@Plate & Bottle Dinner
Dessert Course, Warm Berry Cobbler, House Made Vanilla, Lemon Verbena Ice Cream.
Amazing dessert. Pairing the cobbler with the Ruinart Rosé and the Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve as well. Both good/appropriate for the dual aspects of the cobbler.
Dessert has blackberries and raspberries with lemon and crumble on top (tiny bit of cinnamon) and vanilla lemon verbena ice cream. There are flavors here that call for Rosé & Blanc de Blanc Champange.

Vibrant, expressive, feminine. Superior biodynamic quality of fruit, not masked by oak. — 8 years ago
This was a bottle the previous renters left at my parents house in the wine fridge. Unknown storage but it’s in pretty good shape. Nose has rose pedal, brambly fruit. Palette tart cran. Serious smooth tannin and acidity but pleasant. Undercurrents of bittersweet chocolate and leather. — 5 years ago
A very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.
Bone dry on the palate, and full bodied with medium acidity.
Needs time to open up properly.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

My current FAVORITE table red. Fruity with adequate tannins and excellent finish. Pairs with everything from steaks to Italian. — 7 years ago
I usually tend toward Pinot Noir, but when I want something just a bit bolder, Gamay hits the spot. I have really been enjoying this 2015 vintage. — 7 years ago

Yummy as it opened up over four hours. Good particularly for a seven year old Napa Pinot. Spring Mt. — 6 years ago
Dark ruby in color with a short brick rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, sweet plums, sweet cherries, vanilla, light wood, spices, dirt, vinaigrette, chocolates, coffee, alcohol, graphite and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, cherries, sweet strawberries, earth, vanilla, light oak, coffee, pencil lead, river rocks, spices and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with tangy cranberries and very soft tannins.
This great 8 year old Bordeaux Blend from Chile is still drinking nicely. Showing nice complexity with a soft and smooth mouthfeel and a tangy ending that makes it interesting.
Was probably better a couple of years ago, but now it is more interesting. Good by itself or with food.
Needs an hour in the decanter to open up properly and remove some of the acidity.
A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Carignan, 5% Syrah and 3% Carmenere. Aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
