Sonoma Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

9.3

Perfect wine for my sister's 23rd. Medium to dark garnet red with lighter edges. Interesting nose with leather, mushrooms, more savory notes, a little smoky and only a touch of fruit. Some forest floor as well. Well integrated flavors and tannins (6/10). Layered with tertiary notes, dried cherries, dried twigs and solid earthiness. Solid acidity, holding this wine together. Delicious at 23 years old. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2020. — 9 years ago

Château Saint-Antoine

Réserve du Château Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Pleasing but tight red fruit on the nose, cherry and cranberry most notably, told me that this should be a wine that I should be drinking some time in the next 5 years. But my sister's birthday was reason enough to crack this open and pair with coq au vin. — 10 years ago

Chapel Down

Flint Dry White Blend 2016

Served at a drinks party at my mother's house ahead of my sister's wedding. With limited experience of English wine, I was pleasantly surprised by this clean, crisp white. — 9 years ago

Wild Ferment Niagara Escarpment Pinot Noir 2010

This was THE find of me and my sister's quick trip in the Niagara Escarpment in Western NY. Went over well with everyone at the company party. Controlled red cherry and hints of currant. Structured and delicious. Hints of Old World Pinot Noir! #nydrinksny #nyswine — 10 years ago

Dandelion Vineyards

Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz 2014

Wow! This is tremendous value for $15! The awards at the top of the bottle are clearly earned.

I have been a fan of Elaina Brooks and her winemaking since I had tried her Sister's Run some years ago.

Very supple and evolving throughout the evening. Pop and poured with earthy dark fruits on the nose. A pleasant balance between acidity and blueberry with some black pepper to boot. This then evolved into a much more fruit forward cuvée later on. A pleasant finish and moderate tannins to balance it out. Certainly worth seeking out

@TheSkip The gold medals remind me of my days in Australia and drinking / visiting Rosemont. Used to drink a lot of their wines; great value wines and consistent quality. Been too long... maybe I need to find a bottle of Rosemont GSM...

I couldn't afford more than $8 a bottle tho!

Grochau Cellars

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2012

This winery moved into the old Brooks location--they were closed, but let us and my sister's family picnic there. On her way out, an employee gave us the remainder of the bottle after the tasting day. It is amazing and the generosity of the employee will bring us back soon! — 10 years ago
