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. — 6 years ago

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.

Spectacular. This won’t last anywhere near as long as the 2010 Dunn, but is in a superb spot right now. Great Cab profile and extremely smooth with about three hours of air. A beautiful To Kalon example. — 8 years ago

I was served this dessert wine from Tor Kenward blind, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is not a Sauternes. It reminds me of 2009 Guiraud, though perhaps slightly less concentrated. As the glass warms up, heady aromas of ripe apricot, dried pineapple, clover honey, candied ginger and baking spices leap forth. Unctuously textured, with vibrant acidity. The finish on this golden-robed beauty lasts for well over a minute. — 12 years ago

Vine Hill Ranch Petit Verdot 2013

9.3

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.

They make some great wine. Looking forward to my more recent vintages one day. I think they have excelled quite a bit since 02. Cheers and happy Memorial Day weekend.

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

Not the best TOR I've had, but a good solid contender. A few have been off the charts, which is what I always hope for, but I'd take more if I could afford it. Not a daily drinker, for me at least. Wish it was. — 11 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
