Hilt & Blade

Left Coast Cellars

The Orchards Estate Grown Pinot Gris 2015

Very pale yellow. Nose is expressive with apples, orange blossoms, honey dew melon, and just a blade of lemon grass. It's medium to full bodied with a silky mouthfeel, but it's still zingy and lively as hell. An explosion of tart apples and lemon lollipop command the palate, with mineral and fresh garden herbs. It finishes tart but with a heavy coating that lets the flavors linger. — 8 years ago

Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2011

Part of the Bespoke Post Reserve box. Aerate using Blade Decanting Pourer. Sweet but pleasant zing to the tip of the tongue, enough complexity to make it a mouthful. Very nice. — 8 years ago

Greenish yellow; strawy, peaty, green apple and melon; lean, vertical almost laser-blade, at the same time with a good substance and dry extract. Not a sweet mineral water like Mosel but lemon juice from Normandy (sic) — 9 years ago

The Hilt

The Vanguard Pinot Noir 2013

Good QPR. Won't win any awards for complexity, but it's got a nice strawberry nose, medium/full body, and a unique citrusy finish. Nice acid so I'm guessing it will hang out for a bit. Bought three, will be interesting to see how it progresses over the years. I'd buy it again. — 9 years ago

Let's begin with one word: FRAGRANCE. Just back from Italia, I will posit that this deep-garnet siren is just about the essence of that famed land on ones nostrils. My olfactory is pleased, greets this cuvee: *ciao*. We get right to business, where smelling is concerned: how very red tea of you, Amore. How very cinar-esque you smell today. Is that chanterelle on your breath, cracked black pepper in your hair, gravel crunching warmly under your feet? Thought so, certo. Moving right along, we address that thing essential to all dancers, composers and clothiers: STRUCTURE. Yours is on the delicious knife-edge of acidic to too-acidic, tannic to too-tannic, in both cases falling on the right side of the blade. Your alcohol level is just warm enough, not hot, and your finish is somehow cool and lingering. You are a cool cat, balanced and self assured. But wait: there's more, because we didn't talk abt your other PERFUMES leaping from the glass and traveling lovingly to my olfactory: brown spice, astronaut strawberry, cranberry, purple flower. DOLCE & GABBANA/ we have, at last, your newest fragrance: La Dolce Susumaniello. Carry on! 🇮🇹 — 10 years ago

Monday is the best night to #saberit! We paired this with a hamachi, maguro, avocado and rice bowl. This all Avize, old vine cuvée is given four years on the lees and has richness as well as razor sharp minerality. The perfect wine for a blade show! — 10 years ago

For my 1000th bottle here on Delectable I'll just post this. By far the best white wine I've ever tried. Longer than long, brighter than sun, sharper than a razor blade, lazer precision and just insane complexity. I solo'ed this bottle and couldn't been happier.
