JL Brunello tasting 11/9/17. 90 Sangiovese 10 Cab Merlot. $12. Ruby medium nose red cherries fruits body medium with an acidic balance and finish. Good value. Tasted after the three big boys but hold up well. — 8 years ago

This is cool bottle for us. It was the last vintage under Helen Turley and also the last vintage where she used fruit from Three Sisters vineyard for a vineyard designate for her own Marcassin brand. Golden yellow in color the wine is extremely aromatic with vanilla, butterscotch and orange marmalade exploding from the glass in full throttle. The entry is full, lush and smooth. There is an incredible viscosity to the wine. Stone fruits and citrus dominate with a slight sweetness (not surprising given the pic on the right), but this is quickly balanced with a distinct minerality. There's a lot of Oak on this but the minerals and acidity combine to create an amazing harmony. The heartbreak of only having this one bottle is setting in. Will be curious to see how recent vintages stack up under their current winemaker. I remember tasting this for the first time 3 or so years ago and this is definitely one of those wines I'll remember. My other half and I are about to go to WAR for the last glass. — 8 years ago

Great way to start a week helping make wine by tasting a brand new bottle of a vintage that I worked on. Unbelievably balanced and beautiful. One of the best Cobb wines I have had and I've tried a lot. Finish is nearing the three minute mark right now. Happy:) — 10 years ago

Not usually a fan of sweet wines but this was not too sweet and blueberry flavored. Good desert wine. — 8 years ago

Got this and a few other Harris Vineyard bottles through an auction at an event. Had never heard of this producer but it's pretty darn good. Cork was perfect for a 2010 and even looked brand new. Big rich Cabernet. Layered with a long finish. Even better with this air. Three hours in and it's singing — 8 years ago

Another keeper from the Black Sage Bench. Truly unique, creamy and spicy nose on pepper steak, freshly milled steak rub, chocolate and raspberries. Dry and dusty on the palate with a good level of acidity to balance things out. — 11 years ago

Moët best known for their premium brand Dom Pérignon. Nectar Impérial is one of the best examples of the three Champagne grapes showing richness yet finesse. Aromas of tropical fruits with nice bubble stream and light mousse. On the palate tropical fruit flavors with a touch of raspberry. Crisp with mineral tones, lingering finish. — 8 years ago

Just a little something something to prep my palate before the Festivities began! Solid Chardonnay but I expected more.
On the fun side!: Blind tasting three wines tonight with friends: 2013 Beau Vigne Estate, 2014 Becklyn Reserve & 2013 Morlet Coeur de Vallee. Can't wait to dig in to those 3 bad boys!!! — 8 years ago

One of my favorite finds during a recent Paso trip. This small family owned winery only grows three grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Their wines both blend and single out these three varietals in wonderful fashion. The "Bang," their estate Cab, is pure Paso, but actually keeps the alcohol under 14%. Heat kissed red and blue fruits mingle with eucalyptus, menthol and a touch of green pepper and green vegetation on the nose. The palette backs all that up, adding a subtle backbone of dried, dusty earth - a more delicate Cab, not a smack you in the face Cab. As much as I'd like to keep this little winery under wraps, I can't help but extol the incredible work they're doing at a fraction of the cost of the other Paso big boys. — 9 years ago

An Australian icon-aged Clare Valley Riesling (in those days called Rhine Riesling unfortunately due to our country's slim knowledge base but later corrected against a barrage of opposition from conservatives and industrial makers of riesling, but not using riesling!) Classic glass of flavour; #honey #burnttoast #agedriesling #brulee #butter #crunch #yum #mouthful #watervale #treasuryestates ; wine made by the great man John Vickery before his defection to Richmond Grove when the Fosters people closed the brand down; but now it is back! Wine won three gold medals in the year of production-1990; probably never shown since. 12.5%; 1990 a terrific red year, usually not so for riesling; this had backbone; sweet acidity; nut power. — 11 years ago
