Thick as Thieves

Purple Prose King Valley Gamay 2017

Lovely. Quite rounded, and frighteningly drinkable. — 7 years ago

Azienda Agricola Fontodi

Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2001

Can’t compete with the prose that@Bill Bender and @Michael Meyer have already laid out in their notes, but will agree that this was tremendous. Purchased on release and in perfect shape - great fill and not even a drop of wine on the side of the cork. Very classy despite being decanted for an hour in a cheap carafe in a cooler in the back of a Honda Fit on a 90 degree day. 🍷 — 8 years ago

I think it was certainly WOTN but the Corra was pretty fantastic and I rated it high because I was so surprised and taken by it

Please forgive me, but my grammar and prose have evaporated. I'm lost for words.

Illahe

Project 1899 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Illahe's winemaker Brad Ford is a former English and poetry teacher—tasting his wines it's impossible to ignore the prose in them. Pinot Noir used in the 1899 is delivered to the winery by a team of horses, and it's racked by way of a bicycle pump, in short it's a wine made entirely without electricity. Every aspect of it requires hand labor. In the glass a novella of underbrush and brambly fruit, decaying rose petals and crushed stone. Subtle minerality ripples through a red-fruited core, and lingers at the close. — 8 years ago

I really love this Barolo. Atypical savory smoky notes. Elegant, like the best Gadda prose. Super delish. — 9 years ago

Martha Stoumen

Venturi Vineyard Carignan 2015

No lucid comments or Shakespearian prose needed.
Ain't no one else in California making Carignan this good. Oops, this well.
A crowd pleaser, a great drinker, tell your friends. Subsequent vintages will only get better as Martha watches over these vineyards during the off season.

Ovum Wines

Big Salt Elkton White Blend 2016

This a fantastic juice. Pale straw. Muscat on the nose. Flowers. Fantastic acidity zinging through the structure like a current through a circuit. Enough purple prose, this is a beguiling (and pleasing) blend of riesling and gewürztraminer co-fermented in tank, blended with roughly 10% early muscat from neutral barrel. Single vineyard (Elkton, planted in 1983). Alpine in character. You'd never guess southern Oregon. — 8 years ago
