Forge Cellars is an intriguing collaboration between Louis Barruol, proprietor of St. Cosme in Gigondas, wine grower Rick Rainey, and vintner Justin Boyette. Their 2014 'Classique' Pinot Noir is fine-boned and poised with floral, woodsy aromatics of decaying rose petals, hibiscus, underbrush, and sous. It's translucent quinacridone violet with lean, elegant curves underpinned by high-toned red berries, rose hips and crushed stone that tapirs to a lingering finish. 12.3% ABV | Sample — 9 years ago

Small initial soft aroma of rick dark fruit. Dark red bubbles. Huge burst of rich dry tannins in the middle than fades beautifully. Coats your mouth with velvet smoothness of non sweet raspberries. — 11 years ago

Highly perfumed. Reminiscint of a Spice Drawer. Medium to light bodied - more like a Pinot than a Shiraz regarding weight and texture. Savoury salty minerally plums on palate. Anyone who thinks Australia only makes blockbuster Shiraz should try this. Made by Rick Kinzbrunner, better known for his brilliant Chardonnays but this is different and moreish. Bravo. — 8 years ago

2006 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne Romanee Burgundy. Drank w Rick and K at Providence. Beautiful wine that had nice strawberry and cherry notes with some earthier smoke- like noses. Interesting. Great to sip and drink with lighter dishes and before the 1999 Soldera. Really enjoyed this wine all around! — 10 years ago

1999 Case Bassi Di Gianfranco Soldera Riserva Brunello Nebbiolo. Drank w Rick and K on double date at Prov.Wine was great. Very rich and acidic- so different from the 2006 Vosne Romanee. We saved this one for the meat course and it was perfect. Thumbs up all around. — 10 years ago
