Heart Stone Vineyard Syrah Blend 2007

Okay, some explanation is in order. First of all, the wine is off-scale awesome. Absolutely beautiful fruit on the nose, balance throughout a lingering, elegant finish. Fantastic. The cork, on the other hand, was a disaster. This wine was stored on its side at 55 F upon receipt from the winery. I am absolutely certain that Justin does his due diligence in selecting corks, but something clearly was amiss with at least this cork from the 2007 Heartstone. This is just a word of caution: if you have this in your cellar, the wine is awesome. Just be careful with the cork! — 6 years ago

We've had that issue with many of our Saxum bottles. We only use Osso type bottle openers nowadays

Grand Cru Sommerberg Riesling 2017

Gor
9.2

Clear, medium gold with nice with nice unncharacteristic legs given away high alcohol content for a Riesling. Nose of medium+ intensity, primary, developing. Honeysuckle, peach and hint of melon on the nose. Off dry palate with high acidity offsetting the medium+ body. Leads to a medium+ finish. Juicy, concentrated and flavorful now but should develop some interesting secondary notes adding to complexity down the line. — 5 years ago

Bone Rock James Berry Vineyard Syrah Grenache 2005

Boogie dark in the glass. Dark berry fruit parade. Licorice, lead pencil, graphite, flinty, crushed rock. Maybe a touch of seared meats. Monster huge, concentrated, layered but perfectly balanced. This wine has a sweet tannin that just seduces me. Suggest a 2 hour decant. My last 05. Please send more @Justin Smith — 10 years ago
