Cherry Pie Wines

Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir 2012

9.2

Finally trying Cherry Pie (from Hundred Acre). 3 different single vineyard Pinots from 2012. Stanly Ranch is dynamite (and a vineyard to keep an eye on). Reminiscent of Kosta Browne. Next up is Rodgers Creek. Darker fruit. Less explosive, but a nice wine. Third up is Carinalli. Way lighter, though some spice to it. It's fine, but doesn't hold a candle to the other two. (Thanks Mastro's in Scottsdale for hosting me!) — 9 years ago

Château Moulin Haut-Laroque

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

After opening, it reminds me of a northern Rhone syrah: translucent ruby red, not a Bordeaux nose, lighter, higher acidity and all. Now after 2 hours, it's become darker to the eye, nose, and palate. Opaque, almost pitch black. Milk chocolate and smoke on the nose. Some sweetness and less acidity on the palate. Some grippy tannin left. Plummy finnish. A good deal for €18 in 2015. 50+3+12+17+8=90 — 10 years ago

I think the bottle shot may have gotten mixed up, but the '90 was totally intact. I liked it very much!

Hawkes

PYR Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Depth and character that is expressing subtleties of leather and salt and perfect for a cabin hideaway with grilled dry aged rib eye. — 11 years ago

Cannonball Wines

California Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Great with a steak! The flavour profile unravels with a bit of time to decant and the tannins soften with the fatty rib eye revealing dark fruit/cherries and a nice touch of oak — 9 years ago

Domaine des Sablonnettes (Christine & Joel Ménard)

Les Copains D'Abord Anjou Grolleau 2012

Burgundy-like bubblegum notes on the nose. Light and zippy, reminding first and foremost of slightly carbonated cranberry juice, but with the acidic complexity of a great lambic, tinged with hay, ginger, forest floor, light warm spice and wild raspberries. Extraordinarily floral, offering up a strong bouquet of cut tulips, violets, and lilies. Delicious and eye-openingly singular. — 10 years ago

Marqués de Cáceres

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1994

A wine that's often drunk very young - waiting 10 years rewards the patient. A thin film of water at the rim and a hint of candied cherry ahead of a dark core; oven grilled sweet bell-peppers, pepper, figs , sweaty leather, vanilla fudge; well integrated tannins but still a bit of a bite, like an old cheetah sleeping with one eye closed. — 10 years ago

North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Great cab. Subtle notes with a smooth oaky taste with a hint of what appeared to be cherry and smooth aftertaste that disappears in the blink of an eye. Excellent. — 10 years ago

Bollinger

R.D. Extra Brut Champagne Blend 1990

As best stated in the Maltese Falcon, "the stuff that dreams are made of!" The late discorged nature of the wine yields a velvety and delightfully yeasty overtone on a fantastic carmelized base. Incredible. — 11 years ago

Fish Eye

South Eastern Australia Merlot 2011

Curious Beasts Wines

Blood California Red Blend 2014

One of the best red wines I've had in a while! It caught my eye because of the label/packaging and I ended up picking it up to accompany a prime rib dinner because of the description on the back recommended that pairing specifically and it was perfect! The other guests raved about it as well. Very affordable. — 9 years ago

Bouchard Père et Fils

Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus Grèves Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2008

Big baby Jesus! ODB. Love it. Classic undertones of Beaune funk, earth forest floor and moss. Decanted for 45m and amazingly open and giving. Impressed at readiness here. Acid is awesome and carries through and makes this wine go great with bigger richer food. Rib-eye and acid cut it great. — 10 years ago
