The Quiet Man

Truett-Hurst

Burning Man Old Vine Petite Sirah 2018

Dark reddish purple with near black core. Inviting nose and medium full palate of ashy blueberry, red blackberry, and high-cocoa dark chocolate. Dusty, medium plus tannins present (but not assertive) from entry. Medium acidity wrapped up in it all, and a lengthy finish wraps it all up. Classic California PS with enough stuffing for the connoisseur, but still enough approachability for the novice. Drink now through 2030. — 3 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Tasting the new 2015 today, while very brooding and quiet at first pour, you can see the huge potential. I am a big fan of Dominus with age and given the makings of this 2015, I can see this joining the ranks of some of the greatest vintages of Dominus...in time, lots and lots of time. — 7 years ago

Man O' War Vineyards

Ironclad Waiheke Island Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Delicious. 20 months in Oak. Cab franc still dominant grape at 45% so a slightly different rendition than the old world. Oak, tobacco, dark fruit. Yummy — 7 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

Taken to the Forest Theater in Carmel. Light gold color. Quiet nose. Soft notes of some citrus and sweet fruit. No flaws but overall uninspiring. Seems like Chez Raveneau missed with this one. — 3 years ago

@Doug Powers @Eric Urbani Ha! Search my TNs and you’ll more btls of aged Raveneau than probably anyone on this board. Many of them 20+ years old. This had ~3 hrs in a decanter. Just not loving the 04 MdT… As Meadows says, “tasted multiple times with consistent notes”

@Mike Saviage, not in any way questioning what you tasted. Like you, I only drink older Raveneau (newest vintage I have is 1990), and actually had a completely dead bottle of 1986 Les Clos that I posted on earlier this year. As my brother always tells me, there are no great wines, just great bottles!! Cheers!
