Failla

Estate Vineyard Fort Ross - Seaview Syrah 2019

From WM What’s Jason Drinking class 11/20/21. Young but aromatics open up - herbs, hibiscus. Def a lighter style Syrah. Cherry cola, faint fat and smoke. Finished off with Peno’s lamb ragú pappardelle. — 4 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016

Ripe fruits, pretty ruby color, light in your tongue with slight tannin finish, rather simple but good conversation wine. — 5 years ago

Lay & Wheeler

Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

Hats off to Lay & Wheeler, this own-brand Barolo is absolutely stupendous. Blown away by its complexity, well balanced in every sense with plenty of bright fruit, fierce tannin and bracing acidity. The most memorable wine I’ve had recently. Left wanting more. — 6 years ago

Rutherford Red Blend 2014

Probably a 97 a maturity. Solid 94 today. WOW this wine is young. Nose is reminiscent of a young Malbec. Of course, the Rutherford red blend is always heavy on the Malbec (historically 10 to 15 %) , although the percentage breakdown is not listed on this vintage. Has almost a meaty sort of a nose. Entry is youthful fruit that seems to have ripened just yesterday. Still very astringent black cherry and a little bit of baking spice to the middle. Finishes with a softer texture than expected, but also with some pretty stiff Young Oak tannin. This one definitely did better with dinner to cut through the tannin which made the finish a little more present and that hint of Rutherford dust stick out! But, with this one needs more than anything is about 5 years in the bottle to figure itself out. Looking forward to big things! — 7 years ago

Rutherford Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Umm... yeah..... so the last one of these I had didn't seem to be THIS good. I'd incite a riot if I gave this one what I really wanted to give. What a massive bouquet and palate of strawberry puree, crushed rock, pomegranate. Not too acidic. Rather full and viscous for a Rose.....aaaaand it's my last as well. — 7 years ago

I’ve had many older vintages from Wm Fevre and after 15 years they start to fade but this bottle is perfection. Youthful green tinged color, green apple/lime nose, taut palate with just enough bottle age to add richness and roundness. — 4 years ago

Thank goodness they still deliver during the Coronavirus pandemic.

This is extra good tonight. I was really very close to Soda Streaming that Wheeler Farms Rosé.

😍 this N/V Rosé and it has been a lot longer than normal. Close to withdrawals. 💉

Wheeler Farms was designed and built after Bart & Daphne Araujo sold Araujo to Chateau Latour. They spared no expense building their facilities and make 11 other labels there, including TOR.

This 17 Rosé is their first vintage and is a red blend.

Soft beautiful fruits, lean, watermelon, cherries, raspberries strawberries, peach, light beautiful minerality & spring flowers and pink roses. Beautiful acidity & finish. Nicely done.

Photos of, the small bites prepared for our tasting, their awesome gardens and their reception and tasting room.

Thought it was white, imagine my surprise when I poured it to follow a rose. Zut alors! Very delicious, well balanced. 2016 needed a few mins to unwind. Where did it come from??? Lay and Wheeler? — 6 years ago

Carneros Chardonnay 2013

Outdid a 2012 Puligny Montrachet. White flowers, peach, hint of herbal on the nose. Entry is full bodied. Peach, mango, melon, hint of butterscotch. Finished with a nice rounded character but also with just enough of a bite that it made the tongue sting. Ample character. Great balance. But, ready to drink now. Very happy with this one. This is the last one of these that I have and I think I finally timed it right! — 7 years ago

Sangiacomo Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2015

Waited to get home to try this one. The last bottle was corked. This bottle, not nearly so much!After the last bottle was corked, this bottle was opened the next night. Poured a light straw color. Nose of lemon and herbed buttered popcorn. The entry was acidic and dominated by lemon and Asian pear. Middle of this wine is where the buttered popcorn and kernel notes kicked in. The wine finishes rather acidic, but with good weight and density. I still think this one has quite a few years left in it. The next one to drink is the last 2013 for sure. Drink or hold this one another 3 to 5 years. — 7 years ago

@Hugh O'Riordan agreed! Their Cabernet Franc tends to be our favorite, however their straight Cabernet Sauvignon with seven or eight years of age will really blow you away. My wife calls them the best kept secret in Rutherford, even though they are right off the Silverado Trail! :-)
