Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2015 “Soul of a Lion” pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of cassis, plum, purple flowers, Fresno chili, tobacco, leather, vanilla and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and silky. A fairly massive wine but there’s plenty of character to keep it unique and interesting. Drink now through 2035+ — 2 months ago

Read the hype, bought the bargain, drank it alone like a responsible adult. Too bad the 2021 is too young and tight-wound at first, but on day three it exhaled and pulled me completely inward. Magnetic. I am sold. Deep and complex, there are too many layers to name, but i immensely enjoy the fruit’s push against the savory pull. Quietly persuasive rather than flashy. — 5 months ago
This is a stunning white showing surprisingly rich evolution: lemon and candied lemon, acacia, honeysuckle, wet stone, sage, green apple, dried apple, white peach, lime, lime zest, fennel and anise. It’s held up very well for six years, with vibrant acidity and rich, creamy texture. Very long finish — 3 years ago
Elegant and mature, this Rhône style blend, leaning heavily on Syrah with Grenache and Terret Noir, shows raspberry, strawberry, black cherry, blackberry, grilled meat, forest floor and leather. It could use a bit more acidity to add to the vibrancy but otherwise the balance of fruit with velvety tannin is appealing. Very food friendly. — 2 months ago
Great value. Really enjoyed this. Red and black fruit, smooth. — 4 months ago
I tasted the 2024 Vermentino with my flight at Tablas Creek and bought a bottle to take home. Lovely fruity wine, very drinkable. I generally don’t like whites with strong minerality but found this one to be very palatable! — a year ago
Estate cabernet. Lavish blackberry fruit flavors expand with notes of mocha, baking spice, cigar box and pine. Rounded tannins and mouthwatering acidity converge on a beautifully textured finish. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc — 2 years ago
Seriously, so good. — 4 years ago
