Shell Creek Vineyards Old Vine Petite Sirah 2013

Great with food, or by itself. Very smooth — 8 years ago

Domaine Le Colombier

Vieilles Vignes Vacqueyras Grenache Mourvédre Blend 2012

Goats tromping around a tree nut farm. A funky nose..

Blueberry branch, cherry pit, initial flavors evolve into Spanish olive oil, Greek oregano, roasted plum, that blends well with the woody electric kool aid acid test.

Could evolve for another 5 easy..

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Sweeter than a typical Pinot with a smooth finish. Would be a good transitional red for a white wine drinker looking to branch out. — 10 years ago

Silvano Follador

Superiore di Cartizze Nature Valdobbiadene Brut Prosecco 2010

It is a Prosecco Superiore Brut who does ageing on the yeasts at the end of secondary fermentation in the bottle (Metodo Classico). My dear friend Silvano Follador firmly believes to the hig potential of secondary fermentation with disgorging instead of Charmat or "sur lie" (col fondo) method which may be sometimes too sweet or even not stable because the presence of the work-in-progress yeast. Acidity, cleanness and savoury sensations that's what Silvano's steadily looking for in his Prosecco and I must admit these are all features that I found for instance, in this Dosaggio Zero (pas dosè) 2010 vintage, who left right on my mouth a genuine feeling of citrus and loquats freshly picked from the branch and squeezed directly into the glass. — 10 years ago

@Billy L. I could be wrong but Schrader does not make 100% dr Crane - Beckstoffer yes but not sure but not a dr Crane - again I could be wrong cause if so I would have brought that as I love Schrader as I bet you do as well

Texas Tannat 2010

2010 vintage that is drinking really well. Dark fruit, leather, pepper with the robust tannic finish you expect from Tannat. Proof this varietal is a hit in Texas and that you shouldn't be afraid to try a lone star state bottle — 10 years ago

Bodegas Atalaya

La Atalaya Almansa Grenache Monastrell 2008

Had this over a couple days with both being similar. The nose was olive branch and musty old trunk followed by a big berry. Earthy taste with notes of tobacco and surprisingly jammy. A little grit at the end but not more than tolerable. A bottle worth taking your time with. — 10 years ago

Scott Paul Cellars

La Paulée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Warm cinnamon like bark of a nose, spicy and welcoming.
Tar little berries, smooth scone like yeastiness, and zippity kumquat acidity.
Low tannins, hints of those twigs and branch berries, the occasional fresh St.Johns bay leaf.
A perfect Pi in a bottle on 3.14.

My Arrow and Branch cherry was broken last week with a very nice one. I think my impression was that those wines are probably all a little locked up!

Jean-Marc Vincent

Le Beaurepaire Santenay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Blanc not Noir. Apple, ripe pear, rolling in my mouth, smooth with a touch of tartness in the finish. Lawn clippings under a shade tree. A plump bird sings on the branch. — 10 years ago

Zentner Vineyard Charbono 2012
