Dates back to the Crusades & Scottish navigator, George Smith, owner in 18th century, followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, then Louis Eschenauer, wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel & Florence Cathiard now own estate. A blend of 55% Cab Sauv, 40% Merlot, 4% Cab Franc, & 1% Petit Verdot. Dark red with dark berry fruit aromas, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate rich & complex ripe black fruit flavors, oak & cacao. Firm rich tannins, full, lingering, perfect balance. L-T aging. — 8 years ago

Decent bottle of champagne by Scottish New Year standards......not quite a gravelly mouth feel but super-brutish. Some toast, lemon and decent acidity.....definitely quaffable according to the old man, who claims not to be drinking but it is one ahead of me... — 9 years ago

Such an excellent wine! We enjoyed it immensely with Ken's day-after-birthday dinner of Scottish Trout with browned garlic butter, seared scallops, basil avocado rice, and creamed kale with carmelized mushrooms. Mmmmmmm. — 10 years ago

A claymore is a Scottish sword.. The Scots could not create this superstar.. It has nearly every thing Bacchus and I are looking for.. Silky flow, testing tastes, nice aroma and a friendly feeling.. Stunning with fish... I know I'm a Neanderthal .. But hey I don't adhere to the traditional rules.. — 9 years ago

The biodynamic Cava house Gramona remains a leader in the category with a portfolio that maximizes tradition and innovation. Where else in Catalonia can you taste a cryoextracted Xarello "ice" wine? III Lustros is a benchmark bottling for Spanish sparklers. Flavors of green olive skin, petrol, fresh pear, and white rose emerge from the fine, caressing mouse. Sensual yet sharp, it has a laser-like precision that is undeniably Cava. — 7 years ago

Mellows out with some water, but very smoky on the finish. My first foray into Scottish whisky — 8 years ago

SLH without too much explanation is a premier site for Pinot Noir and Chard. But like Napa/Sonoma and Santa Barbara the similar theme is we're finding more grape varietals to diversify ourselves because of how great our weather is and generally our love of many options. Roar is a local leader of quality wines, if you're looking for an SLH example of the good stuff.. here you go.

Went on a cool personal tour of some vineyards at the winery and tried some wine after. This is a newer vineyard for them, high elevation grown Viognier (10 years). Keep in mind this is a foggy climate versus most other Viognier climates. Rich peaches outweigh the honeydew melon fruit for an ideal balance of fruit I'd prefer. I think an edge to this wine is some minerality I usually find clouded from old world veen. Also out here we're in our 2nd or 3rd year in a row of very cold summers and cold spring/fall. It's really what I imagine Seattle to be because most days I just get overcast with my beach view😂 I look forward to a very warm SLH year; this will wake up the locals. — 8 years ago
