On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 4), HK GRUBER (Aerial, Concerto for trumpet and orchestra) with the amazing Håkan Hardenberger as the trumpet soloist and then STRAUSS (“Dance of the Seven Veils” from Salome). Andris and Håkan happen to be friends, and both are trumpet players, I expect to see some playful nature to their interaction this afternoon. Mr. Hardenberger is a world renowned and virtuousic player, we're always glad to hear him, this will be his 4th Tanglewood appearance in 5 years. We expect various mutes to be employed over the work, a cow horn (yes it is want you think) and then finishing with piccolo trumpet, exciting to have a soloist work multiple instruments over his appearance!
Nose has green apple peel, dry seashell, cold quince, cut lemongrass and faint green herbals.
Palate has floral/ripe pear, yellow apple, green apple, fresh lemon rind and light sweetness on a medium-long finish. Fun bottle for a warm afternoon!
Off dry blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Valvin Muscat, a new offering for 2019, believe only available to the Wine Club or direct purchase at the winery. — 6 years ago

Nose has strawberry-banana smoothie, light crushed red raspberry and freshly washed cherry.
Palate has red currant, red raspberry, slight grassy note and faint wet sandstone.
Exciting to get back to this bottle. Our last experience was directly off tank (Fall '18) which was tapped by Morten for us, very cloudy then, but flavors were beginning to come together. 100% Pinot Noir. — 6 years ago

This 4 year old Petit Verdot from Israel is drinking very nicely now. Big and bold with medium acidity.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with black fruits, wood, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, tobacco, peppercorn, cloves, pencil lead, dark coffee and dark chocolates.
Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Well balanced and good by itself or with food.
Would be very nice to pair it with a nice juicy burger and fries. I had it all by itself.
100% Petit verdot grapes were aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels. Kosher.
14.3% alcohol by volume.

Damp leather and dust on nose. Classic syrah open with bright dark fruit, a touch more oak than I like and almost refined tannins. Nice and long but finish gets a bit harsh. Would be hard to tell it's not from France. Thank you Yuval Barak — 8 years ago
