Snake Herring

Maybach Family Vineyards

Amoenus Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Still big, lush and fruit forward. Syrupy texture, loaded with blackberry, violet, cherry herring. Smooth and deep if not powerful. Opened to more red fruit, touch of vanilla and cinnamon on the finish. Lots of life left even after 15 years. — 8 months ago

'Cannonball' Margaret River Red Blend 2018

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, deep Ruby red color with aromas of spice and cedar notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and currants with dried herbs, cacao, pepper and spice with underlying gentle sweetness. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty notes, and herb spice. Drink now! — a year ago

'Perfect Day' Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc - Sémillon Blend

I’m not usually a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but this was a bit more complex than most. Nice melon note, with a smooth mouthfeel. Definitely a good summer wine for its crispness. Not sweet, either, which I prefer. — 4 years ago

Snake River Valley Cabernet - Syrah Blend 2018

We are members at this winery... I know... Idaho is still figuring out how to do wine, but this wine is a bit-o-alright! Every other month we make the drive to the winery to pick up our allocation. While there is no restaurant at the winery, you are allowed to bring a picnic lunch. Sitting inside or outside with a picnic lunch and w a tasting that comes free w membership is delightful! Staff is so pleasant, and the winery has remained open (with restrictions) during this time of Covid . We like the experience, and THAT’s why we are members. We were willing to put up w mediocre wine for the EXPERIENCE. But, hey, this wine definitely surpasses mediocre! — 5 years ago

Snake River Valley Syrah 2016

In Idaho for a wedding and needed to try some local wines. After a 12 hr travel day from south jersey to Ketchum....this paired with a local grass feed brie & fig topped burger is much needed. BlackBerry, plum, bacon fat, olive tapenade, and smoked meats. This could go against any old world syrah. Highly enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Snake River Valley Syrah 2015

It was time to taste local again!! Nice, mature Syrah from the Snake River Valley in Idaho. Notes of ripe mulberry, almost jammy lifted by warm spices. Low acidity and very soft tannins. Time to drink it. — 5 years ago

Split Rail Winery

Snake River Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Steak night on vacation in the outer banks.
Having an Idaho vs Napa cab comparison. We went to Idaho for a wedding in June and purchased some local wines.
2014 Split Rail Winery vs 2013 Chappellet Napa Valley cab.
This is massive at 15.6% abv with equally big blueberry, cassis, smoke, and touches of lavender. Very surprised by how well this wine was! This was $33 vs the $65 Chappellet price point.
