Domaine Auguste Clape

Renaissance Cornas Syrah

Meat and cheese night - I knew this would be big -big boysenberry and black fruits cured meat, little floral, celery root, spice - this is Syrah to the core big tannins that weren’t tamed much by five years in bottle (fortunately I have another) love it — 7 years ago

Booker Vineyard

Fracture Paso Robles Syrah 2010

This bottle marks the first time I have had a booker wine with this much bottle age. IMO, still a long way to go with this one. Deep blue and blackberry flavors with rocky minerality, and vanilla flavors (almost root beer like). Love pretty much anything Booker makes. This wine included. — 7 years ago

@Scott Soren have had more than a few vintages of this and have loved all of them. Last I had was a ‘14 which was a more powerful/concentrated wine. Booker has a very distinct flavor profile.

Catherine et Pierre Breton

Nuits d'Ivresse Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2011

Really needs some time in the decanter, wound up super tight. Funky earthy nose with sour cherry and topsoil, very fleshy, rustic body of blue and red fruits, a bit of red bell pepper, bakers chocolate, loads of pencil shavings, a faint suggestion of spruce. Really crunch skeleton with serious, almost saline minerality. Fruit fades before the minerals and earth. Really complex. Give it plenty of air and a long ponder. — 7 years ago

EnRoute Winery

Les Pommiers Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2016

Fairly ripe and extracted vision of RRV PN. Fruit fwd but not overblown in the least. Made well but not really my jam at 14.5%. A lot of people like this style tho. Red fruits and root beer. Decant, smoke a big doob, and pair with a big ass pot roast and some taters for a good time — 6 years ago

Freycinet Vineyard

Tasmania Pinot Noir 2009

After decanting initial notes of honeycomb. A good combination of root vegetable notes and savoury red fruits. Great palate intensity without weight. An excellent example of a 10 year old Tasmanian Pinot. Freycinet is on the East Coast of Tasmania and their Pinot Noir is a regular purchase for me. Capable of ageing for 15 years plus. — 7 years ago

Rita's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

This is a very big Pinot. Very dark and full-bodied. Really lovely, but you sort of need to put aside assumptions about what Pinot should be like and just enjoy it on its own terms. Tons of mixed berry fruit with a fleeting hint of vanilla and root beer. — 8 years ago

Château Haut-Bergey

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Red currant and stewed plum with a healthy dose of licorice root. Very well rounded with a full mouth feel. A little light on structure. Pays to try modest Bordeaux from the best years to see what they can do when everything goes right. — 7 years ago

Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy

Sancerre Pinot Noir 2016

Racy! A little red sports car. Highly kinetic with crunchy strawberry, cranberry, and wineberry (R. phoenicolasius) on a prominent, angular skeleton. A faint touch of barbecue spices runs the last few yards of the race as the fruit fades. Quality stuff. — 7 years ago

[The Original Ungrafted] Casablanca Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Not a huge fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but this is fantastic. Crisp, but not just another simplistic Sauv Blanc, it has character. — 8 years ago

Rhys Vineyards

Bearwallow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Opens over time. InitIal nose of rose petals and muted fruit. Opens to cherries and licorice root. Bright red fruit, earthy mid palate, and then a lingering finish. Had to drink one. Will let the others alone for a while. — 9 years ago
