Black currant, cedar, tar, cigar box, coffee, vanilla. Quite a complex nose. The palate is very concentrated with a strong acid backbone, and some dark and dense matter with black currant and somehow dusty tannins that kick everything up. The finish is very long and very wide with some bitterness popping up, black currant, and a pinch of salt. We paired this baby with a gigantic beef T-bone. Perfect pairing. It's still very young and needs time. Not a 9 because it's still too young — 5 years ago

Texas wines have grown. This is an outstanding blend of Grenache Syrah and Mourvèdre from Salt Lick Vineyard. This is a complex wine with great structure and finesse. Great to see the Lone Star State wines mature and compete in the world stage. Visited the Fall Creek Vineyards. Well worth it can’t get it retail because of the limited production but can get it online. New release of the 2016 vintage. Excellent! — 6 years ago

Wednesday Wine Committee hosted by Dan. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Tasted blind as usual.

I guessed the producer was Marcassin. At the end of the day, Marcassin is just so distinct when compared to other Cali chards, and it’s always magnificent (for my taste). Smoked lemon, grilled marshmallows, sea salt, popcorn kernel and almost sulfuric. Impeccable. — 5 years ago

Greywacke is Kevin Judd's present label, after serving as winemaker at Cloudy Bay and propelling the winery to global acclaim. The name Greywacke refers to a type of river stones found throughout New Zealand. At Greywacke, Judd proves to still be a master of Sauvignon Blanc, and his "Wild Sauvignon" is no excpetion. This is the apex of what oak-fermented New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc can be - one doesn’t lose the untethered audacity of its varietal character. Tactile and lengthy, it tastes of sesame seeds, grapefruit, thyme, parsley, green apple skin, and sea salt. Palate coating, but still feral and daring. — 6 years ago

Syrah-like. Very spice driven. Violets, allspice and pepper on the nose. Curry, salt and white pepper on the finish. Surprising wine. — 9 years ago

Perfumed purple flowers, dried herbs, salt and smoke(!) aromas lead into Bing & black cherry, ripe raspberry, red & just ripe black plum, all framed by salty minerals, acidity could be a bit higher, but super-fine tannins make up the space. — 10 years ago

Wow - best wine to pass my lips with a CA appellation in some time. Way more Tavel than Pinot Noir rosé. Rich and textured. Tangerine, white peach, celery salt, rhubarb, cotton candy and just a hint of that bubblegum that PN rosés always seem to have. — 5 years ago

My go to rose. Reminds me of my birthday during the spring! Vibrant, joyful and fresh- the nose brings a delicate floral note and strawberries. The palate has lime zest, candied/salt dipped strawberries, ripe raspberries and cherry blossoms. Very balanced and tastes structured for such a young wine. If I was stranded on an island with one wine for the rest of my life this might be it. — 6 years ago

Preserved lemon, sea salt, rocks and screaming acid. A lot of complexity in a very defined wine. Almost has a tannic grip to it. Wondering what RS there might be to balance this acid. — 8 years ago
