Nine Hats Columbia Valley Red Blend

This was an evening out in Raleigh while in town for a wedding. We had a glass of the Nine Hats Red Blend. Medium purple with a nose of blackberry jam, strawberries, vanilla, and a slight hint of sweet tobacco. Very much a fruit forward wine on the palate. Full bodied, this is a crowd pleaser. We had this by the glass at Vita Vite in Raleigh, NC. At $20 a bottle this is a great value. — 5 years ago

Sounds good, @Mike R Looking forward to connecting the next time I’m in town. I come to Raleigh 4-5 times a year. It was a busy, quick weekend. Friday - business meeting, rehearsal dinner, and high-school class reunion. Saturday - dinner with family and snuck away for a glass with the wife later that night. Sunday - wedding day. Back to Kentucky today. Taylor was a nice guy. Never knew about his wine shop just down the road from my folks house.

Firebird Estate Grown Chardonnay 2014

A surprise packet from a label new to me bought from a Company tasting at the Downs Club. Impressive Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills - shouldn’t have been surprised being the home of some other smart Chardonnays like Shaw and Smith. Intensity + without weight. Perfectly balanced fruit and oak. Easy to drink. — 7 years ago

Ett nytt försök på godellos toppskikt. Tämligen unikt vin men den vuxen smakprofil. Blöta stenar, gröna äppelskal, kardemumma, lime, skalad mandel, vita blommor, kex m.m. Symfoniskt och knivskarp. — 6 years ago

La Vita Red Blend 1998

Here is an interesting red blend for my #AgedWineTuesday series.

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

On the nose cherries, blueberries, light oak, light spices, black pepper, pencil lead, tobacco leaf, wet leaves, cola, earth and leather.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, tobacco, light oak, coffee, dark chocolates, coke, earth, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Medium finish with firm tannins and tangy pomegranates.

This unique blend from California is still drinking nicely. What a nice surprise, i did not expect it to be so alive by now.

Needs an hour of air time for the tannins to show up, and bring nice structure.

This 22 year old has seen better days, but still very enjoyable. Always nice to try a small piece of history. Must have been kept very well in the last 20 years.

Thank you Paul for sharing this.

I paired it with cheeses and olives.

A blend of 34% Nebbiolo, 32% Dolcetto and 34% Refosco.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

89 points.
