Abstract Grenache Blend

Hearty Blend. Just had it with a filet. Hit the spot. Love the Orin swift wines. They are true to their original form from when they started. Very good. A little spice, blackberry. — 11 days ago

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Stylistically similar to Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich and fruit forward with loads of oak influences. Probaly slightly more jammy than Caymus, it also has a bit more minerality nuance.
Undeniably delicious and easy to drink, it might benefit from several more years of bottle age.

Pessimist Paso Robles Red Blend

Pessimist — Un brindis entre amigos
Probamos el Pessimist una tarde cualquiera.
El vino abrió su alma como nosotros la nuestra: oscuro, profundo y un ligero toque dulce de sinceridad.

Al servirlo, su color "chicha morada", denso y casi misterioso como las mejores conversaciones. En nariz, fue un abrazo de moras, ciruela, un toque de vainilla y esa nota ahumada profunda que parecía venir de alguna historia que ya habíamos vivido.

Al probarlo, todo se ensambló con naturalidad... la potencia del Syrah, la dulzura del Zinfandel y la estructura del Petite Sirah fusionaron nuestras personalidades en la mesa.

Taninos suaves, redondos pero con la firmeza justa que te envuelve el paladar sin imponerse. Vino con carácter, pero sin arrogancia que supo acompañar mientras hablábamos de la vida,
y celebrar.

Pessimist no nos pareció pesimista... nos recordó que el tiempo bien vivido se mide en copas compartidas, y que algunos vinos, como algunas amistades, se sienten mejor cuando se dejan abrir con calma!

It’s got that CA profile. Dusty earth and tooti frooti but also has some good spice. But yea, that CA profile. Elegant, sweet and balanced. Not big but small and pure. Nice. — a month ago

L'Ermitage Brut Anderson Valley Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2017

2017. Pre-anniversary dinner at the oven. 33 years ago we couldn’t afford a lot for our wedding reception and bought a case of the Roederer Estate wine for our reception. We’ve never tried the L’Ermitage until tonight. We loved it! — 17 days ago
