The Scarlet Ibis

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 1998

Dark scarlet center with clear rims. Almost opaque. Wonderful fragrant nose. Notes of blue fruit, earth, violets, minerals, and some menthol. Meaty. Velvet glove in the mouth. Soft rich fruit with a nice balance of acidity that prolongs the finish. Was open for business immediately. RIP Mr Clape and thank you for this. — 7 years ago

Conti Costanti

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1999

Dark scarlet. Barely translucent. Nice nose with notes of smoky fruit, cassis, hickory, and a little dark chocolate. Round in the mouth, the tannins are nicely integrated. Fruit is a bit faded. Good wine with rich Italian food. — 8 years ago

Darioush

Caravan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Deep scarlet violet glass with translucent scarlet rim. Medium nose of blackberry jam, clove, eucalyptus against a subtle background of dry tobacco and leather. Medium full bodied tart acid hit to the palate of dark fruits, pepper and cocoa. Finishes long with big soft chalky tannins. Well balanced wine with good structure. At $37.99 USD, a little dear but still good for the occasional splurge or accompaniment to your rich dish. — 9 years ago

Rene Rostaing

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1999

Dark scarlet color showing a little age. Aromatic, animalistic nose with notes of black cherry, blueberries, a little menthol and some cold slate stone. Rich in the mouth with nicely integrated tannins. Ok finish. The funk in the nose is the memorable takeaway. — 8 years ago

Château Bellegrave

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Road trips deserve respites. Beaufort, SC’s Old Bull Tavern spinning Marvin, Jimmi, and Stevie while casually offering up perfect garlicky oil bathed snails set upon crazy freshly baked chewy sour dough simply screams for, oh yeah, the wine. This fine Pomerol waits, wanting , her dangerously dark scarlet skin shimmers as she spins in the early evening tempted by the tunes revealing her marooning shades, darker bleeding berries, showing lighter in the wafting inconsistency of candle light. Another spin , a tilt, a voyeur’s gaze, a twirl, and a first kiss’ earthy wet spice on the front succumbs to plum its well-balanced acid clutches begging another spin, The I sip slow seductive deep kiss as she floods forward - I swallow, but she clings slowly, gradually, teetering touching sliding slowly, stealthy, soothingly, seductively signaling - have another hit... Don’t miss this wine or place, both picture perfect dripping southern edge and charm with a French accent and kiss🍷🌀 — 7 years ago

Lucien Le Moine

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2002

Deep dark scarlet, almost opaque. Ripe bing cherries in the nose, with rhubarb, spice, wood and wet soil notes. Still very primary in the mouth, with a nice core of fruit. Good backbone and finish. Has great balance. Needs time. — 8 years ago

Nice.

Decoy

Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2014

Scarlet violet glass with scarlet violet translucent rim. Pretty, light nose of cedar, earth, vanilla, blackberry, cherry, raspberry, and hints of tobacco. Light body brings mild acidic tartness of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Finishes short to medium due to tiny tannins with an ending cedar/oak note. Good balance, structure and value at $19.99 USD. Easy recommendation for a good light sipper! — 9 years ago

Swagger Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Amazing Cab with nice dark scarlet color. Silky with hints of that Rutherford "dust" to it as well. Decanted for an hour and it continued to get deeper in layers. Nice job by Saunters Vineyard — 11 years ago
