2011, Domaine De La Grand Cour, Le Clos Cuvee Vielles Vignes, Fleurie Gamay. My first bottle from this producer. Wow, this is major Cru Beaujolais. Full bodied, complex, acidic, tannic finish. Tart red fruit, earthy, a little oak. Give me more! — 10 years ago

Brander vineyard, planted in 1975, is a quiet legend in the Santa Ynez AVA. The vineyard specializes in Bordeaux style wines, with major grape varietals consisting of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Sauvignon Blanc tends not to age well, so drink them within ~3 years of bottling. Warmer climate examples, typical of CA, tend towards grapefruit and tree fruit flavors and typically balance the young juice with high acid. This one was quite crisp and refreshing! ~$17 | #brander #sauvingnonblanc #santaynezvalley

North Coast Syrah. And wow, seriously the best wine I've had in so very long. So surpassed expectations with the quiet tannins and wonderful bouquet. I wish they would crop dust major cities with this perfume. Pepper, violets and gameness. Sounds like small production so I'm worried this is one of the last bottles around. — 11 years ago
Shared this wine with friends last night
We all loved it - crisp and dry - a major step up from what we are used to — 11 years ago
Decanted 2 hrs. Deep maroon. Ripe dark fruit dominated by black licorice, anise and alcohol. Full bodied and acidic with velvety tannins. A very chewy wine with major cellaring potential. I'll lay the other two bottles down for 5-10 yrs. once it integrates I'm sure it'll be 93+ — 11 years ago
Delicious blend of all major reds! — 12 years ago
