Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1988
Compared to the 1988 Lafite I had a few years ago (green and lean), this was a total knockout! Mouton being on the slightly bigger side of the spectrum, I think the ‘88 vintage benefited their style. Fruit is so vibrant. Deep red in the glass. Soft red berries, black cherries, mix of old red and black currant. Very floral…violets, roses, potpourri. Sweet herbs and leather. Nimble. What an experience, and one I hope to experience again! You have my deepest gratitude, @Mike R !
Also, how fun was it to compare this versus the 1986 @Shawn R brought! That bottle was an absolute smoke show, and totally in the zone! Main difference between the 1986 and the 1988 was a deeper, more rich profile with the 1986, as expected. But I still can’t get over how good that 1988 was!
Jasper Hill
Georgia's Paddock Shiraz 2013
Currant and perfume on the nose with some vanilla and subtle saline minerality. Full bodied dark fruits, velvet on the tongue, great mouthfeel. Tight, moderately tannic, then a smooth prolonged finish.

The Fifty Niagara Peninsula Chardonnay 2016
A nice Niagara Chardonnay. Quite full, but not overly rich if that makes sense. You get a bit of sensation from the barrel fermentation but there is no apparent oak, just body. Good acid but one smidge less cohesive on the finish than I’d like. Still nice. — 6 years ago

Jasper Hill
Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc 2003
Mid crimson in colour. Tarry savoury berry aromas. On the palate medium to full bodied with earth tar and liquorice ~ typical of mature Heathcote. Tannins resolved. The 15.5%ABV largely hidden. Amazing intensity and flavour considering its age - powerful in fact - also some sweetness. Jasper Hill largely contributed to putting Heathcote on the map. — 6 years ago

Niagara Peninsula Merlot 2018
I had the Vin Nature version of this wine, 2018 Twenty Mile Bench.
Quite frankly exceptional, no additives,natural ferment and neutral barrels, unfiltered and unfined. Just a perfect expression of this varietal. — 5 years ago

Perfect Set Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2015
Simple and straight forward Sta. Rita Hills. This was a interesting vintage, early harvest and small yields. Giving nice fruits but very light palate texture and finish. — 6 years ago

I couldn’t pass up picking up a bottle of the “Sideways” 20th anniversary bottling of Hitching Post’s Highliner. Aside from the movie recognition, it’s a damn good Pinot, though a bit heavier in style than others. Vivid, fresh flavors of cranberry and cherry with a bit of spice. Delicious. Fruit sourced from three different vineyards in Santa Barbara County. 100% Pinot Noir. 4/28/25. — 8 months ago
