Syrah 2011

Mark Salinas
9.1

This full bodied and spicy Syrah was a hit yesterday on our stop to a couple of Temecula Wineries. I normally am not drawn to many of the reds at Longshadow Ranch Winery, but yesterday was an exception. So much so that we ended up buying and drinking 3 bottles! — 11 years ago

Shadow Mountain Vineyards

Syrah 2008

This is easily one of my favorite boutique wineries. High altitude vineyards producing deeply tasty and still balanced wines with an extremely long finish. The nose is strong with nutmeg, sandalwood, black fruit, talc, white pepper, and wet red earth. Palate is rich with medium + acidity, slightly rustic tannins and plenty of fruit notes. Finish brings out a vanilla and dill note over an egg albumin (raw egg white) texture. Excellent wine. — 11 years ago

It's interesting to see how some wineries have to market themselves. These guys are maybe trying a little too hard (the wine comes with mustache wax if you order it online). Putting the gimmicks aside, we have a very solid, crowd pleasing wine here. Creamy and rich with vanilla and a slight toasty-ness. Lots of cooked down raspberries and fruit. A bit over extracted but balanced. Anyone paying for prisoner or a fan of the California style should give this a ride. — 11 years ago

Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Drank this wine from one of my favorite little boutique wineries. I normally avoid sauv blanc since the whole cat per acidity thing turns me off. This wine has fantastic tropical fruit with guava and pineapple notes. Really nice wine. — 12 years ago

Avenel Cellars

Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Another spectacular Cabernet from my favorite wineries in Napa. Had the 2012 vintage with some young Gouda an it really sets it off. Stil, it's a bit young in my mind and would be fantastic in a few years. Definitely standouts in my mind as one of the best cabs I've had in a while. Wonderful fullness with soft and integrated tannins. And layers of black cherry, blueberries and coca dance around your tongue as it is sipped. Gonna have it with some awesome authentic german goulash. A perfect finish to a nice day in the South Bay. — 11 years ago

Silver Mountain Vineyards

Central Coast Syrah 2008

We love Silver Mts wines. Yet another Bay Area. Best kept secret. No need to go to Napa, the Santa Cruz Mts wineries are amazing! An added bonus about Silver Mt is their sustainability practices. — 13 years ago
