Aged Yolo County Tannat. With a whimsical name. Dark color with a rusty edge. Smells a bit funky. Spike of berry liquor. Hint of wood chips. Flavors are very heavy on the black currant with a hint of plummy-ness. Might be a bit past perfection. Not as much as much tannin and funk as some Tannat, but has plenty of style. Drinks a bit like a French wine. Wonder who is using these grapes now that Rockwall is out of business? — a month ago

Best vintage I’ve tasted. More balanced and a lot smoother than 13,14,15. A bright wine in a very tragic fire year — 3 years ago

Fleshy, blueberry/blackberry, meaty, dark cocoa with some pie crust. Way too young of course but real enjoyable now. — 6 months ago

What is there to say? It’s Dom. This ‘09 is singing. Lemon peel, almonds, sherry, toast. It’s creamy and unctuous while still maintaining bright acidity and focused minerality. It’s expensive, but god damn it’s good. — a year ago

9.4

Straw gold, heavy in the glass. Spicey nose. Notes of apricot, citrus, petrol, tan spice and white stones. Powerful in the mouth. Massive acidity matched against a wall of ripe fruit. This was like an untamed lion in a cage that wanted to get out and roam around. Unfortunately it was consumed before we got the full impact of the necessary air time. — 4 years ago
