Fausse Piste

Garde Manger Columbia Valley Syrah 2014

Direct hit to the heart. Beaujolais spirited syrah that offers a super fruit nose composed at first of blueberrie sirup then blackberry with a violet hint after a few swirls. Non filtered with a hint of a gas when opened, no bretts; this suggests coherent and traditional wine making (+ high drinkability when successful). Clearly among the best wines I've tasted from Oregon. — 10 years ago

Tablas Creek Vineyard

En Gobelet Red Rhone Blend 2011

Love this head-pruned goodness! Dark garnet in color it shows off red and black fruit with some nice meatiness from the Syrah. A plush, full bodied wine that nicely balances its fruit and savory flavors with rich tannins. — 11 years ago

Copain

Kiser "En Bas" Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Tasting at Copain. Beautiful winery with some sweeping views of Sonoma. Again no bottles so just the menu. The Laurel grades was an amazing wine, parcel of land by the ocean. It had that salt/mineral undertone and was crisp. Tidal wave was also very good and similar to a savignon blanc. The high rock Syrah was very good they let’s us try an 09 to give an idea of how it evolves. Solid wine. The 2014 was too tannic to get a good feel for the wine. — 8 years ago

En Rémont Fleurie Gamay 2009

2009, Julie Balagny, En Remont, Jean Barrat, Fleury, Gamay. No notes, but an excellent Cru Beaujolais. Red fruit, a little spice and a little earthy. Great story about Julie Balagny. Took her dog, got a vineyard, works it all by herself and makes great Cru Beaujolais. — 10 years ago

Château de Puligny-Montrachet

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Terriors Tasting Ripe nose with apple, pear, citrus fruit and a slightly lactic quality. A touch of sulphur detracts from the overall impression. Citrus peel and green apple fruit on palate. Decent acidity and minerality. — 9 years ago

Château Miraval

Côteaux Varois en Provence Rolle Grenache Blanc 2015

my ideal color for a rosé. peach, apricot, with a balance of minerality. Has the lightest touch of zest/spice which gives it light grip and a nice medium-long finish — 10 years ago

Château Maucaillou

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

THIS, surprisingly enough, is not dead. Definitely on the back slope but still legit. Forest floor, mushrooms, bbq chips?, nice acid. Not done yet. I dig. — 10 years ago

Copain

Kiser "En Haut" Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2010

Took a couple days for this wine to open up and to really start strutting its stuff. Vibrant, primary, dark cherry fruit tones meet pine forest, spice, and licorice nuances. With the extended aeration, an intriguing mineral note also developed. Svelte (12.8%), yet vivacious and intimating appealing future complexities. Would be fun try again in 8+ years. — 12 years ago
