Baron Cooper Wines

Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2015

Smells like fresh spear morello cherry and raspberry preserves with rhubarb pie filling with a hint of baking spices. Sweet fruit forward juicy goodness with pie crust blended into a drunken smoothie. Freeze and serve as the bonus adult flavor in a pack of Otter Pops—because moms need a go-to popsicle, too. — 6 years ago

Sparrow Estate Viognier 2016

With so many young wines, it’s all about the fruit or acidity. Not with this vintage. This is the complete package. A great compliment to the grilled brazino at Shaker + Spear in Seattle. — 7 years ago

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010

Like a spear! Tremendous balance and grace. Even better for being on sale at a random liquor store in Tx. More like his meursault than I expected. — 10 years ago

Perfect with the Bresse chicken and Morels. While reductive, this is super fresh and electric.

Bedrock Wine Co.

Old Vine Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 2012

This starts out with a tight knit nose of red fruit, mint, and a hint of woodsmoke. Later, aromas intensified into darker red fruit. Flavors offer up dark reds, licorice, spice, silky tannin, and a spear of acidity. Paired awesome with tonite's pizza. One more bottle left but will need more for sure. — 11 years ago

Ex Post Facto

Santa Barbara County Syrah 2016

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2016 Syrah is a very pretty wine from Greg Brewer's Ex Post Facto project. Racy and perfumed in the glass, with striking aromatic presence, the 2016 makes a strong opening statement. The red and purplish berry fruit is nicely lifted by floral and savory overtones from the whole clusters. It will be interesting to see where this wine goes in the future. Certainly the debut vintage is promising. Brewer gave the fruit, from Spear, 4-5 days of cold soak followed by a lengthy fermentation/maceration of 45 days or so. The 2016 spent 16 months in neutral French oak. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018) — 6 years ago
