Norman Hardie

Unfiltered Prince Edward County Pinot Noir

Light ruby in color. It’s from Canada. And it smells of dry grasses and wild flowers. Or maybe those are just the smells stuck in my nose. It’s family time here at the lake house in Canada, with all the tension and buried hurts family time can entail. Enter this Pinot noir. The scent of violet, the taste of rose petals, tart cherries, and red currants. It’s new and familiar at the same time. Brings me right back to myself. Families are families, for better or for worse. Then wine, old grapes made in a new way, complex and fleeting, helps give you the long view and takes you right back home. — 6 years ago

Cabutto

Riserva del Fondatore Tenuta La Volta Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Kalamata olives, dried black cherries, baker’s chocolate, rusted jalopy, black pretzel, tar, and dried violets. Energetic aromatically; evocative of a rustic stone house with a variegated garden of herbs, and perhaps straw roofing. Plum moves forward in a good way rounding out the basket. Powdered cherry and blood orange with the finest tannins seem to liquify into a delicious balancing act between fruit and earth and herbs. Ripe plum, dried red cherries, black cherry juice, black olives, blood orange over grilled meat, sassafras, sage, tarragon, black truffle, chicory and walnut. Not a traditional pairing with Californian lamb from sustainable vineyards in Lake County, but revalatory. #Barolo #nebbiololife #nebbiololover #nebbioli #cabutto #tenutalavolta #docg #piemonte #piedmont — 7 years ago

Sweet dark spices, tobacco, graphite, dry stem, mint, black licorice, dry crushed rocks & loamy soils with a well balanced, structured, elegantly round, rich, long finish. 9.5 with room for more as it bottle ages.

I think if you have one, maybe wait 1-2 years. If you have more, sure. It would be a good time to try one. Also, depends on who you like your wines, younger or older. I prefer mine with good bottle evolution & integration.

Robledo Family Winery

The Seven Brothers Lake County Sauvignon Blanc 2013

A very nice Sauvignon Blanc (2013) from an excellent Sonoma winery owned by the first Mexican family to produce wine in the USA (a great American success story). They have been a wine if choice in several White House dinners. Clean, crisp with a nice floral finish make this excellent with almost any meal - sushi to seafood. Note: if in the Sonoma wine country - don't miss the winery as they are friendly, knowledgable and have some terrible wines - red & white. — 9 years ago
