Noisy Ritual

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Patelin de Tablas Blanc White Blend 2016

Tablas Creek has long been one of my favorite Paso Robles producers. From the care they put into their vineyards—biodynamic farming, noisy sheep, a rambunctious trio of winery dogs, and a resident shepherd—the good folks at Tablas turn out elegant wines that are nuanced, superbly balanced and long aging. For the price, they're just that much more attractive. The 2016 Patelin de Tablas is fresh, light, convivial. Lemon curd and yellow apple lifted by a starburst of white mineral acid that courses through the center. — 8 years ago

Noisy neighbors party didn't get us down- we bounced to the Sofitel for a suite party of our own. This biodynamic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc was perfect with room service... Lots of morel savor & classic 2004 acid and mineral drive! — 10 years ago

Castello di Amorosa

Napa Valley Sangiovese 2012

Oak is a little more noticeable on the nose than I would like it to be, but this is California Sangiovese, not Italian. It's bombastic where the Italian version is understated. It's noisy where the other is quiet, ripe instead of restrained. The palate is showy and brassy, with a nice tannic structure that is useful, not abrasive. Big black cherry flavors and minerality show noticeably, with a bit of allspice poking through. — 9 years ago

Amador County Chenin Blanc

News flash: Tegan Passalacqua makes amazing wines. Clean, crisp, and complex from the second it hits your nose to the long moment it takes gliding down your throat. Acid and body and flavor to write home about. So so glad I've got three more of these gems. Will they age? Are the Blue Angels noisy? 12.6% abv — 10 years ago

Monopole Rioja Blanco Viura 2015

Pale yellow. Pretty noisy aromas of lines, melons and grass screaming their way out of this liquid. In the mouth the profile goes more for lemon, grapefruit and peaches. The finish brings back the limes and melons. Light and crisp and packed with asskicking acidity. — 9 years ago

Starting the Wednesday night ritual (lol could be any night ritual) - ok this baby is a 100% cab - smell is full fruits and vanilla - first taste is impressive - tannins are releasing and mild - taste bursting with dark fruits - blackberries and I think cherries - taste lingers when I swallow - all smiles here - going to a great night I think — 9 years ago

Bodegas Peñafiel

Reserva Miros de Ribera Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2009

The 2009 vintage is 100% Tempranillo and 14%ABV. From Ribera del Duero DO and vinified Crianza style with 15 months bottle aging subsequent to 1.5 years in French Oak barrels. This wine is elegant and integrated at only 7 years since fruit cultivation. This wine is rich and luscious with deep red fruit of cherry and red berry, baking spice, olive brine, and a hint of fresh cut spruce tips. This wine would be a perfect accompaniment for a Canadian Christmas tree ritual or a festive holiday evening dinner party with braised beef AAA pot roast or rack of lamb and braised root vegetables. With well balanced fruit, medium acidity and medium tannins this wine brings complex aromatics as well as refined mouthfeel of finesse to a structured backbone and elegant minerality. With persistence of briny green olives, deep ripe red berry and spice, this wine has a long finish which keeps giving back. Giving a festive Canadian twist, recommend pairing with Schwartz Montreal Smoked Meat brisket and Kosher pickles. — 10 years ago
