Cave Spring

Niagara Escarpment Rosé 2014

When asked about his methods, the winemaker replied ' Unicorn Magic!', then disappeared in a puff of rainbow coloured smoke. Best paired with anything cooked over a Phoenix in full flame. — 9 years ago

Arianna Occhipinti

SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria 2013

"Love. Of course, love. Flames for a year, ashes for thirty." This well-known quote by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa' s The Leopard, sum up in few words who's the true enemie in aging wine and waiting too much before you die: the time! Arianna's SP68 white - she's a sicilian native as the writer of The Leopard - is here to remind us first of all that life is too short to collect so many wines without knock them back sooner mainly when they're pleasant fresh and fragrant; therefore that her wine more than others, is a flame of supreme love, though, we must drink up before it turns into ashes! — 10 years ago

I'm almost afraid to have these wines now. Your metaphoric descriptions are clearly more beautiful than the wines themselves. Nicely reviewed.

Summerland

Paradise Road Vineyard Single Vineyard Collection Syrah 2005

2005 Summerland serial number 6043. Charred earth and meaty smoky loveliness that really reminded me of Cayuse for a moment. Bold terroir and a backdraft of black pepper on an extracted plummy black nasty fruit stuffed mushroom and peat cloud. Real depth of character stuff, where you really feel this wine has your back as your guns smoke and bluster from a wet foxhole. Straight cover fire for hours. Then you realize your brother is losing lifeblood, literally baking in a fever, and you are the one who gets to live with him in his greatest moment, shining like a flame. Another hour, and the sun has set, summer is over, the smoke is clearing to reveal a tired, injured if glorious wine that really was at its best in that precise moment, and adumbrates in the long shadow of death. — 11 years ago

Lytton Estate Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah Zinfandel 2012

I don't know where my head is at the moment. This vertiginous Petite Sirah was paired with a feast for the eyes sous vide rib-eye finished and charred on the open flame. Rarely, I have tasted so defined notes of fruit and tannins. It is a must to taste and it's length clearly helps it keep up with similar crafts from the old world. — 9 years ago

Willamette Valley Vineyards

Tonight, back home... Unwind with an old flame. My favorite locally available Oregon PN. Authentic nose, full mouth, less acid than expected in this complex delightful finish... What wonderfully warm wizardry from Willamette — 10 years ago

Ruby purple with a flame rim. Cranberry! on the nose, plus leathery tea, bay laurel, macerated strawberries, and balsamic. Clean and fresh on the palate and not as tannic as I expected, there is cranberry, tea, anisette. A lovely wine with some years ahead of it. 13.3% abv | wine club — 12 years ago
