Strange Family Vineyards

Pheasant's Tears

Rkatsiteli

Freaky OG Orange wine from Georgia. My wife - who can hang with all kinds of weird - cannot stand it. Strange herbs, zero fruit. Yet totally chill and drinkable! — 8 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

I've had a lot of bottles of Lopez de Heredia and for some strange reason this inexpensive Cubillo from a weak vintage might be my favorite. Maybe it was the state of my palate that night, or the setting or the food. But to me, this bottle was really about the wondrous unpredictability of wine, and the importance of a good winemaker, especially when conditions are not ideal. (From September 2012) — 9 years ago

"Le Souvenir" Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

Is in a weird phase from having just tried it a few months ago...rich apple fruit has given way to tart citrus, and showing more vanilla than before...strange? — 10 years ago

Domaine de Saint Pierre

Arbois Melon à Queue Rouge 2011

So fun and strange!!! Rich with interesting aromas of burnt wood and fresh oyster mushrooms. Lean acidity with salt on the finish. — 8 years ago

Van Volxem

Scharzhofberger Pergentsknopp Riesling 2001

Caramel and butterscotch upon opening. Residual sugar makes this slightly flabby. Lacking freshness, Riesling typicity and vineyard characteristics at the moment.
After a few hours the wine is finding its balance. Even more so on the next day, it's becoming less heavyhanded. Peach, apricot, some citrus appear. So, much better on day 2... Strange huh?

Les Cazetiers Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Rather strange, although still pretty great. A lot of oak, smoke and dark cherry. Almost feels American. — 10 years ago

Frank Cornelissen

Contadino Terre Siciliane Rosso Red Blend

Strawberry compote, mixed berry yogurt nose, volcanic ashiness, great acidity and lovely tannins. Decadently strange, like Blue Velvet — 10 years ago

Domaine Guion

Cuvée Prestige Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2010

2010. Weird texture!! All brett and earth in the aroma, great red fruit with a strange mid-finish transition that follows with a burst of acid, then a lengthy finish of earth. Cool! — 11 years ago

Château Saint-Pierre

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Serafin Père et Fils

Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2008

9.4

Hits well above its weight. Lots of purity of fruit (all red), which is just starting to get slightly desiccated around the edges. Lots of porcini powder and meaty elements which I think are Brett-derivative. None of the thinness usually associated with the vintage either. Little to no wood-influence, and if it's there, deftly integrated. Strange we don't see more of these wines on lists or in stores if this is generally indicative of the domain's quality. — 9 years ago

It is indicative of Serafin's quality, IMO. An address that's overlooked as everyone is fixated on the same handful of producers.

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Very interesting nose. French barnyard smell, tough to describe. Capsicum - red fruits. Colour more earthy then 86. Leathery, showing some secondary characters. Long polished finish. Flavours carry on but I actually thought this was older then the 86. Strange? 94-95 points. — 9 years ago
