Annual birthday WWC hosting. As normal, 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert, all presented blind.
Fun to open birth year wines around your birthday, especially when you can do a Bordeaux and Napa side by side. While not a great vintage, this held up well after a few hours and presented as expected. Clean and zero Brett. Great color! Deep ruby with hardly any bricking. Leather, cassis, vanilla pipe tobacco on the nose. Sporting a good bit of dusty red and black fruits (mostly tart raspberries and blackberries), there was a little savory truffle note mixed with an herbal and mocha finish. Still quite grippy. Pretty. — 16 days ago

With sushi and oysters. I'm coming around on finger lakes Riesling — 2 months ago
Half bottle. Light gold color. Nose dominated by petrol and maybe some melons and pineapples. Wine is very deep and more sweet than acidic. On the younger side with potential.
This opened up nicely after 20 mins+, even got some subtle lilac tones. — 2 months ago

These are consistently delicious and an amazing value for the money. Green Apple and stones. Diesel on the nose. Just love them year after year. — 2 days ago
