Domaine Georges Roumier

Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2001

Brought by CR. Words escape me. Still a baby but the texture of this wine was like the finest cashmere sweater you've ever touched wrapped around your tongue. Supple, precise, elegance, finesse and a backbone that promises great things in due time. Ethereal nose. Thank you Christophe! — 8 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! — 9 years ago

Paringa

David & Dena Hickinbotham Shiraz

An everything-but-the-kitchen-sink amalgam primarily composed of vanilla, rhubarb, new carpet, and eucalyptus. Highly individualistic, moderately disjointed, and somewhat daring for a Shiraz. Like parachuting over Sydney in a business suit with socks the color of the American flag. Vino di Vino. — 8 years ago

ENSO Winery

Chateauneuf du Stark Syrah Blend

Enso, made in PDX, has released their "Chateauneuf du Stark" based on the quartet of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise (each at 25%) from Columbia Valley. Fragrant, phat, flirting with smoke & slate but so juicy...call me muy loco but it reminds me of papaya crossed with tobacco. Whatever, this li'l Stark ode to Chateauneuf isn't too big for its britches, it's daring & delightful! — 8 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Solomon Hills Vineyard Chardonnay 2008

Yum. Bought this bottle on 'Evacu-cation' during our escape from Calistoga wildfires to sunny Ojai. One of a few library wines scored from the Ojai Vineyard tasting room. Great example of California Chardonnay at its best. Shows restraint and reserve with invigorating acidity. Tasting great at this age. — 7 years ago

Domaine de Marcoux

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2009

2009 was a ripe vintage for CdP, for sure. Sophie and Catherine couldn't escape the candied cherry yet still manage to convey their sense of place. Bright fruit, fine tannins, dusty sandalwood and vibrant acidity always tell me "this is Marcoux." A pleasure to have this with my wife's pot roast on a cool fall night. — 9 years ago

Clos René

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

A deep/dark ruby color in glass, a cornucopia of red//dark aromas escape easily from the glass...while it appears a bit of flamboyant initially after the first splash...stiff tannins remind you of its youthfulness and for those willing to wait another 7-10 years you'll be nicely rewarded! The finish was bit shorter than I would have liked, but still a solid enough performer overall to squirrel away for the future. — 10 years ago
