Rockpile Vineyard Syrah 2014

Rockpile Haley bottling,
I’ll take Paso Syrah over this Vineyard in Sonoma. Nothing really unique or distinctive about this one. Good but not great

Good call. Always well made but I can't tell Jeff's wines apart from one another. Ask @John Sweeney to try galacia effect Syrah made at Jeff's winery. It's freaking nuts Paul. Gotta get on the mailing list but well worth it. Second label is just as good for a fraction of the price

Really flavorful, touch on the sweet side but it tastes like flowers and there's nothing that I don't like about it. Simple and good. No clue where I'll find it again. — 10 years ago

Domaine Puydeval

Jeff Carrel Cabernet Franc Blend 2015

Smells like a shop that only sells dried fragrant fruit on tiny hemp strings. The shop is playing “Gorecki, Symph #3

The first flavor/band to hit my palette is “XTC: skylarking” a harmonious blend of red and blue fruits, subtle, yet always a new one after every sip.

This wraps up with a truly silky, smooth style, with a long, lingering flash of vanilla. “Prince: Purple rain” is what’s happening in my head at the moment..
Stunning Cab Franc blend..

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

This was not only the WOTN but is definitely the WOTY for me. My head snapped back in utter amazement as soon as I enjoyed my 1st sniff of the nose. Holy mother of all wines is this bottle absolutely stunning and perfect. It's by far the best wine that I have had the privilege to enjoy. This is exactly what I was expecting from the famed 61!!!!!! It was simply perfect. A truly perfect example of what Latour is and what every Bordeaux blend in the world aspires to be. Utter perfection in its opulence & decadence: blackberry, black currant, intense & soaring aromatics. You could enjoy the nose at arms length!!! Simply & utterly stunning. Thank you Jeff!!!!!!!!!!@Jeffrey Lew — 7 years ago

Trying to kickoff the week on the right foot - thank you, Jeff Shifflett, for adding some spice to this meal! Lots of vanilla in this well-rounded 09 cab. Homeland starts tonight too - hollaaaa! (And I actually edited my rating to make it higher - this juice is crazy when it opens up!!) — 9 years ago
