Black cherry and plum fruit with bay leaf accents. I love the mouthfeel on this wine but I’m not crazy about the oaky vanilla that dominates the finish. May need to sit for awhile. — 6 years ago
January Wednesday Wine Committees are always a great as the red wines are required to be 11yrs old, making all of the reds 2008 vintage. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine were served today, all blind.
I called this WA state Syrah. It was between that and northern Rhône...the fruit here was more prevalent and while the aromatics matched with both options, the funky, iron, stewed meat notes didn’t translate to the palate. Smoky and dark fruited. Drinking a little thin. I’d drink up if you have them. — 8 years ago

Birth year vintages are a roll of the dice but luckily I landed on a pretty solid classic - 1978. So for my birthday this year, we opened an LLC and wow was this perfect. The sommelier was surgical in removing the cork which split in half but he managed to extract it. The nose on this wine was a 10 - loads of cassis, licorice, dusty library and leather. Palate was extracted cassis, leather and great acidity and liveliness, just like my 44 year old self. It’s just pure magic when bottles this old perform - happy Friday everyone. — 4 years ago

Pure sweet and tart cherry fruit and that dusty bloody earth. Pretty, classic Chianti from organic fruit. Another great $20 bottle from @Vineyard Gate Selections, LLC — 7 years ago
Tasted blind. Similar descriptors for this wine sitting next to the 82 LLC. Bright fruit. Earthy. Wow factor with puckering acidity going up against a strong core of fruit. Also very young in its journey. Needs a few more decades to acquire some complexity and secondary/tertiary characteristics. Also 94+ — 8 years ago
Loving this Spanish dessert wine - smells of raisins and dried fruit - very much like a sherry but far less expensive. Will be gifting this for sure. — 9 years ago
Affordable. Light and airy. Cork with wax added a bit of style. Gave one bottle away after confirming it was as good as could be expected in this price range. — 10 years ago
