Earth's Draw

Tessier Winery

Saralee's Vineyard Pinot Noir

Cedar, balsa wood, and nutmeg draw you in, but a burst of cranberries, strawberries, and lively acidity keep you sipping. This wine also offers a nice mineral, stony dimension and a cafe au lait finish. — 10 years ago

Mangan Vineyard East Block Petit Verdot Malbec 2012

Vibrant purple with a pretty pronounced nose which is, to me, very primary, young and attractive. A couple of registers to it: strawberry and raspberry, but seemingly on a different plane, blackberry bush and black plum. There's a leafy quality but not in an unripe way; it's a warm, ripe and inviting bouquet. Medium bodied and deep on the palate, a vertical spectrum of bright reds and briary black fruits, perhaps a touch of dusted chocolate and fennel but overall it's velvet cloaked, delicious fruit. It feels very youthful, but the time I spend with this the more I love the layers. The tannins are superfine dust, the acid working so well to draw the fruit to a long finish. Really quite quietly delicious, with a very tasty future. — 11 years ago

A sharp, tight wine. Aroma of young rose buds, cherries, hint of fresh cut herbs and vanilla. Some dark red fruit in the mid palate. Powerful tannins. Mild acidity. Long, somewhat bitter finish. This wine is shy and beautiful. The subtle flavors and aromas draw you in and leave you wanting more. — 10 years ago

Opened up over 2 hours to express amazing mineral texture. Beautiful weight and focused finish. Bright, youthful. Difficult not to draw comparisons to Corton-Charlemagne. — 12 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Light in the nose. Blackberry jam. Hint of vanilla.. Juicy. Cranberry acidity on the finish. Good balance. The draw to this wine is about the finish. Oaky for sure. — 10 years ago

Solid Wine. If "First Growth" I'd draw comparisons to Haut Brion...and then blended with a Cali Cult — 10 years ago
