Good recommendation from Kate the owner at Piccolo in Sharonville (Cincy suburb restaurant and wine shop with free corkage fee on Wednesday) — 5 years ago
Not too hoppy and not too much malt. Very nice! — 6 years ago
Popped it with a burger at lunch. Before wine opening up had nose of red fruits and slight smell of green pepper. Bright and tasty. Came back to it 5 hours later for a steak dinner. Became a little more black fruit with slight graphite and dust. Got better with a little air. — 7 years ago
Sharing a birthday dinner with family. Ringo Starr said he couldn’t make it. PNP and wasn’t that tight. Could have used some air but the nose and palate were just great. — 4 years ago

What an incredible second day here in Napa. Jesus started us off with an amazing tasting at Davies/Schramsberg, Crocker & Starr gave us our cab franc fix, Montagu & Addax put on a double tasting, and Hourglass knocked it out of the park at the end of the day! I won’t post each wine we tasted, but I’ll highlight the best from each spot.
@jesus g was a killer host. He opened up some older sparklers to compare against new releases as well as poured some very impressive JDavies reds, including the Diamond Mtn Cab. This JSchram Reserve ‘08 though was on a different level. Honeyed almond, apricot, lemon curd. Texture and acidity were seductive at 10yrs old. Happy to have one tucked away for the foreseeable future. Legit, @jesus g ! — 6 years ago

The notes draw you in before it hits your lips and tongue. This has fantastic fruits, blackberry, cherry, tannins, smoke and a finish that is strong. You are going to love it! — 4 years ago

The 2011 is drinking funky right now. Funky in a good way. Color is a dark purple but the flavor is red fruits. Lots of fun acidity, not a lot of tannins. — 6 years ago

Just got better and better with more oxygen! Decanted and should have let sit longer as the aromatics really intensified showing licorice and leather on the nose. — 4 years ago
