Heron's Flight

Cuttings California Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

Had a tasting flight of 2013 and 2014. Absolutely wonderful. 2013 was nearly oirt-like...2014 had more fruit — 8 years ago

Château Troplong Mondot

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Greg Ballington
9.2

First red wine of the tasting and third wine in flight one for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight.

Deep opaque ruby red. Dark fruity nose with black currants and black cherries. Strong earthiness and stoney note undertones. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium bodied. Sweet spices and dusty on the front end. Followed by a touch of dark cocoa and herbal notes such as eucalyptus. Slatey long finish. Drink till 2032.

Napa Valley Red Blend 2011

Fourth flight. I've had many good 2011's so I don't feel I'm biased, but when compared to the rest this wine was the consensus this was the worst of the bunch. It's not a bad wine, lean, red fruits, short clipped finish. — 10 years ago

Araujo Estate

Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Great Cali wine! Was the consensus number one wine of a tough Cali flight including 94 Dominus. Unlike the 91 Dominus you know that this is new world from California. Well made with great structure and balance. — 10 years ago

Domaine Dujac

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1993

Good stuff. Again sort of weird to be in a flight but whatever, dujac. Super dark, spicy savoury goodness. Deep dark murky earthy minerality but again big push of fruit. Wicked good. A real treat. — 9 years ago

DuMOL

Ryan Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2008

One of my favorite Pinots. Very elegant mild berry flavors. With a cooked strawberry flavor on the finish. I have a flight from 08, 09, & 2010. Could not wait any longer to pull this off the rack. — 9 years ago

A runner up in the flight. Seductive on the char/smokey and savory side, with compact, juicy fruit that filled the palate. Showing well. — 12 years ago

Blind Napa 14 tasting, 1st flight. Maybe the most forward young Togni I have tried- layered with plenty of nuance. Would like to revisit the Dominus- as this was not a good showing and may have been an off bottle — 9 years ago

The Emirates flight crew altered me that @Claire Owen and I consumed a total of 4 bottles on the flight...worth it, I think? Needed something to pair with the caviar and canapés. #EmiratesSuites #a380 #honeymoon — 10 years ago

Osprey's Dominion Vineyards

Flight Meritage Red Wine 2007

Best red from Osprey's so far. Floral bouquet with berries and a hint of tobacco. No discordant notes with a lingering, pleasant finish. Standing up to and getting along just fine with blue cheese. A keeper. #everydaygems — 11 years ago
