Moss Wood

Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2009

This is Moss Woods second ranked cuvée. I had doubts about this after their Top cuvée in 2009 was disappointing. See notes elsewhere on Delectable where it was picked Super ripe. This , however is better than expected. Herbaceous Margaret River Cabernet Notes with Merlot filling out the middle palate. Sweet plummy flavours. Very balanced and ready to drink. — 7 years ago

These generally start hitting at 8-10 years. Maybe early or a bad vintage.

Reed & Lacey

California Gold Honey Molasses Barley Spirit

This is one of the most purely delicious spirits I've tasted in quite some time. Bourbon-like vanilla and cherry aromas, prevalent chocolate in the middle and roasted corn at the end. Alcoholic, but smooth on the palate w/ more of that bourbon corn and butterscotch. Very cool product!! Hope to see its return! — 9 years ago

Cullen Wines

Diana Madeline Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

Initial vanilla aromas which blew off. Settled down to a typical Marg River nose with leafy aromas with many of the Cabernet descriptors like Olive and Capsicum. Middle weight at best and so balanced it gives very little if that makes sense. A very good Bordeaux blend which is a little restrained for my palate. — 10 years ago

Heringer Estates Vineyard Teroldego 2013

.
9.2

Overtly fruity on the nose with a slightly tarry note that dissipates during a 90 min. decant. Initially, the palate shows bright cranberry, red cherries, and a hint of cinnamon. As it continues to open, ripe blueberries appear and round out the the mid-palate. The acidity is moderate and keeps things lively, and the tannins provide a sense of grip on the back end. This is my first Teroldego and it strikes me as a terrific middle ground between Dolcetto and Barbera, borrowing elements of both. Very nicely done. — 7 years ago

Goldeneye (Duckhorn Vineyards)

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2003

Today we arrive at the last of our '03 on this bottle, many vintage's prior now in the memory banks as well. We fell in love with Anderson Valley Pinot Noir a long time ago, it always seemed to be the perfect balance of middle-weight flavors on the West Coast between the fruity PN's a few hours south, and the jammy PN's many hours north. We still buy this bottle every year since '97, but the quantities have lessened. In the late 2000's Duckhorn seemed to go crazy and instead of continually focusing on making one great bottle with Goldeneye, they diversfied like mad scientists. I'm thinking they got overrun by marketing folks at the top of their ranks. Nonetheless, it's always been a great bottle of PN. — 8 years ago

Lenton Brae

Margaret River Cabernet-Merlot 2012

Entry level Cab blend from Lenton Brae and punching above its weight. Notes of geranium and black currant. The palate shows good richness and body finishing with fine quality tannins. Merlot fleshing out the middle palate nicely. Very impressed. — 9 years ago

Goose Island

India Pale Ale

I was slightly disappointed by this much talked about and praised IPA in the beer community, I like it, and think it had some nice things going for it, but I was not blown away like many are by this beer, nice middle of the country hops and well balanced malt , citrus, very pleasant and subtle, not in your face or palate IPA, 5.9 % ALC/VOL do not taste any of that, very good starter IPA for first timers, defiantly different then the West Coast IPA's I will keep this on hand and give more time to grow on me, only want to give more time because so many are big fans, will re review if something changes, — 11 years ago

Recommended by Mel at West Central Wine. Mild aroma of blackberries. Definitely aeration is needed as it opens up. Mild tannins that crest in the middle. — 7 years ago

Spoto Wines

Double Barrel Blend Oakville Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

This is an awesone little wine. Decanted for about 3 hours before being enjoyed. This wine was a MONSTER. Made partially from Oakville Station / To-Kalon fruit and partially from Ashe Vineyards also in Oakville (opposite sides of 29, therefore "East Meets West"). This wine has power!! Blackberry perfume emitting from the glass. Poured a nice dark maroon color. The entry was blackberry, herb, had a nice middle that was very full bodied and dense. Finished with great length and depth with a lot of tannin. This wine will last forever it seems. This one had just a bit more than the standard 2013 Private Reserve, and was the hit of the night. — 8 years ago
