Blueberry pie with bacon fat, in a dirt field on a hay bale. A tiny touch of black powder and horsehair at first, which give way to rum cake, hickory, and concentrate violet oils after a little time in the glass. Give it an hour in the decanter for maximum enjoyment! — 5 years ago

Light gold colour with aromas of nuts, apricots and lots of lemon curd on this one. A great mouth feel with mineral creaminess. Extremly balanced and lingers long. A sophisticated wine from a very talented wine maker! — 6 years ago

2008 vintage. Smoky, meaty, red and black fruit, integrated tannin, pepper. Dried herbs. Wow, if all new world Syrah tasted like this. This winery is making wine in the Rhone style. — 8 years ago

Linear Hirtzbirger, this is a tight Federspiel that drops a lot of Gruner character in beams of acidity. Notes of hay, sweet lemons, and stone minerality, complex and elegantly tense. #gruner #vacationresearch — 8 years ago

Excellent complexity. Roast Sumatra coffee texture and literally its scent. 2hour decanting is necessary to bring out the most of its dormant complexity. The only thing that bothers me is its geographical identity. If blindly tasted, I would undoubtedly say this is typical Margaux grand cru classe. The wine maker really has a lot to do with Margaux and Saint julien. Anyway, it's a great wine. — 9 years ago

I like this one. Es un malbec especial, se sinte picoso y alcoholico. Solo hay que dejarlo respirar un poco, ea delicioso en olor y consistencia.
Realmente de mis preferidos. — 9 years ago

We toasted the old Year with Doubleback’s 2014 Cab. Signed by both Drew Bledsoe and the wine maker. Dusty leather came to mind. Deep dark earthy flavors. However, they didn’t transition into a multi-layer complexity. Also the finish was not as intense and grippy as I had hoped for. So contrary to our 2019. Here at the end of the year where Tammy is concluding her mayor tenure after 16 years and 25 years of service to the community and the City. She received overwhelming gratitude and love from folks from all walks of life who felt she had impacted their life for the better. Reflecting back at the honoring we received at Capital Church (my first standing ovation I have received in my life ...it pays to hangout with the big wig 😄), the heart warming, full of grace and gratitude dinner with the Stake Presidents. The emotional, caring, loving, tears and laughter farewell event with the City directors and employees and finally, the 250 community stakeholders, friends and family joining us at the Mayor Tammy farewell dinner at Scentsy. What a grand finale. Cheers 2019! You have been fantastic and your finish will linger forever!!! — 4 years ago

There’s so much here it’s hard to put in words! Magical is a good descriptor... Notes range from orchard fruit, white flowers, hay, kettle corn, with a striking minerality always coming through. — 6 years ago

Sample from #CapeClassics.
Deep ruby red with high intensity. Nose was slightly dirty to start with a little barnyard or wet hay funk (good South African funk, don't be scared). This aired out to some classic chalkiness with tobacco, light bell peppers and a little charred note at the end. Moderate tannins (7/10) with a medium plus body. This was very tight and softer than expected when we opened it, but started to sing after a few hours in the glass. Very well integrated, no sharp or harsh edges. Layered palate with some red cherries and savory notes on the front end. With the air time came a few more notes of black berries and raspberries, some dried berries too. Also seemed to have a few rustic characteristics. Beautiful wine with a dry and lingering finish. Definitely one of the great wines out of South Africa. Give it some good air time and let it get to just below room temperature before enjoying. Drink till 2028. — 7 years ago

We know it's a tall statement, but we're going for it: Lapierre's Morgon is the benevolent king of happy maker wines. Perfectly juicy sweet-tart red fruit, earth & herbs - it just never fails to put a smile on our face. It's the perfect match for a sunny spring weekend. — 8 years ago

Nice Sauvignon Blanc which is especially good to accompany a menu, but perfectly fine to drink just by itself as well! One of my favorites in the ~10€ range — 9 years ago

2012: herbal, quite mealy, vanilla, thyme, hay, lemon pith. Unctuous, creamy, apricot, and more fresher than most years. Perhaps going into the dreaded dumb phase soon? Stone fruited, melon, rich. Good but the standard Blanc is close in quality! — 9 years ago

I knew Santa was a 49ers fan this year!!!

Decant for sediment( lots of chunky/fine sedinent). A vivid dark purple with some browing and little bricking. On the nose: sweet/delicate "old" cabernet notes jump from the glass with musty leather, some dark fruit, cedar, bale of hay. Taste: prunes, minerals, smoke, with a cherry leather medium plus long finish. On the downside of its life, but still drinking great for an old 12.5% alcohol cab.....Yum! — 4 years ago

A great Syrah from an Oregon Winery, but the grapes come from California. Made by the previous assistant wine maker of Sine Qua Non.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, vanilla, licorice, wood, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.

Well balanced and complex with a great mouthfeel. Delicious and yummy.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

Very mineral nose with crushed rocks, a hint of smoke, hay, white flowers, petrol a bit maybe ? The palate is very good : a wide opening with white flowers and white peach, a real grip and texture that lasts and accompanies the acid backbone to the finish with white fruits. Very good but perhaps a tad under the 2015. Less complexity in the structure I guess. Still very good though — 6 years ago

2001 Paul Chapelle Santenay "Graviéres" 1er Cru - Well balanced and holding up nicely. Irony mineral, flinty red cherry, orange peel, hay and mushroom, with medium acid and med(-) tannins. Did well with shitake mushrooms sautéed in goat butter and sweet vermouth served over the Osso Bucco. Enjoyed over a 4 hour period with hard salami and Calabrese as well and it never lost its integrity or tried to close up. Drink now and enjoy. — 8 years ago

I'm led to believe that this is pretty unfashionable at the moment but I couldn't give less of a shit. A great, pure wine that gives you exactly what you ask for. A light greenish hue; not getting much grapefruit but lots of cider apples and perry pears, with a touch of cat's piss and maybe a hint of freshly cut (lightly damp) hay and fatty cheese rind; plenty of acidity, apt minerality, and a lovely lingering palette-cleansing freshness. Our house pour for fish and chips with mushy peas and my home made tartare sauce. — 9 years ago
