Vine Hill Ranch Petit Verdot 2013

This is a delicious Petit Verdot from Napa Valley.

Tasty right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours in the decanter.

Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, chocolates, tobacco leaf, spices, tar, peppercorn, dark coffee, earth and licorice.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate.

Loved the nose here.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

“Sunday Funday” with friends & family ✨

Had this a few weeks ago and went into it today already thinking it’d blow the TOR blend out of the water, but no...I thought this drank just beneath the blend in terms of complexity, performance, and overall desirability.

The fruit from this wine is coming from the Tierra Roja vineyard, bordering Dalla Valle. In my experience, 2015s are very concentrated and because of that, can often be coiled up. This may be the winner for most coiled. Unyielding even after double decanting for around two hours. Aromatically, you get a sense of the profile with a mix of red, blue and black fruits, cinnamon, scorched earth, and peppercorns but it shuts down hard on the palate. Flavors are a bit muted and it’s obviously tannic, with crunchy black cherries , clay, herbs, dust and high percentage dark cocoa. If opening now, I’d decant for 8+ hrs, but better yet, hold for 5+ yrs.

Excellent wine.

Some explosive fruit but also a lot of structure and depth.

Seems like it has more to develop even further.

Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds). — 4 years ago

Just an infant, but under the covers, there’s a very tor style ripe profile with pie spice, violets, blueberry, and blackberry. Very rich and needs lots of breathing room. Thanks @Eric ! — 5 years ago

Tor Di Lupo Lagrein 2015

Really trying to get an understanding of the Lagrein grape while in its home region of Italy. This is a nice one, but quite different in style than the Nusserhof we had the other night. Deep dark violet in the glass. After an hour of air, quite nice aromatically, with deep dark fruits coming through and the initial oak note blowing off. Full bodied, with a fair bit of young tannin - which made it a great pairing for simple meats from a rustic wood grille. Nice long finish with good acid. — 6 years ago
