Waving goodbye to this Napa queen. On the way out but is it?? Unique, treasure! Nose of mahogany, baked red fruit, menthol, anise, sweetbreads, muted cassis. Balanced, subtle sweetness, soft, integrated tannins. Near perfect palette. Citric gripping finish of medium to long length. Really, really cool vintage Napa. An honor to have this 29. With every sip the rating goes up. — 11 years ago
2009 - Never thought I'd find a sparkling Shiraz that I locked but here it is! Ripe black fruit on the nose. Refreshing palate with a dainty red & black fruit lift. — 12 years ago
Devine. I know when I was a Queen in my past life I had it on my table. Expensive, but so worth it. — 13 years ago
This is such a solid beer. Runs the gamut of the taste experience and has on hell of a right hook. The Queen of summer bbq beers. See what I did there? — 11 years ago
Fidèle Extra Brut Champagne offers up gorgeous leesy-yeasty notes: pastry dough, toasted almonds and hazelnuts, poached pear and spiced applesauce simmering away on the stove. Golden-hued, it reminds me of Autumn, with cozy apple galette and pear tart notes, brioche and custard are well-incorporated into this Champagne's soft texture and medium acidity. Finishes with a sort of dried fall leaves and red berries, or even a Queen Anne's cherries sort of thing. I approve! Disgorged 02.10.12 — 11 years ago
Continuing with my exploration of rosé wines, is this charming not so pink from Château de Trinquevedel, a cranberry-hued blend of 56% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% Clairette, 4% Syrah, 4% Bourboulenc, 3% Mourvedre and 3% Brenache blanc. Enchanting aromas of linen and dried cherries lead into a wine that displays tons of rhubarb and spice, followed by Queen Anne’s Cherries, blood oranges, and watermelon rind with subtle earthiness and smoke on the finish. Always a favorite from Kermit Lynch. 13.5% ABV — 11 years ago
Delicious. First sip delivers and keeps on growing as you give it time. All that you would expect from the queen of pinot. — 11 years ago
