Frick Winery

Owl Hill Vineyard Counoise 2014

Take a dill pickle from a good deli and bash it around in a well-made humidor then set that whole affair in front of a bowl of blackberry conserves. Et voila! Initial impressions. With air, this sheds the dill and cedar and replaces it with wintergreen. Overall a beautiful expression of a difficult and contentious variety. Satisfy your curiosity here; you'll enjoy it. — 9 years ago

The Four Graces

North Blocks Pinot Noir

Did the 2011 North and South Block comparison with Thanksgiving dinner. North was a bit darker in color and heavier in body (and had more of an alcohol mouth feel) and went better with food/the whole meal. Fabulous nose of leather and wintergreen. — 10 years ago

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2010

My last bottle of this stuff. Really excellent Pinot. A touch of wintergreen on the finish. Super balance, medium bodied, served with a slight chill, can't get enough! — 10 years ago

First Drop Wines

Fat of the Land Shiraz 2006

"From the slurp factory of Barossa," single vineyard from Ebenezer. Lifted nose: milk chocolate, wintergreen, vanilla extract, brambly dark berries. Bright on the palate with rich forest berries, finishes strong with black raspberry tart. In a great place right now! — 11 years ago

Herri Mina

Irouleguy Cabernet Franc Tannat 2011

From last week's tasting led by Martine Saunier, this Basque Cabernet Franc has much to offer. I love Cab Franc, personally, with all of its aromatic funkiness and rustic charm. Herri Mina Irouleguy does this, along with notes of forest floor, wintergreen and pie cherries. Silky on entry, the tannins hit the sides of the mouth. Finishes with pink peppercorn and Herbs de Garrique. Retails for around $33.00. — 11 years ago

Licorice, wintergreen - fascinating! — 8 years ago

Sine Qua Non

Dangerous Birds Sta. Rita Hills Syrah 2007

Inky and thick in the glass, pure velvet on the tongue, berry muffins and wintergreen on the nose. The weight of the wine is masterfully offset by the undercurrent of acidity and the tannins literally melt through the finish. As mysterious and intense as the bottle it comes from. — 9 years ago

El Dorado

12 Year Old Rum

A wall of cedar coated in turbinado crystals, sweet tea, vanilla mist, wintergreen and wildflower honey up the two-hole. Really a gorgeous array. Orange blossom honey, pine nut, rock candy, lemongrass, cocoanut, cocoa powder, soft vanilla, sweet tobacco, coffee candy, brickle notes, squash blossom, poppy flower, and the worlds most perfect raisin. As delightfully indulgent as drifting carelessly down a clean river in spring and being enveloped in an endless array of budding flora! — 9 years ago

1971er. Sometimes the olden days touch the present. I have never understood "wintergreen" in wine as well as I do today. Like another generation reaching out from the past to tell me the way it was. — 10 years ago

Beauregard Vineyards

Coast Grade Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

This is extremely resonant of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Cool damp forest floor with bright hibiscus, wintergreen, and tart cherry notes. Touches of cremini and cotton candy keep me sipping. A classic. — 11 years ago

Pasoport Wine Co.

Violeta Red Blend 2007

Complex, sweet spice and herbal elements of mace, anise, candied ginger and wintergreen, soar aromatically above the deeper fruit scents which can best be described as fresh-baked blueberry pie. The flavors are a port lover’s tour-de-force, with a dynamic flavor profile of cassis liqueur, wild elderberry and rich, decadent dark chocolate. True Portuguese style dessert port wine. Steve Glossner, the former winemaker at Justin that put the Isosceles on the map, has created another gem!! **Gold Medal-Orange County Fair — 11 years ago

Herman Story

Tomboy White Rhone Blend 2011

The bright gold '11 Herman Story White Rhone Blend 'Tomboy' is not a lightweight summer deck wine. Gorgeous stewed peach, lemon, fresh-cut honeysuckle and nutty aromas rose from the glass. A hefty and rich mouthfeel with a refreshing acidic wintergreen minty quality. Very energetic through the palate and finishing dry, clean and long. — 11 years ago
