Reserve Sparkling Blend 2008

What an incredible second day here in Napa. Jesus started us off with an amazing tasting at Davies/Schramsberg, Crocker & Starr gave us our cab franc fix, Montagu & Addax put on a double tasting, and Hourglass knocked it out of the park at the end of the day! I won’t post each wine we tasted, but I’ll highlight the best from each spot.

@jesus g was a killer host. He opened up some older sparklers to compare against new releases as well as poured some very impressive JDavies reds, including the Diamond Mtn Cab. This JSchram Reserve ‘08 though was on a different level. Honeyed almond, apricot, lemon curd. Texture and acidity were seductive at 10yrs old. Happy to have one tucked away for the foreseeable future. Legit, @jesus g !

This was my contribution to the happy hour. Having never had it, it was recommended by one of the employees at Wine Watch and they hit it out of the park. Absolutely gorgeous. Amazing fruit, long finish, great complexity and left me wanting more. — 9 years ago

Broc Cellars

Mendocino Counoise

Our second wine from urban winery Broc Cellars in Berkeley. Counoise is an obscure blending grape from the Southern Rhone. A bit of a cypher showing ripe and underripe fruit like tart cranberry and sweet cherry. Sweet soil character with a hint of ancho chile and vanilla. — 10 years ago

Scholium Project

Babylon Tenbrink Vineyards Petite Sirah 2005

Another view of the potential future urban winery site for Scholium Project in LA. Don’t let the graffiti fool you, as a world class restaurant is building a home across the street. As for the wine, I prefer Abe’s Syrahs to the Petits. This was also consumed en Solo Cup, and the Babylon has typically been a bit too ripe for me. — 8 years ago

9.4

Vintage after vintage Arnot-Roberts hits it out of the park. Closest thing to Northern Rhône you'll find outside of France, which makes its low $30s price quite the bargain. The 2013 is ready drinking well, but certainly has the acid and structure to last for a decade or more. — 10 years ago
