Kale Broken Axle Napa Valley Syrah Grenache 2012

9.6

Last red from Kale Anderson's personal wine project, Kale Wines. Darker ruby red than the Home Run Cuvée with some purplish hues. This bottle was tasted over four days and it was needed. Day one (92): Nose was tight with slight heat and back end of berries (both red and dark, more dark thou) with some dark plums. You could easily see this is a super extracted wine. Plush with dark dark fruits, creme de cassis, and some light baking spices. No heat on the palate. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied with a super long finish. Day two (93+): Still a little bit of heat on the nose. Still crazy powerful on the palate, huge punch of baking spices, caramel and vanilla. Still needs time to fully integrate. Day three and four (96): Heat has dissipated on the nose but still loaded with the dark fruits and spices. The palates complexity definitely started to show, slight spiciness, and lots of dark cocoa espresso beans. So delicious, voluptuous and stunning. We could sit and drink this wine all day. Stunning value and we might have to try and grab some. Drink till 2030. — 9 years ago

I think the timing was just off. Too soon. Needs to breathe, or more time. Signature Lewis nose, which tempts and is impeccable. But the taste left so much more to be desired. I still love you thou. One day the stars will be aligned #lewis — 9 years ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay

The nose is big and juicy, with red fruit and minerals. There is a pretty good level of acidity, and the Gamay palate hits nicely, with that light, grapey sensation that make the wine so great with a holiday turkey. It also does very well as the jug of wine to go with “a loaf of bread” and “thou.” — 9 years ago

'a Vita

Rosso Classico Superiore Cirò Gaglioppo

Old Calabria is number one on my personal travel books top list, wrote by that British genius who was Norman Douglas. Now this is the optimum wine to pair with such a reading: rarity, daring, intensity... only to mention few of the features we'got stated in here. Name of the wine's: 'A Vita - La Vite, The Vine in Calabrian dialect in harmony with The Life/La Vita as well - it focuses from the start the insane complexity and discloses the fleeing of the whole subject in itself! Salute e lunga Vita, thou good Old Cirò! — 10 years ago

As I put my sweet baby girl to bed after a looong day, snuggling with her in her new "big girl bed", I found a stray eyelash on her cheek. Maybe I'm alone in this, but for as long as I can remember I have been superstitiously transferring these from one finger to another...and if I blow the lash off while making a wish, "they" say it will come true. I tried wishing this was a 2007 Screaming Eagle - or that I could magically be beamed onto David Lentine's Napa trip for the night (ha!). Alas, no such luck. Seriously thou, with my kids' lashes, I have always wished the same thing: "may you have a wonderful life." But I made this addition: "may you always have the courage to be yourself." #inthistogether #overturnHB2 #onlylove — 9 years ago

Rodney Strong Vineyards

Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Need patience until it gets open. Right out of the bottle, no flavor no complexity - just bad... But once it opens up, bold and flavorful. This wine comes from grapes at higher altitude so darker due to more UV. Oakier than Alexander Valley Cabs. Not as pallet friendly thou. I love it but those who aren't into cabs probably won't. — 9 years ago

Merlot gets a bad rap. Everyone always quotes Paul Giamatti's Sideways line: "I'm not drinking any f#*%ing merlot!"... could one sentence bear so much weight?! Apparently the bias was formed when producers sacrificed quality for quantity when the varietal became popular. Even thou it's more of a blending grape, I am a big fan of a good Merlot. And at our wine dinner Thur, I liked Darioush's Merlot just as much as the Cab (and it was half the price). Lots of fruit and softer in a way. (Softer is undervalued these days) — 9 years ago
