Notorious Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Let it breathe to soften up. Layers of dark fruits and an soft dry finish. — 7 years ago

Wind Gap Wines

James Berry Vineyard Chardonnay

From CA vineyard royalty. Improves as it warms and with air time. This is a lesson in balance. Not a steely chard full of tropical flavors yet retains its minerality. Not an oak laced butter bomb but merely hints that it saw a minimal amount of oak in it's lifetime. Only 12.2% which is incredibly refreshing in a chard, especially one from a warmer climate. Tragic that 2013 was the last vintage before the chard vines were ripped out of the vineyard. — 9 years ago

Copain

James Berry Paso Robles Syrah 2003

Intense raspberry on the nose with hints of smoke. Amazed how time has tamed this wine. Rich and lush red fruit this has successfully transformed itself. Reverberated in every nook and cranny of my mouth Carries its alcohol effortlessly. Last of 3 bottles and this one was head and shoulders better than the previous 2. — 9 years ago

Ballistic Paso Robles Zinfandel 2011

Mark Salinas
9.1

Dark red in color. A bit of spice on the nose, but mostly fruity. Peppery as expected for a Zin on the palette. A lingering finish is present, but not too long. A good solid Zin to represent the Paso Robles Wine Region. — 11 years ago

James Bryant Hill

Central Coast Pinot Noir 2014

Decent Pinot. Not great. — 9 years ago

James Irvine

Eden Valley Grand Merlot 2006

Must decant/air for 3+ hrs.
Opens up to a sumptuous wine. Dark plum coloured. Earthen nose. Leather, must, dried violets but with subtle blue berries. Fantastic mouth feel. New world with forward fruits heavy and rich. Vanilla, licorice and cola. Medium plus tannins. Would not pair with rich meat or steak. Hard and semi-hard cheese should be good.

Pax Mahle Wines

James Berry Vineyard Red Rhone Blend 2012

Love what Pax has done over the years. I have a few bottles of his 2003 Griffins Layer... It's a beautiful wine that is probably mind-blowing at this point; however, this wine shows restraint, refinement and a sense of place. Looking forward to owning a bottle in a few years. — 9 years ago
