Surprising, reminiscent of a light port or sherry with strong raisin overtones, but slightly less sweet. Almost unsure how to rate it given its unique flavor. — 10 years ago
Bam. Delicious IPA. I'll be looking for this one when I get to London. — 10 years ago
Now... This is what I'm talking about...
Deep, dark ruby in color with a purple rim.
Full bodied , Jammy and bold.
Gorgeous nose with blackberries, figs, plums, raisins, oak, vanilla, peppercorn, sweet candy, cloves, and herbs.
Big tannins right on the attack with dark berries, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry jam and spices.
Long finish with big angular tannins.
Great Israeli cabernet from a beautiful valley in Israel.
14.5% alcohol by volume with long legs.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Sirah and 5% Merlot.
Took two hours to open up, but then ... Amazing. — 10 years ago

Excellent kosher red wine! Full bodied, but not too spicy or harsh in the body. Well received by all those who tried it. — 10 years ago
This lovely Israeli Syrah from 2006 is just at its peak !!!
It has a deep purple color, a lovely nose of violet, blueberries, vanilla, black current and a touch of elegance, full body, with well balanced and smooth tannins, perfect acidity, a long long balanced yet chewy finish. The wine is truly balanced and at it peak. My score 90, drink to 2016, perhaps longer. — 10 years ago
Perfect wine for baking a cake. According to Natalie's book on french parenting, we're supposed to be feeding Ella yogurt cake — 11 years ago
Lovely 12 Barbera! Eating and drinking with friends Kyle Glennon and Ella Dorsey. Grilled salmon, asparagus and tossed spring salad. Excellent meal!!! — 10 years ago
Breakside Brewing/Fremont Brewing Back to the Future IPA. The similarly named beer put out by Fremont in May during Seattle Beer Week had Jarrylo & Equinox hops. This version released by Breakside for Portland Beer Week has Azacca & Ella hops. New, experimental hop varietals in each. Both really good and distinct hop notes, although prefer the Fremont release as less sweet. — 10 years ago
