Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Sophisticated bouquet! Oak and dark fruit with plentiful tannins. Superb wine that probably benefits from another 5-10 years in the cellar. My rating is on promise! — 5 months ago

Western Cape Chenin Blanc Verdelho 2015

Wow. What a wonderful Chenin. So balanced, solid umami foundation of hazelnut and pine nuts on which the peach, pear and golden delicious apple fruit notes flourish. Yum 😩. — 8 months ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

First time trying this wine and HIGH expectations. Hit it with oxygen from winepro2 to start. On the nose, it just smells dark and brooding. First sip. Wild blueberries and I mean wild. Like right out of the forest. Good juiciness but also some grip and spicyness. I originally thought tobacco or bramble or even just I can taste the woods. My wife said it was spicy and had a kick. I thought it was super smooth. Did not notice the oak at all. Very fragrant with blue and dark fruits. Very dense. I almost couldn’t taste the seasoning of the food as if the wine overpowered the food. Kinda wild. Overall enjoyed this and was easy to drink — a month ago

Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

A more subtle nose than I expected given the deep ruby color in the glass. Rich dark fruit with black cherry and raspberry completed with vanilla and graphite. Tannins are well integrated but omnipresent. Small in texture but not soft. Lovely bottle! — 16 days ago

Momento Massimo Rosso di Toscana IGT 2015

With one M shy in the back and the other M writing this we have to be honest. This is a well made super tuscan from Chianti. Cab S, Merlot and PV. Some 5000 bottles made. All the typical characteristics present. Bonus for the name! M and M — 6 months ago

Nana-Tsu-Mori Pinot Noir 2021

Believe the hype. A big sweaty vegetal savory note- celery?? chartreuse?? - cloaked in velvet. Something Burgundian yet totally sui generis. Fabulous texture, seductive nose. Thanks to @Geoff Franz — 9 months ago
