Good but this was the last wine straw at the 2018 boys’ lunch and put me over the edge! — 7 years ago
Really nice, aged well. Found it in the winc cellar today. Turns out it was given to me by my late father so very long ago. Appropriately had it tonight celebrating a late Father's day with all my boys. Thanks Dad. — 7 years ago
Off the charts. In so many ways. It’s rare to explore such densely packed fruit in wine, and when you do, it’s usually associated with jammy notes and way too much oak. This is this the opposite. Freshness and pronounced minerality lead the dark fruit flavours forward while serious tannins wrap things up, supported by great, interwoven acidity and framed by licorice tainted oak treatment. Best from 2022, but drinks amazing already given 4-5 hours of air. — 8 years ago

Chewy, thick and wonderful. Very American. Yet it has wonderful French balance and finish. Break out the smoker boys, I am bringing the wine. 14.8%, and $42 at Sam's. — 10 years ago

Balance, depth, smooth that is full of berry leather, so very very drinkable. Great value that runs with the big boys. — 9 years ago
60% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot & 15% Cabernet Sauvignon

Palate has lightly tannic blackberry, wet leather, ripe black currant, cigar box, wet clay and tarry black cherry.
Paired with a long cooked Bolognese sauce over fettuccine. Decanted ~3hr, more time in the decanter would benefit. Future bottles can be 2022+
Happy Father's Day 2019 to all. Today I'm posting pictures of our kids, yes they are all furry, independent and somewhat self-interested. Two boys (8) and two girls (2), sisters, all rescued. They generally bring the utmost of joy to my life on a daily basis. It has been a rainy and relaxing day here, everyone is loving the slow pace of life today.
I think that Delectable needs to be able to tag cat+wine posts so that I can make a bookmark for felines. — 6 years ago

I really love Tawny Port and was quite surprised as to how good this Aussie version is. An NV, but the average age of the blend is 21 years. Soft on the pallet and not too sweet. You know this is a fortified wine, but the alcohol is not overpowering. Plum, fig and raisin flavors. A “Sherry-like” nuttiness. Really terrific! Thank you, Mark Smith. Revisited in May 2020. Still fantastic! An after dinner wine to share! Revisited again in June 2022. Still fantastic. — 8 years ago
