Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Just a beautiful #pomerol with elegant black currant aromas, velvety tannins and a faint echo of spice. This 2014 is a great representation of the region taken up a notch above very good.

Tongue in Groove

Cabal Vineyard North Canterbury Pinot Noir 2014

This was ridiculously good. Had it with our Chinese New Year dinner of chicken, duck, seafood, etc and it went well with everything. Full bodied, well integrated, just really rich and wonderful. Might be the best NZ wine I've ever had. — 7 years ago

Domaine Vincent Paris

Granit 30 Cornas Syrah 2013

Alot of bright acidity here balanced with the signature earthy chewy Northern Rhone thing. Top notch for me. — 8 years ago

"Les Herbeux" Bourgogne Chardonnay 2011

top notch bourgogne blanc from a vineyard that, if not for some technicality, may have been Meursault. scintillating play between incisive, citrusy acidity and subtly toasted hazelnut. lots of lime fruit on the palate. #bourgogneblanc #burgundy #meursault — 9 years ago

Love Flowers. Big fan

Figgins

Estate Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Big yet restrained, as much earth and mineral as dark fruit, long finish. Well structured wine that will age with grace for next decade. Top notch. — 7 years ago

Sandhi Wines

Bent Rock Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2014

THE. BEST. DOMESTIC. CHARD!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away. This is the best domestic chard I've ever drank. This particular vintage is killer. I could poor this in a lineup of top notch Meursault and none would be the wiser, that's how good this is. Intense smoke/funk brought on by minerality that most domestic producers could only dream of. A legendary wine in my book. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 7 years ago

Nine Hats Columbia Valley Syrah 2013

This is a solid Syrah that reaches above its price point by a notch. Big fruit and leather on the nose, juicy blackberries and bacon fat notes on the pallet. Lingers well, and great grip on the tongue. Yum! — 8 years ago

Bogle Vineyards

Phantom California Red Blend

Petite Syrah and Zin hybrid sort of tasted like a hearty Cab Franc to me at first, then morphed into a Weekapaug Groove of smoothness, for a mass produced kind of thing, tastes expensive. 4 1/4 out 6 Jeffersons. — 10 years ago
