High-altitude Sierra foothills Syrah from Bill Easton. Cassis and currant forward with savory tones and tannins that could use a few more years to resolve. Excellent with an outrageous clove-studded, blood orange-glazed Christmas ham. — 10 years ago

Barbera 2011

2011 vintage goes well with lamb/salad. Mild pepper- mild enjoyable spice, hint of cherry cola for Igor and blackberries for me. More silky/leather than you'd expect from a Barbera. Overall - very nice, aromatic and pleasant. — 10 years ago
