Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2016

A bit muted right now, but that's because the prosciutto and melon is poppin' Holmes. It's Italy and Provence on the same table in SoYo. — 9 years ago

Château Coufran

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

Light to medium bodied, Sherlock Holmes feel, drinks nicely, aged very well. Tasted better after it breathed, would drink it now and not wait much longer. What a delicious wine for our Christmas Dinner! — 10 years ago

Elyse

Morisoli Vineyard Rutherford Zinfandel 2010

Sugar Ray, not Larry Holmes. This has finesse and nuance- not an 'in your face' berry explosion. Liked it quite a bit. — 11 years ago

Getting more oak in my second go round. I might have been overly generous with my earlier rating

Switchback Ridge

Peterson Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Such an unbridled beauty! This is pedal to the metal with intoxicating berry compote laced with swiss chocolate in the aroma. Mind bending intensity and wonderful structure. May not be for everyone, but it IS for me!!! Also, an absolute pleasure to meet Mrs. Kelly Peterson-Holmes as she presented her wines admirably. — 7 years ago

Handley

Estate Chardonnay 2014

A small family-owned winery in Mendocino County, bonded in 1982, located at the northwest end of the Anderson Valley on 59 acres of the original Holmes Ranch. Still standing on the property are the now-refurbished ranch house, barn, and the original water tower. Stone and tropical fruit aromas with spice and oak notes. On the palate apple and citrus flavors, with nutty oak tones. Lingering finish ending with mineral characteristics. — 9 years ago

Holmes Gap Vineyard

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2011

Traditionally styled Pinot Noir full of soul. Not the ripest, showiest nor most fragrant wine but one of the most balanced and restrained I have had since delving deeper into Willamette's hundreds of micro-producers. — 11 years ago

Royal Oporto (Real Companhia Velha)

Robert Mondavi Winery

To-Kalon I Block Fumé Blanc 2011

A mouthful of vibrant acidity, peachy/stoney vibes and a finish that would make John Holmes cry. I guess that's what one would expect from 66 year old To Kalon vines. — 11 years ago
