Beyond Ordinary

Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Solid blend for the price point. Definitely give it a try. Let it open a little bit for it’s full potential. If I find it for $12 again, I’m buying at least 2. — 6 years ago

Maybach Family Vineyards

Materium Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

To quote my two friends @Martin G Rivard and @Mike Rowe this is a bad ass wine eliciting smiles all around (and a great way to start 2017). Parker gave this a perfect score and it is a beauty. Decanting is a must at this point. It's been opening up over the last 4 hours and think it will continue to improve if I can sip more slowly lol. Slightly cloudy, and a bright purple in the glass. On the nose, cassis, vanilla and toast dominate. The sips are long and driven by fruit (blue and blackberries and cassis). Liquid silk in the mouth with sweet tannins and a surprisingly strong acidity. The finish is long. This is a total baby but I had to try it. Happy New Year to all my Delectable friends and especially to my fellow Wine Nerd Herd. I've always believed that sharing wine with friends is the greatest gift and this app has enabled me to do that with friends near and far and connect with some great people. May 2017 be a year of great health and happiness and may all our glasses be full! — 9 years ago

Domaine Etienne et Sébastien Riffault

Les Quarterons Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2017

I’ve heard for years about the wildly extroverted and extra-ordinary Sancerre wines from Sebastien Riffault. His wines are an outlier of ripeness in a sea of lean high acid chalky juice. Rich with an amber glow.

He picks his Sauvignon Blanc at the last minute to reach a level of ripeness you’d never expect could come from the tiny cold pocket of the Loire.

Now I like both styles, but this is super fun and something completely new to me.

Think juicy peach, fresh apricot, and bright yellow pineapple. But still with high acid - nothing flabby.

@Jay Kline yes it’s a must. Reminds me of the bow and arrow Sauvignon Blanc if you’ve ever tried

Ata Rangi

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2009

At an old school mate and fellow Pinot nut up at Maroochydore. Never had an aged Ata Rangi before and it was marvellous. Thanks John! Always one of the best Pinots in New Zealand, at 10 years it has dropped a lot of the aromatic red fruits of its youth and become much more Burgundian with savoury earthy mushroom and compost heap nuances. A beautiful wine. — 6 years ago

Fort Walla Walla Cellars

Reserve Walla Walla Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

A delicious swap with a fellow winery from Walla Walla Washington State - I traded a local wine for this amazing 2005 red Bordeaux blend wine.

This wine was kept well, and had just the perfect amount of age and fruit, with aromas and flavors of leather and black dried fruit.

My rating: If you can track down another bottle, I would buy it. As it is, their latest vintages are also quite tasty, too.

Arnaud Ente

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2013

In an offert vintage. Still The Best ordinary Bourgogne Blanc on the market. Lovely floral aromas w/ ripe peaches, lime, lemon, jasmin, white pepper characteristics. Intense Yellow apples.
Dry, fresh with and integrated intense oak character that spices The Yellow fruited flavour profile.
Moderate alcohol.
Great length.
Would probably say Meursault in a blindtasting.
Serve sligthly chilled with rich fish dishes.
