Sauvignon Blanc II Trocken 2016

This stuff is great. A little bit of everything. Some grassiness, some fruit, some minerality. Great acid. Delicious. $25 at Solano Cellars. — 6 years ago

Tannat

Balanced. Nice tannins. Full and rich. A top valley wine. Berry, berry good. A great plummy and cherry infused element. Robust but tastes yummy. — 9 years ago

Considering this is only 20 bucks, this bottle is awesome. Nice subtle notes of mint, a true definition of the terroir where it comes from. — 10 years ago

Prospect 772

The Brawler Calaveras County Syrah Viognier 2016

Pre-release party in alameda. All the 2016s.

My rankings:
1) brawler- 94 (2nd biggest wine)
2) black tie - 93 (1st biggest wine)
3) instigator - 93 (3rd biggest wine- more elegant than previous vintages. While it used to be all solano county syrah, it is now blended with a lodi vineyard)
4) truant - 92-93 - solid gsm
5) brat - gs that i need to try again. The oak was coming off a little strong on the small taste i had.

Hear the shake ridge syrah in barrel is midnight black in color and going to be a rockstar. Looking forward to seeing what he does with that vineyard.

@Shay A ive for sure gotten meaty and savory on the brawler/instigator in previous vintages. I only had small tastes of the 2016s but they are more primary fruit at this stage. I would recommend the brawler right now because i need to retry the instigator with a full glass as it’s a new vineyard blend.

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum consistent as always. All great values. I have 2 cases sitting in front of me. When the shake ridge comes out, it will be a little pricier but that’s because of the fruit cost. My girlfriend actually prefers the brawler to the myriad georges iii. She gives the brawler 95 and myriad 94.

Solano County Green Valley Wirth Ranch Zinfandel 2008

Very tasty now, but for me, needs more time. Would love to revisit in 5 years. I'm loving the gnarliness factor, and fruity red fruit notes. Super concentrated. Wow! Rich deep blood red berries with a solid core of pitch black gnarliness, and screaming finish. Will try to review tomorrow, on the 2nd day. — 10 years ago
