Earthquake Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Deep violet glass with translucent red violet rim. Big deep nose of cassis, licorice, blackberry, black cherry, black plum, raspberry, strawberry, tobacco, licorice, leather, cedar and a hint of vanilla. Velvety smooth full body palate of a slightly sweet cocoa, cassis, the black fruits, coffee, and black pepper. Soft chalky tannins lead to a pleasing slightly dry long finish of leather, toffee and black pepper. Decant for a while to open aromas. Excellent balance and structure make this a very good value at 23.99 USD. — 9 years ago

The first time I had this wine I actually threw up, and although I was recovering from sun poisoning, I believe it was the moving legs that upset my stomach. It's a very strange feeling to have things moving around in your esophagus after you drink it. Would not recommend this wine due to the moving legs.

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2007

Finally on the balcony...

I know I love this wine, so I should exercise patience. On open, it's crystal clean, ruby to pink to clear rim. Nose is evolving from initial raspberry and vanilla to mild petroleum and veggies. What I need patience with is the middle and end. Quite tart and the pucker carries through to the finish. Will update...

So the acidity balanced by about 20%. This makes this a good choice with a rib eye, but I max out at 92 points on this.

I think the ‘97 is in the optimum drinking window right now and you can source it for the same price as the ‘07

Piedrasassi

Rim Rock Syrah 2012

Sour cherries, frozen Welch's Framboise, berry pie, pie crust, thyme, sage, this wine evolved and morphed very quickly, very complex. The wild yeast comes through on the nose. Light alcohol and light body, but still very well extracted and viscous for under 14%. — 9 years ago

Dobbes Family Estate

Crater View Vineyard Grenache Blanc 2014

Had the 2013 a while back, and I gotta say the 2014 is slammin'. Well balanced, quenchy, stone fruity, zesty. The force is strong for GB in Oregon. — 10 years ago

Petite Petit Lodi Petite Sirah Petit Verdot

Now this is a great wine. Dark in color, almost black with a purple rim.
Magnificent nose with blueberries, figs, plums, and herbs.
Sweet candies on the palate with blueberries, cranberry, dried figs, raisins, peppercorn.
Big, bold and beautiful with gorgeous legs.
Smooth and sexy long finish with bold tannins and ripen fruits.
Great right out of the bottle. After 2 hours in the decanter, chewy tannins on the finish. This is not my first, and definitely not my last. Very consistent from year to year.
