : Coca I Fitó
Designation : Terra Alta
Name : Jaspi d'Or
Country : Spain
Vivino : 4/5
Note : With 80% of Grenache Blanc, it's almost like a white Châteauneuf. A golden robe, a peachy nose. Once in the mouth, the floral side is revealed with candied citrus notes. Beautiful minerality and expression.

Was absolutely delicious, until I tasted the Shotfire Shiraz 2012 also from Thorn-Clarke, which bested it. — 9 years ago

Par Binner

Les Vins Pirouettes Pinot Noir

Glouglou indeed! Fresh strawberries and just the right amount of brett.

Updating because of a coincidence too fortuitous not to document/share: I just learned that my current boss/winemaker for Goldeneye was herself a harvest intern at Domaine Binner back in ‘14 and has lots of great anecdotes...

Drinking fantastic! Even a touch better than the ‘12 I had a few months ago. Smoked meat and charcoal with underripe blackberry on the nose. Definitely an herbal/stemmy note on the mid palate with some cedar too. Big without being dense. Thanks @Dan Fitzgerald — 6 years ago

Terra Valentine

Estate Grown Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Happy to find this wine when I did. Showing tons of “other than fruit” characteristics on the nose, this wine smells older than it is. Little bit of bret, but the good kind! Dark black fruit and olive tapenade waft out of the glass while blackberry seed, tobacco and black cherry leaf the way on the palate. The body is full in the middle but lean on the edges because of the bright acidity which lifts the wine throughout. Drink now through 7-13 years! — 7 years ago

Terra de Cuques Priorat Pedro Ximénez Muscat 2012

My pic didn't turn out as well as @Nick Davis . Check out his. This is a cidery, wild, singular take on PX & Muscat that I wouldn't have thought possible if I hadn't drunk it. — 9 years ago
