Scribe Outpost East Napa Valley Syrah

Baker Lane Vineyard(Field Guide 05), Bottle Numbers 1874 and 1879, Harvested 10/02/2014. Paired with a roast Alaskan Cod with Cannellini Beans and Castelvetrano olives, Roasted Broccoli, and Chocolate Gourmet Cannoli Cupcake. The food and wine complimented each, and the strong body of the wine brought out the hidden flavors and spices of the fish. Has a strong finish. Never ever adhere to old wives’ tale that only white goes with fish, as this meal clearly disapproves any notions. — 7 years ago

Another great Classic Wine Happy Hour in the books! Always a treat to have a designated day each month where guys can pull out some unique bottles!

Thanks
@Will Adams for opening this! Gorgeous juice. A nod to how Caymus used to operate. Velvet like. Blue and blackberries, vanilla, cocoa, espresso.

This one won the award for "oldest wine drinking like the newest wine." Plus, with it being served in a N*I*C*E decanter, it made it that much better! Thank you Benjamin for bringing out that beast!

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1992

Great cedar and cassis nose with a matching palate. Persistent without being boring. Earthiness coming out after an hour to balance chocolate covered berries. — 10 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 1984

Great story behind this vintage and fun wine to try. Madeira-like which helps balance out the va--but turning into a very interesting wine. — 11 years ago

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

This was poured through a Zazzol aerator and just spilled out Cassis, black olive, cigar box and vanilla/brown sugar from the glass. Should she well for another 8-10 years. Delicious! — 11 years ago

Castagna

Genesis Beechworth Syrah 2006

Subdued nose. Light, little mineral and crushed rocks, plummy and little savoury. Abit chalky and powdery. A bottle bought at the estate when speaking to julian c. Overall light and elegant but not overley complex — 7 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Dark ruby. Opaque. Notes of dark plums, cassis, rhubarb, tobacco. Has a green element to it. At first it’s very linear and one dimensional in the mouth but rounds out with air. Nice for the vintage. — 7 years ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

We were worried this was gonna be cooked. But actually ended up being wonderful, tannins and acid mellowed out, still super balanced, slightly pyrazinic (tomato vine?), still has some leather and black currant. — 8 years ago
