A nice Bordeaux and a bunch of mesquite-grilled lamb chops. This Cantemerle is quite dense and youthful. Color shows almost no sign of age. With air, nose slowly unfurls to show lots of graphite, menthol, tight cassis fruit, underbrush, and crushed rock. Medium bodied, the flavors are tight too, and there is nice concentration, but it’s mostly promise for the future. Tannins are nicely managed and there is good acidity. 9.2+ — 3 years ago

Blend of Tintilla and Tempranillo from the biodynamically farmed vineyard Calderín del Obispo within the Pago de Balbaína, close to the Atlantic Ocean. Fresh, juicy red fruit, lighter than other Tintilla-based wines from the region. Easy to drink — 4 years ago

Tony and his wife Herta purchased 30 acres of land in the Napa Valley with the magic ingredient - location. With a splash of Malbec added, aromas of dark berry fruit and cigar box spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and raspberry with cacao, licorice and herb notes. Fine tannins, nice acidity, good balance on long finish ending with fruit and cedar notes. Drinking well now! — 5 years ago

Watching game seven of the National League Series with my family in Colorado. Wonderful wine. This is the 2014 Grenache Syrah blend. Tastes like a far more expensive wine. — 7 years ago

Very much in the style of the Sandhi wines from Santa Barbara. Touch of flint, matchstick, lemon pie and cream. #oregon #chardonnay #eolaamityhills — 5 years ago

Day 2 of Napa in the books!

Started off our day at Continuum. One of the most beautiful and sleek in style properties I’ve ever been to. Incredible layout and dedication to land. This Novicium is 89% cab, 11% CF I believe. About twice as much cab percentage than their flagship Continuum. Made from younger vines. Very floral aromatics of potpourri and sage (lots of this around the property). Heavy mid palate sandwiched between fairly light front and finish. Dark cocoa dusted dates, graphite, and blackberry. — 7 years ago

Beautiful wine! I’ve had other vintages of this wine in the past. I tasted this 2017 out of 1.5L. Felt quite feminine in nature. Medium plus acidity and a long finish. Red fruited, and earthy. Dried cranberries, and tarragon. Seemed like a kaleidoscope of aromas and flavors. Very happy to have tried this! — 4 years ago

It’s been two weeks since any activity on my end 🤷🏻‍♀️ I promise I’ve been drinking well! A thank you to @Antonio Galloni for letting @Samantha Potter and I join a mid-tasting lunch with a glass of this wonderful wine. I sadly didn’t take notes but I do remember it went down like silk, really delicious. — 7 years ago

2014 tasted shortly after distribution release. Of course it’s hound and tight. But it’s good. Wound tight with a lot of promise. — 8 years ago
