Iron fist in a velvet glove. Wonderful expression. Presents as a cool-climate cab, which then creeps up on you. Plush tannins, lovely oak and brown sugar notes. Finishes with a wonderful sense of urgency.
Another @David L gift. Thank you, sir!

2016 barrel sample.
This is gonna be awesome. Very prominent tannins, which are to be expected. Notes of coffee and maple syrup on the nose. Deep extraction, similar to a bottomless pit. Huge overripe cherries, cassis and a muscular frame. Finishes with urgency. A stellar example from a great producer. — 8 years ago

Absolutely no exaggeration there. John’s wines always seal the deal for me. Last night was no exception, Ron was amazing even if he doesn’t remember it 😂

How does one tidy up a #day of #snowboarding? with a bottle of #pinotnoir from #japan of course. scents of tilled, damp soil, freshly scattered mulch, broken brambles, & slivers of pata negra follow thru on a palate highlighted by memory evoking flavours of pleasingly tart, just picked red huckleberries while traipsing thru a temperate #rainforest in Southeastern Alaska. Pretty damn expressive & heaps tasty. Get some. #nanatsumori by Domaine Takahiko Soga. Something to linger over, the elemental urgency, litheness & raw, electro beauty of this wine. — 11 years ago

Powerful aromas of plums , tobacco and hints of brett leap at you like a dog welcoming its master as he or she walks through the front door at the end of the day. Silky fruit paints the palate. In a great spot now but no urgency of it going over the hill. — 10 years ago

Complex and creamy, all without the urgency that acidity brings. It has density and presence without being clunky. Almonds, vanilla, white pepper, & honey, all weave with a perfect amount of freshly baked apple pie. — 10 years ago
