Petite Sirah 2006

Dark Inky in color with a deep purple rim. This Petite Syrah is not showing age at all.

Fruity nose with oak, cola, vanilla, licorice, cherries, blackberries, figs, alcohol, raisins, peppercorn, leather, spices, mint, coffee chocolates and smoke.

Full-bodied and bold, yet elegant and smooth, with medium plus acidity and gorgeous legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate, with blackberries, figs, cooked plums, sweet cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, light cloves, coffee, bitter herbs, light vegetables and lots of peppercorn.

Long finish with firm and round tannins, and black pepper.

This 10 year old Petite Sirah, is very fruit forward and complex, with many layers, and nicely balanced. Needs three hours to fully open up.

Would probably be just as good in the next three years. Good by itself and would definitely be awesome with a big piece of steak on the grill.

I paired it with light appetizers and Cheeses, and with some nice weather by the pool.

100% Petite Sirah. 63% from Lake County and 37% from Napa Valley.

15.5 % alcohol by volume.

Oxidative leesy or umami leesy?

Casè Riva del Ciliegi Emilia Pinot Nero

Tons of funk and brooding fruit. That paired well with mozzarella sticks and left over ribeye sandwich. You’ll either love it or hate it. — 7 years ago

Solideo di Salviano Lago di Corbara Super Tuscan Blend

Nice wine for $13. A little more age would probably make this a 9.0. A couple days in the fridge made it better — 9 years ago

Tempesta Red Blend 2012

Excellent wine. Needs to open up a bit, but this is a bold red blend with an extraordinary burst of flavor. My rating will undoubtedly improve in 6 months or do when Jen and I enjoy this wine at home. — 11 years ago

Wild strawberry, bright cherry and tons of minerals. A touch out of balance with the abv. This needs time to coalesce. But not long. — 12 years ago

Lago Ranco Riesling 2017

Lago Ranco Riesling 2017
Young with lots of primary aromas of green fruit (apple, lime) and a slight peach aroma.
Mix in a wiff of plastic (think clare valley) some sea salty-minerality a crisp, young acidity dosed with a very slight sweetness makes this an excellent companion to food (anyone for ceviche?).
Very young, but still enjoyable now.

Cuvée Sasha - Monte Lago Vineyard 2012

Yum! This is the 4th bottle of this wine I have purchased. It's my couch sitting go to, smooth and a little complex. This is a red I would suggest to a Pinot lover looking for something a little more deep and complex. — 12 years ago
