Myriad Cellars

100% Whole Cluster Las Madres Vineyard Syrah

Great stuff. 2012 vintage. Violets, lilacs, some savory notes of grilled meat. Really good acidity keeps this bright and balances the weight of the dark fruit. Tannins give it good finish — 7 years ago

Bergspitze Whole Cluster White Label Laurel Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Slight hint of reduction that faded with 30 mins. Darker fruit profile than expected, considering the light color and low alcohol. 12.5%. well crafted, well balanced. Great value — 8 years ago

Monterustico

Piemonte Rosso Red Blend 2015

Whole Foods, $15

Deep burgundy color, a bit astringent on the nose but to be fair I'm reviewing this 2 days after opening. Quite dry with red fruit/cherry in the front and a very pleasant soil/mushroom earthiness. Slightly dry for my tastes but the smoothness and interesting and prominent red fruit and earthiness combination was very enjoyable.

Vigneto Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

Killer Barolo that today reminds me of a Rayas with its kirsch, strawberry very elegant & floral with notes of rhubarb, iron & lavender with layers of spice. Whole cluster that makes this wine taste so special. — 9 years ago

@Ron Siegel totally agree. They also macerate for up to 60 days. Crazy.

Giant Steps

Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

After the recent straight entry level Giant Steps Pinot from 2017 which was fruit driven and quite delicious this is one of their individual paddock wines - Applejack which is made in a different style with whole bunch ferment to the fore. Notes of anise and white pepper to the red fruited nose and palate. Hint of clove. Oak is resolved to my palate. Impressive and showing Steve Flamsteed’s ability as a winemaker. Postscript: Jackson Family Wines from the USA has acquired Giant Steps as of a year ago I believe. I would expect Giant Steps to be more readily available in the US now. — 5 years ago

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum A shout out & thanks to Paul for finding this on sale and sending it my way so I could stock up. Seeing as Jeff Bezos wouldn’t do the normal Whole Foods Wine sale in mid November. I guess short on cash this Q4? 🤷‍♂️
