Nose of burnt honey, burnt caramel, burnt strawberry. Over ripe plum and peach.

Taste is a bright and clear peach. Like taking a bite of a ripe peach. Then falls into peach creme brulee. Long delicious finish — 6 years ago

Early tartness moving on to blackberries and dark damp old forest wood lingering taste after about a half hour. Will get another bottle for 2020!

An old gewurz-dominant field blend, that comes across especially perfumed and seemingly with a pinch of residual sugar. Simple yet abundantly interesting, and between the sweetness and nice acid backbone, this was a great partner to spicy curries. I enjoy Bedrock’s rendition more than Carlisle’s. — 6 years ago

First time I’ve thought “refreshing” when drinking Cab. Cool climate / old world style melded to a smidge of Cali fruit. — 8 years ago

Old school California Cab. Dark black fruit and herbal notes of eucalyptus and cedar. Balanced alcohol and body. Nice fruit but not over-ripe. Tannins dry the palate on the medium plus finish. Let this breath for 2 hours or age until 2020x — 10 years ago

Very red fruited, but still clearly Syrah. Beautiful, and a lovely sense of old world style with new world fruit. Stood out among many worthy wines as its own animal. — 11 years ago

Nose has mashed blackberry, ripe black current, ripe black cherry, wet saddle leather, horse barn, dried mint, fried green herbs, chopped bacon, muddy garden soil, constantly developing...

Palate has mahogany shavings, black cherry 🍒, dried garden soil, day old bacon bacon 🥓, over-ripe black currant, warm dark chocolate, (minor) baking spice with a very long and intense finish. This wine has at least a decade in front of it tonight. Perfect, supple cork on extraction.

Still quite tannic, decanted 4h, needs much more time to reveal it's true self.

My retailer commented this was not a standard CA Cabernet, more Bordeaux-like, and he was fully on point. The stink on the nose really pointed us away from CA right away.

Paired to some expertly grilled, medium-rare Delmonico steaks from my favorite, local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm), well salted (in advance). Finished with Maldon smoked sea salt, best which exists in the world, IMHO. Also roasted beets with goat feta from VT, where I can only image goats listen to Phish and eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream daily, because only a stress free life like that could yield cheese this good.

I'd like to know the blend on this, should anyone know, I can't believe it's 100% Cab based on the stinky nose, which we appreciate. — 6 years ago

1) Can’t believe I have not reviewed this wine yet. 2) Appears to have gone through a label change, from the leaf one I know and look for.

Dry Moscatel from Andalucia - Sierra de Malaga.

Clear pale lemon.

Graham cracker (old vine) on the nose, orange flower, honey. Very pretty.

Dry, Crisp clean and lemony, with same graham cracker, orange flower, and honey, with lime in the finish. Med+ body, Med finish.. 14% ABV

Very good, drink now.
I don’t drink a lot of muscat wines, but this is one I keep an eye out for. — 7 years ago

Bright solid ripe black...berry, raspberry, cherry, framed with peach yogurt and black pepper on the finish. Full bodied with very well integrated alcohol. A personal favorite vineyard of mine with 100+ year old@ vines Style sits between Ridge and St Francis if you are familiar with their bottlings. — 9 years ago

I'm not much into Spirits and those I like most are grape or other fruit based. I can appreciate great Scotland whiskey quality without enjoying it, but, I must admit to real enjoyment of this smooth, mellow, silky Irish whiskey. — 10 years ago
