Big baller bottles for my SD birthday! SQN Sunday included mags of Labels and Pictures. Labels was in the zone and easily WOTN. — 4 years ago

Holy moly, where did this one come from!? This had the nose of full throttle drunken elderberries and freshly baked blackberry pie with pepper and spice and everything nice! This tastes like whole cluster Grenache If there really is such a thing. Black and blue, pepper and spice, black cherry cola, mouth coating, inky. Dissecting out all of the notes that were swirling around, it would take me probably an hour, and everyone would be bored and probably stop reading. This was massive. And has probably a couple of decades left! — 5 years ago

I believe I’ve had this before and dismissed it, but this bottle surprised me with a balanced savory note and hid its abv well. Gotta keep it 💯. — 10 months ago

A couple of wines to celebrate our anniversary.

The nose alone was intoxicating. Dark plush berries abound. Gave it about 3 hours of air. It was ready to go. — 4 years ago

The 2nd WNH Zoom tasting on 3/29 with a “open any white” theme. The On The Lam is eleven years old and is reminiscent of the Backwards and Forwards at this point in its development. I had a Backwards & Forwards in 2017 that had a ridiculously delicious array of secondary characteristics that were just outstanding in their funky goodness. This bottle reminds me more of that wine at age 10. It has transformed from youthful to mature but displays no adolescent awkwardness. Honeyed melon, marzipan, candied pear and burnt marshmallow envelop a firm backbone of acidity. It’s adding weight but ever so slowly. Right now it’s still lithe and pushy and a changeling in the glass that warrants frequent check ins because a night of drinking will deliver 4 or 5 different wines for your drinking pleasure. — 4 years ago

Full bodied, wood still not integrated almost Californian in style. Way too early. Would never have identified this as a meursault blind. — 5 years ago

Dense boysenberry in color: nose of blackcurrant, spice and a little licorice; lovely texture of fully ripe fruit that’s bright with just enough supporting tannin. SQN always so solid. — 2 years ago

Voluptuous, the Syrah is blended with some Grenache and vigonier to round it. Keeps on strengthening in waves, almost oily. Super long burn this is a wine to enjoy in super small gulps. Truely amazing. — 5 years ago
