Metley & Bounds

August Briggs

Old Vines Calistoga Zinfandel 2014

Well-executed example of the more modern, super-ripe, plush Zin style. Not a style I am crazy about in general, but this one is not over-the-top. Nose has juicy blackberry, a bit of maple syrup, and some sandestony gravel. Plush and deeply fruity, but within bounds, keeping some balance throughout the long finish. Not super complex, but very nice. — 6 years ago

Amara Digestivo All' Arancia Rossa

I sought it out because my love of blood oranges knows no bounds. Citrus, apples, friendly sweetness—and make no mistake the blood orange is different than an orange. Then a whiff of floral. Blossoms will take you home. — 7 years ago

With a hint of eucalyptus and a robust spicy fruit flavor this wine truly encompasses all that Mondavi can be. It truly sustains all temporal bounds. — 8 years ago

Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2017

Brioche, lilac, almond paste, and bruised golden apple. Orchard fruits are rounded with creme, vanilla bean, toast. Bright acid bounds to finish, with underripe apple and apricot. Under screw-cap. — 6 years ago

Delicious! A great Chardonnay for sure. Better than most others but not leaps and bounds above. Definitely worth it and would get again. — 7 years ago

This wine has come on leaps and bounds, and this vintage really is rather good. Lots of comparisons have been made between Bacchus and sauvignon blanc, and there are definitely some similarities on show. Very fresh, with a smart finish. — 8 years ago

The Annex Ale Project from Calgary brewed by Metes & Bounds XPA is a world class IPA clean, crisp full bodied but not over powering, it’s a keeper. If you like Big Canadian IPAs this one’s for you. So many great IPAs to try to find the best one and so little time but this one is close. Cheers 🍻🇨🇦 — 8 years ago

Terra Bianca Srl

Campaccio Toscana Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Day one and minimal aeration I got a bit of balsamic on the nose and pallet. It seemed like peak may have passed. Still quite drinkable. Day 3 aeration (using the suction preserver) and the flavor is leaps and bounds better. Nose of earth and red berries, maybe even raspberry. Pallet is smooth (no tart or bitter flavor), more earth, silky tannins and more red berries. Not a thick Cab beast, but pretty, floral, and impressed with the turnaround. — 9 years ago

Desparada

Sackcloth & Ashes Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

This is their tete de cuvée and it shows! I am a big fan of Desperada and this falls right in line for me. There is a hair of residual sugar that is right at the line of where I like it - pushing all the bounds. Great job. — 8 years ago

Love this wine. Sylvain has made leaps and bounds in quality since I started working with him. Gorgeous nose. Red fruited granite infused very boisterous nose. Some nice chocolate and cocoa. Gorgeous lift and so clean. Palate is juicy and complex with wonderful elegance and terrific high quality tannin. So fresh and dazzling length. Terrific concentration and purity. This is totally showing out of its mind. — 8 years ago

Rubicon Estate

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

12 years and tightly wound, but made leaps and bounds coming to the fore. Incredible rim to rim India black. Botanically rich in licorice and rosemary bordering on Ünderberg. Raspberry liqueur, blackberry jam and charred oak aromas mellowed by sweet madura tobacco and clove. Mint chocolate and vanilla, black currant, hazelnut coffee, and just enough smoke and graphite, to keep it complex and real. A powerfully structured wine from ancient, storied vines! — 9 years ago
