Dude. This was supposed to be 5 Skips!
Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher
Yeah, but then I remembered the french fry ratings system which is more globally excepted. Skip ratings is just to localizedCroix Estate

Love the look of the packaging, tho.

Nice wine, just expected something a little different. Aesop & Paper planes were more my style for this price.Laurent Miquel

Alban Vineyards
'North' Pinot Noir 2013
Had the Chardonnay not to long ago. It was an average bottle of wine. I was disappointed.
Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher
Yeah the North Project reminds me of Hobbs Cross barn project, nothing exciting at the going price point
I passed on it passed on low French fry scores.
Araujo Estate
Altagracia Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2008
9.6 is how many French fries?!
Are we back to the French fry rating system? I miss it!
Montagu Wines
Las Francas Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Last bottle of the night, too much cat urine on the nose for my taste, nose stands out since we had a neighborhood cat that marked his territory on our front door when we had an indoor cat. decant an hour & then it dissipates a bit.
Greystack is my favorite for the past couple years, thoughts @Shawn R ? — 10 days ago
Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher
Maybe some people use the term Grassy for cat pee,But I didn’t detect in that Greystack Rosemary’s block we had. There is a chemical compound that’s called P-Mentha-8-thio-3-one. I’ve had wines with more of it than this one, but still some here that dissipates with some air, but a lot of SB’s are said to have that compound to some extent.
@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher : Oh bummer! I steered you toward this one. I love the oak use in this SB. I normally don’t pop and pour this...I give it 30-45mins of air. One of my favorites. Hopefully the Syrah doesn’t disappoint!
Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher
@Shay A it wasn’t bad just needs air as you said, at least for me. Most SB’s I’ve had have that same nose, that’s what makes them SB compared to a Chardonnay,
Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher
Forgot about these two,
Hard to tell the difference, but edge go’s to the Oakville over the St. Helena . This would be my 2nd wine behind the 15 Kenrfick,both on par with Bevan Ontogeny & Realm Bard
