Soldier Creek Winery

Chalone Vineyard

Estate Grown Chalone Syrah Blend 2001

Old soldier has hung in there very admirably. Desiccated rose petal and Bing cherry. Dusted earth leads to initial sweetness of ripe black fruit and black tea mix with concentrated blackberry jam.
Finish lingers a long time. Clove and five spice with Amarone like sweetness.

Tobin James

Deep Purple Paso Robles Zinfandel 1995

Only 13.3 alc on the label but this old soldier initially showed desiccated - high ripeness grape aromas. Those blew off after about half an hour with more dried cherries, leather and smoke notes prevalent.
Initial sweet fruit assault leads plums and raisened cranberries. Earth and mushroom sweeps up the finish.

Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2013

Fallen soldier. Opened up the shop this morning to find this 13 Briords Mag shattered on the floor. Half the wine was left to be filtered and drunk. A baby still, piercing acid and concentration. A damn shame. — 10 years ago
