Ravishing Raven

Sine Qua Non

Raven Series No. 1 Grenache 2006

Needed a longer decant but wonderful. Dad was skeptical “Grenache - what’s that?”. You have had it before dad, it’s good. Skeptical/irritated look. Ok, very little. Converted. Back three times for “just a little/ah might as well/yeah finish it off”. Kept it at his end of the table. — 6 years ago

La Spinetta

Il Rosé di Casanova Prugnolo Gentile - Sangiovese Rosé Blend

‪ravishing rosé ✨ alert: I included this $13 ‘17 #LaSpinetta Il Rose di Casanova in an event I did in Westchester last night, and true to its name, it sent hearts racing ❤️ . Refreshing but uncommonly flavorful (cherry, peach, maybe some orange peel), with zippy tang and a long, lovely finish. Bonus: the label features the majestic rhinoceros 🦏 etched by genius artist Albrecht Dürer in the sixteenth century. If I had a summer house, this #wine would be stocked like soda. 🥤 ‬

Domaine du Clos de Tart

Monopole Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1945

The bouquet was dazzlingly aromatic, spices, cherries, cassis, earth and smoked game. A simply brilliant wine with supple, intensity, sweet and round, ebullient and yet still elegant. Gorgeously resolved cushioning tannins, lovely integrated acidity, mature red and black cherries past the mid palate, a silky spice confection and a floral mouth perfume as it finishes with still just superb length and depth. On this showing, this was such a spirited, distinguished yet time-defyingly ravishing wine. — 9 years ago

Durant Vineyards

Raven Dundee Hils Chardonnay 2013

Lemon verbena and minerality dominate the high tone nose. Playful and light across the palate, but has gorgeous depth to fill all the surfaces. A lingering and nuanced finish. Can’t wait to put my efforts into these vines. Thanks Isabelle for this vintage. — 6 years ago

Single Vineyard Estate Eden Valley Dry Riesling 2014

Blimey it’s limey, and oh so dry. 3 hours later, my lips are still puckered. No matter how much water I drink, my mouth is still dry as the desert. Oh musty oak, oh dark raven! — 7 years ago

Two Hands

Angels' Share McLaren Vale Shiraz 2004

Great Odin’s Raven! Every bottle of this high quality, yet entry level Two Hands Shiraz, gets better than the last!
No longer that familiar black-purple ink color, rather the bricking is now a fine garnet. I could smell this all day! Aromas of tar, creosote, black plum, stewed blackberries, and a high end of wildflowers. Tar, olive juice, dark fruits with a touch of citrus oil all wonderfully mixed. I certainly think the screwcap helped the longevity, but the balance of acidity and silken tannins did their parts well.

Raven Park

Victorian Shiraz 2016

Newly in love with Shiraz, I recently purchased a couple locally in our wine shop. This is smooth, soft to the nose and exactly the same to the pallet.
Very enjoyable!

Antonio can you enlighten me as to what constitutes a 10 wine in your expert opinion? I have an idea as to what I have in mind a 10 should be but can you let us know your rules? Thank you in advance.
