Basalt Block Pinot Noir 2013

Limestone and flint, some fresh turned earth. It opens with tannins, black peppercorns, purple plum skin, and ends with light red fruit, possibly pomegranate. — 7 years ago

Spring Ridge Vineyard Bee Block Chardonnay 2014

Lovely yellow hue opens up a powerful nose filled with dirt, grass, rice, and honeysuckle. The palate proceeds to get smothered with a perfect amount of oak coupled with honey and lemon. A mildly tart finish makes this the perfect summer white. Great recommendation by the local rep and Happy 4th to everyone!....a mid-dinner update....massive green apple comes through with food! — 9 years ago

H Block Hudson Vineyards Cabernet Franc Merlot

This is an inarguably great wine. And all the more impressive to me that it is stylistically not my typical leanings. Serious power, depth, balance - still so young - and I'll be damned if this wine isn't mindblowing in 10 years. Bravo @Fritz Hatton — 10 years ago

I really enjoy when a wine that "isn't my style" impresses me in this way. It encourages me to keep trying everything(I don't need that much encouraging though) and to have an open mind.

V Block Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

When compared side by side with Liparita's less expensive Rutherford Cab release, V Block can be likened to a parent's favorite offspring. Although both wines may share similar genetic material and upbringing, V Block has gained more dimension and self confidence through increased care and attention from infancy. #ridiculous :p — 11 years ago

Brinkman Block Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Fantastic GIII fruit. Deep rich character. Blackberry, leather, a little spice. Nice long balanced finish. Decanted for 2 hours. Needs more than that. Structure leads me to believe this is a 25+ year wine. — 5 years ago

Grey [Glacier] Single Block Trinidad Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This wine is dark and savory. The black fruit comes along with cedar, vanilla and a chalky earth tone. Nothing like Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, but more in line with Paso Robles. Lots of South American minerals having a bit of roughhouse here. — 6 years ago

Daaaaammmnnn this is 🔥!!! Gots all the signatures of a big ass Cali cabs, but like I dunno, sophisticated and demure. All those ripe lush fruity juiciness was just so perfectly interwoven with cocoa coffee graphite and lightly crushed herbs all with jusssst the right amount of oakiness <chef’s kiss> — 6 years ago

Juicy nose of green apple, dried chrysanthemum, pineapple, and subtle vanilla on the nose. Rich and dense, almost oily, on the palate, but not heavy. Round acidity laced with mint. Energetic and well balanced. — 6 years ago
