Wind Storm

Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2015

This is a great version of a California Zin. Nice notes of spice and pairs so well with a red meat meal. Found this on sale and will go get more while I can. Love the label and the cork. I am under a thunderstorm warning and this is so nice to watch the clouds rolling. Get some. — 3 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2009

Light body and easy to drink. It had a touch of that wooly meaty character that I enjoy in a Syrah. — 5 months ago

Luna Matta Nebbiolo 2008

Well, glad I kept this for another 6 years to see how it evolved. Cork was in amazing shape. Brick red. Almost tawny in glass. Dried flowers and herbs on the nose. Not a lot of fruit on the nose. Palate is more dried flowers, roses, leather, the faintest touch of pouch tobacco, plums, dried fig, maybe persimmon. It dries the mouth with tannin and acidity. Definitely secondary flavors starting. Probably the best wine deal I’ve ever had for this type of quality. Wish I had one more to try in 2028. — 8 months ago

Sonoma County Old Vine Grenache 2012

About as good as grenache gets. Bright sour cherries followed by anise and black tea. Savory and balanced. — 4 years ago
