Forlorn Hope

Que Saudade Verdelho

Verdelho.Labeled California as it is a blend from Sierra Foothills (Rorick vineyard in Calaveras County and Dewitt's vineyard in Amador County) and Central Valley (Vista Luna Vineyard in Borden Ranch - Lodi AVA). Bright yellow. Intense, fresh nose with pineapple and ripe grapefruit. Taste corresponds to the smell, great mix of pineapple fruit and the subtle bitterness of ripe grapefruit, great balancing acidity, real depth and a long finish. Never tasted anything this good from this grape. Great stuff. Matthew Rorick strikes again! 2014 vintage. — 8 years ago

San Hercurmer delle Frecce Shake Ridge Vineyard Barbera

Only 97 cases made of this 2013 Barbera from winemaker Matthew Rorick out in Cali. Small plot, unique grape bold winemaking and a taste to match. Tough to source but worth it. Especially for a long Amtrak ride. — 9 years ago

Finally had a chance to try this famous wine (thank you @Matthew Rorick) and guess what? It's frickin' awesome. Brilliant balance, ripe fruit balancing laser acidity, it completely works. Really stunning. Pretty cool when such a highly sought after wine doesn't just live up to the hype but exceeds it. — 9 years ago

Riesling

Riesling from California......and it's good?! Really good. Nice zip. The fruit is starting to show itself a little more and is a welcome addition to the program. Would love to do this side-by-side with Tatomer's from the same site. — 10 years ago

Les Petits Vougeots Vougeot 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2008

2008. The purest vougeot I ve encountered so far. Less expressive organic strawberry nose. No black fruit detected. Palate is a drawback due to the vintage? Watery at mid palate, stingy at the back but really vivid. A fantastic vougeot. Buy. — 11 years ago
