With the Sacramento heat it worked but is no Suntory. That said in the chilled glass, the big bottle went quick. — 7 years ago

A curiosity from the Silvaspoons vineyard in Alta Mesa AVA (Sacramento County) from the mysterious Portuguese Alvarelhao grape, made by Matthew Rorick.Transparent ruby, purplish at the rim. Very aromatic, violet-like nose, reminescent of Brachetto. Amazingly elegant in the mouth, medium-bodied, with red currant, velvety tannin and fresh acidity. Long finish with retronasal violets. Impressive. 2014 vintage, abv 13,12 %, 27 euro. — 8 years ago

Lioco does it again, light enough for pairing with simple at 12%, but so nice with burger and steak. Why don't we have this on local Sacramento lists? — 9 years ago

Chris Lequin at Echo and Rig Sacramento. It’s a more complex Pinot. Priced a bit higher than the taste. — 5 years ago

Still a rather intriguing bottle of wine. This wine has got a rather interesting nose of mint, raspberry, herb. The entry is dirty raspberry, mulberry, green olive. Gets softer in the middle. Raspberry, fig, mushroom in the middle. The finish is where this one gets a little raucous. Green grape stem, hint of green bell pepper, oregano, and lots of brambly black cherry, acidic finish that was more apparent in the first hour, but settled down in the second hour. Bottle was gone very quickly. My inventory of this wine was +2'ed on the latest trip to Napa, and is available at the Sacramento International Airport Vino Volo as we speak. — 7 years ago

From my favorite Washington winery, Long Shadows Vintners. Fresh citrus fruit with a rich core. Almost feels like a Viognier but with healthy acidity. Delicious on a windy cool evening on a hotel boat in Sacramento :) — 7 years ago

Bold apricot and grapefruit flavors that are long-lasting and transition into a very smooth, buttery finish. Wonderful wine! — 7 years ago

At Mulveney's, Sacramento, with Bill Dritsas , 1/11/17. With pork chop and ding dong for dessert. Also has foie gras with late harvest sémillon and sauvignon blanc. The Rhys punit was served too cold. It was "dumb" at first but gradually opened up as it warmed. Nice fruit, subdued nose. Cherries, licorice, and leather tones. — 7 years ago

Nutty, nice hops, not so bitter that it runs over the malt. A good beer on a hot day. — 9 years ago

Nose of; ripe blueberries, dry dark cherries, spiced black raspberries, dry cranberries, black cherry licorice, raspberries, faint sweet spice, violets, dark florals and semi-sweet, moist, turned black earth. On the palate, this is fresh, lean to medium bodied, very light tannin structure (almost none), ripe, juicy and extremely easy to drink young. The flavors are; bright, ripe, fresh, juicy fruits of; boysenberries, blueberries, plum, black, blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries, there's some poached strawberries on the longer palate set. The complexity of earth, minerality etc. is amazingly understated. As you continue to sip it, there is a light salted caramel quality, a whisper of vanilla, a haunting of beautiful soft spice, violets, fresh red flowers and the acidity is like a rain forest on the palate. The is finish is very polished, round, ripe, juicy, with elegant round fruits and soft bright florals. This is so easy to sip, it's beyond ridiculous. It's Grenache Burgundy style! Photos of their estate, vines and Winemaker/Owner Charles Smith. Charles grew up outside of Sacramento, California. Once there, he began to travel and settled in Denmark. While in Scandinavia, Charles managed rock bands throughout Europe for nine years. Traveling throughout Europe, he took in a great appreciation for food & wine; which ultimately created his interest in wine. In 1999, he moved back to the Pacific Northwest where he opened a wine shop on Bainbridge Island. But, later in 1999, traveled to Walla Walla and met a French winemaker. Through this friendship, he discovered a passion for Syrah and eventually moved to Walla Walla to make his own wine. Then In 2001, he released his first vintage, the 1999 K Syrah. The rest as they say is history. Interesting career path to say the least! This bottle at just under $38 at Costco is like stealing candy from a... — 7 years ago
