Rochioli West Block might be my favorite. 2008 is also drinking very well right now. Bittersweet that this is our last meal at Scopa. It's been a delicious run. 😢😋 — 9 years ago

Not a huge fan of Zin but if you like Zin Carlisle is amazing. Full bodied, lush, full of blackberries & currants. Very easy to drink and impressive effort from Mike at Carlisle — 10 years ago

High octane style zin, but certainly not run-of-the-mill. Big and brooding with intense blackberry, bramble, spice. 17.3 alcohol but doesn't feel hot at all. Bring me beef! — 11 years ago

We had this DuMol in Vegas. Delectable says you can buy it for $78. We paid $180 at the Wynn - that's Vegas for ya! But it was worth the experience. Loved the wine too! — 11 years ago

Another fantastic Margaret River cab that beats almost any French and Cali at the 100-dollar level, IMO.

Impressive and interesting. Dark ripe cherries, sour cherries, warm spice. Seems restrained and subtle at first but gathers pace and lenth. — 10 years ago

Pure RRV, bright red fruit, oaked but not over the top. Not much in the way of tannins, ready and accessible.

Total steal at Court Street. — 11 years ago

2011- this was awesome as soon as the cork was pulled. Wonderful and consistent example of The vineyard. Black cherry, spice. Still a little tight at the end even after a few hours. Long life ahead — 11 years ago

Hard to say but probably my favorite wine of the last few days, I also love Syrah so I guess I am biased. Single vineyard, 75% whole cluster fermentation aged 17 months in 40% new French oak. Massive nose of black fruit, barbecue smoke, and herb. Continues on the palate with massive black fruit, cassis, herbaceous brambles, smoked meat, and smoke. Tremendous length which only highlighted the harmony and balance between the silky tannin and acidity. Great producer, like high end Northern Rhone, I am always amazed how great wine makers are able to tame and refine Syrah. From magnum, which has helped keep this alive. As well as its drinking you could tell this wine is edging towards past peak, so drink now if you got it. Opened at Charleston Wine and Company my favorite wine bar in town. Thanks Josh and Staff for the hospitality. — 9 years ago

Dark and opaque. Earthy nose. Unusually heavy and thick for a Pinot, particularly a Cali Pinot. Give this at least two hours in decanter. — 10 years ago
