Sine Qua Non

And An Eight Track California Rosé 2013

Certainly different than The Pontiff. This was lighter and more classically Rosé whereas in a blinder glass I’m not sure I would identify The Pontiff as a Rosé at all. For my taste, this was enjoyable, but not mind-blowing (which is usually the case for me with wines from SQN). — 5 years ago

St. Marys Vineyard

Bells & Whistles Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

Color of vivid ruby, clear with a bit bloody grapefruit note. Nose is nice with dark fruits, oak, a bit spice and strawberry, a bit crayon, and full of nose. Taste is subtle sweetness, very easy to drink, paint, dried strawberries, zesty note, ripe grapes, a bit mineral, and flavors are plenty in harmony. Aftertaste is also long with oak and some more sweetness, some more tobacco leaves, and some subtle acidity, low tannins and very tasty. Nice jewel. — 6 years ago

Bevan Cellars

Ontogeny Oakville Red Wine 2014

You haven’t really lived until you’ve tasted Russell Bevan’s wine. His 2014 Ontogeny had me exclaiming “OH.... Daaaaayuuuum....” after my first sniff, and then again after each of the subsequent eight or ten sips with various and usually increasing changes in inflection. Blackberry compote drenched in crème de cassis accented with smoked brisket and white flowers. Tertiary notes of lavender, leather, a faint tinge of brett, and a little magic marker provide an exotic backdrop for a wine that exudes its own Napa style. — 7 years ago

I agree. I think the 14 will benefit from laying down a few years.

Correlation Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark cherries and black currant. Deep purple color. Really gets better after being open for an hour. Moderate+ tannins. Had another glass 24 hours after opening and I think it was even better. — 9 years ago

Wathen's Kentucky Bourbon

Eight Generations Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

An amazing value. Spiced fruit, clove, honey, vanilla, amazing oak notes - just an outstanding bourbon. It’s light enough that it would make an outstanding summer whisky, but drinking it neat with no water is serving me just right on this cold November night. — 5 years ago

Diemersdal Estate

Eight Rows Sauvignon Blanc 2016

16/20 (89/100) Свежий и насыщенный аромат с нотами крыжовника, зеленого перца, горохового стручка и лайма. Свежее во вкусе несмотря на умеренную кислотность. Хорошая тельность благодаря выдержке на осадке. Пикантная горчинка во вкусе. Один из лучших южноафриканских совиньон бланов на российском рынке сегодня. — 6 years ago

Eight Arms

The Argonaut Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Revisiting. It actually did well with a smidge of age. Less saline more really ripe kumquat. I want this wine to be my best friend. Like we are both gonna change and mature but will always provide quality us-time to each other. Dang I’m worried Eight Cellars isn’t making wine anymore? Because I was able to buy 2014 Sauvignon Blanc in 2018... — 7 years ago

St Innocent Winery

Villages Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

St. Innocent Winery was founded in May 1988 by Mark Vlossak, with eight investors. Ten tons of grapes were crushed the first fall, producing about 575 cases of wine. Deep red with berry fruit aromas, spice and floral notes. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors, juicy with herb pepper notes. Fine tannins, nicely balanced with acidity on a lingering finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral. Nice value. — 8 years ago

Eight Tiny Reindeer Winery

Comet & Cupid California Cabernet Sauvignon

The fall months are extremely frantic at the North Pole. Not only is Santa getting ready for Christmas but it's also the time he harvests and makes his wine for next Christmas. This year he is especially excited because the grapes came from vineyards that Comet and Cupid particularly seemed to enjoy. All summer long The Eight Tiny Reindeer watch and wait for the grapes to grow to their optimum maturity. Santa knows that when his reindeer are smiling it's time to pick the grapes. It seems that happy reindeer make really good wine! — 8 years ago
