Every time I drink a gramenon I think of the widower finding out about her husband blowing his own head off accidentally in the forest. Did I say widower? I meant winemaker. Did I say husband? I meant former winemaker. Holy shit. RESPECT! ✊🏼 — 10 years ago

A very nice Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Lots of blueberry, plum, raspberry, and dark cherry on the nose. On the palate I taste plum, caramel, and a little coffee. The finish is very nice and long. Great structure in this wine with elegant tannins and almost perfect acidity in my opinion. Our wine for the night before we head back to Houston after a week in Napa and Sonoma. Sigh.......

Original bottling, and worth the time on the cellar. More understated and seamless than it was in its youth, now quietly complex and richly complicated. — 11 years ago

Deep garnet in color, with aromas of sweet berries. Quite smooth and fruit-forward with soft tannins. — 12 years ago

Still can't wrap my head around this wonder. Classic Rioja with beautiful depth. Made 70 years ago. A once in a lifetime event. — 13 years ago

Had this at a lecture on ancient fermentation, props to Dogfish for trying this, its a fruity pomegranate juice with 8+% alcohol to kick you in the ass. — 10 years ago

This baby's got HOPS. The intense hoppy bite hits you hard and fast in the front, but it mellows considerably mid-palate. The bitterness fades into a malty, almost woody body. The mouthfeel is thick and velvety for an IPA. Although I can't say it's my absolute favorite, this is a unique and thoroughly worthwhile IPA experience. — 10 years ago

Right up my alley--great balance of malt and hops, solid alcohol backbone but not overdone like some other Imperials. 90 Minute is still my benchmark, but this is a very worthy horse in those stables. Excellent! — 10 years ago

Dark fruit balanced through old oak showing light spice on the nose encouraging thought to nail a specific note but is remaining a bit of an enigma in my rock rattled head after a good day enhanced by 75 MPH Harley induced wind and the brilliance of Bose and an iPhone. Ok, back to the wine, it touches, lightly grabs spreading its dark berry mini-burst in a layered earth touched tannin slow ride making magic with some of Chapel Hill's Bin 54's straight up amazing goodness (in this case very rare filet mignon, garlic tinged green beans and almond slivers; my go to steak spot in NC). Damn, this is all so right-on! Cheers! — 11 years ago

Head over heels in love with this new discovery. Lightness of fruit and weight that is unusual in Macon, even in the cool 2011 vintage. — 11 years ago

The bottle I got smelled a lot like bread. This may be a flaw in the wine but i really liked it despite it's contrast to all the fruitiness of the wine — 10 years ago

This is more approachable in its youth than the Eagle Summit. Round fruit and a clean finish. — 11 years ago

Perhaps the most surprising and fantastic food/wine pairing of my life: 87 Joly CdS and a Niman Ranch bacon sandwich on potato bread with a spread of Mayo as thick as my head felt this morning after a dinner with a legend. The acid in this 1987 made German Riesling seem as alkaline as lye. It shook the bacon from the inside of my cheeks and concentrated its intensity on the middle of my palate. It made the bacon more bacon. It's 28 years old. Bad A :-) — 11 years ago
