Wantirna Estate

Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012

A boutique producer I used to buy years ago. It’s not readily available but it was nice to revisit Wantirna Estate…..quaintly owned by Reg Egan and Daughters! Situated really on the outer suburbs of eastern Melbourne - on the way to the Yarra Valley. I love the nose on this wine - red fruits, tobacco and vanilla notes. A lovely long medium weight palate. This was the 1st of 3 bottles. Window from HH indicates through to 2032 when it will be 20 years old. — 7 months ago

Eagle Ridge

Private Reserve Petite Sirah 2013

Eagle Ridge is one of my favorite boutique wineries in Livermore. They use all estate grapes and the Petite Sirah is their signature wine. This 6 year old PS has flavors of plum and brambleberries. — 7 years ago

Cascina delle Rose

Donna Elena Piemonte DOC Barbera 2012

Blind I would have that it was a delicious older #CaliCab because of its overripe juicy red fruits and velvety tannins, but this Barbera from my favorite boutique Barbaresco producer was a stunner — 9 years ago

País 2022

One of my first pais.
Translucent garnet.

Medium full body with rich cherry flavor. Chewy and dry. However, the fruit notes provide an air of sweetness.

Spinifex

Bête Noir Shiraz 2020

Another candidate in the 41 wine lineup at the Downs Club tasted blind. Unlike many of the other candidates which had ripe black fruits from 2018, this had notes of dried meat and charcuterie. Full bodied - more savoury than fruit driven. Spinifex is a boutique Barossa producer. Winemaker is the Kiwi star, Peter Schell. Very Good. — 4 years ago

Love and Squalor

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Today's selection for contemplating hurricane Irma's arrival Sunday here in Melbourne, FL. Fine cherry character, almost jammy, tamped down by a slight petrol undertone. Light, yet acidic, mouthfeel, lingers for many minutes. Probably passed by this winery in McMinnville, OR during a visit years ago to see small boutique wineries and the spruce goose. Wished I had seen it, even though this is a multi-vineyard multi-appellation blend. Worth a spin, especially at the price, if you can get a bottle out of the 1100 cases produced. — 9 years ago

Conn Creek

Anthology Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Conn Creek is a boutique winery on the Silverado Trail in the Rutherford district headed by winemaker Mike McGrath. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep red with aromas of currants and floral notes. On the palate juicy blackberry and raspberry flavors with espresso and tobacco tones with big well integrated tannins. Lingering finish ending with cedar and mineral ending. Will benefit from aging. — 10 years ago

Portugal Boutique Winery

Guyot Douro White Blend 2016

A bit modest at first, but with a pronounced minerality that is confidently taking over the show, and evolving into a salty complexity. Great presence and a vibrant texture on the palate is driving the fruit through the finish. A very smart wine. — 7 years ago

The Four Graces

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

From one of my favorite boutique Oregon wineries. Light, but definitely has plenty of red and black fruitiness. Very easy drinking alone or with a platter of meats and cheeses. — 10 years ago
