Domaine de Saint Siffrein

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010

Prunes, plums, raisins...damp wet mushroom underbrush and thistle.
An Autumnal wine...Still young and a bit big for me, but all in all highly quaffable juice.

"Quartre" Méthode Carbonique Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Completely unexpected. Tastes like a cross between Vernier and Villemade. Carbonic was less evident than typical Loire. A wind that also lets one understand the use of concrete too. Drank with fantastic dinner at Thistle in McMiniville. — 10 years ago

Caves Saint-Pierre

Le Fiacre du Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Medium high intensity of garnet & a dense purple core. Medium & slightly aged aromas of dried brambly red fruit. Nice musty/earthy notes that give way to dried thistle & cherry flavors on the palate with a slate, pepper & mineral finish all wrapped in warm, well balanced oak. Medium tannins & moderately high alcohol length & finish is medium. A great bargain at $19. — 10 years ago

Cameron Winery

Apéritif Dundee Rosé Blend

Cameron has made a vermouth, by serendipitous means and by realizing that the amaro herbs of milk thistle, rosemary, cardoon, sumac, quassia bark and chamomile were already growing on the property. This vermouth is based on a barrel of 2010 Cameron Pinot Noir, with these herbs, honey, and a fleck of electrifying orange peel that adds to the brisk acidity and depth of plush yet bitter flavors tingling on the palate. — 9 years ago

Cinnamon and I decided to stay with the chalk theme to go with out haul from the Carmel Cheese Shop and our fresh-from-Castroville Thistle Hut artichokes. This en Rama bottling was fantastic, close to Amontillado richness and complexity, but all Fino refreshment! — 9 years ago
