Antelope Rio Arriba County Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2014

9.1

I enjoy this off-the-beaten-path New Mexico wine. It’s a Bordeaux blend that’s starting to show some interesting secondary characteristics, but is still a bit tart. May need more time or more air. $40 or so? — 4 months ago

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2019

Very soft scent - lemon, citrus, grass. Lingering lasting flavour! Antelope, citrus, mandarin. Coats the mouth. AU$110 — 2 years ago

Gavarini Vigna Chiniera Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

Opened at 2:30. Double decanted just prior to dinner. Tight and tannic. Took awhile to coax it out of its shell. Went great with porcini rubbed antelope steaks. My 1500th wine on Delectable!! — 4 years ago

Hermann York Wine

A Lone Wolf Bob Munoa Ranch 2020

Opened and brought to a Charity dinner. So many wines open, so this was hardly touched. Brought home and enjoyed over nine (yes 9) days. Made as a Rosé, this wine has some weight to it. Wonderful first effort from the Hermann York team, who are making excellent wines from SoCal old vine vineyards in Antelope Valley, Rancho Cucamonga and others. This one is from a 120 year old own-rooted vineyard on the Pechanga Reservation near Temecula, planted 60 years prior to the current commercial vineyards in the area. Mission, Grenache and probably some hybrids, as the vineyard had been abandoned for about 60 years. This had plenty of CO2 to keep it alive, with a nice Champagne pop even on day 8. A good group of guys making fun and interesting wines! — a year ago

Hermann York Wine

Los Empleados Chavez Vineyard Red Blend 2020

Another entrant in the burgeoning So Cal winemaking scene. Met Dusty Herrmann and the York brothers when they were picking Mission and Grenache in the Bob Munoa vineyard last fall. This one is from the high desert of Antelope Valley, and is an interesting and fun field blend of Alicante Bouchet, Chardonnay, Muscat, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Viognier and Zin. Dark Rosé color, beautifully expressive nose, and light on its feet at 13.15%. Only had a small taste, but enjoyed it enough to order two bottles, along with their Mission, Alicante Bouschet Rosé and Amber Muscat. Certainly an interesting new project! — 3 years ago

Need to me that anyone is even growing wine grapes there. Any idea which kind of Muscat grapes these are?

Hi David - this is Muscat of Alexandria, planted by the late Efren Chavez circa 1999 at 2600’ elevation. The wine is made by Hermann York, which is a collaboration of Dusty Hermann with brothers Garret and Taylor York out of Redlands CA. They are on their 3rd vintage. ABV on this wine is 12.42%, with a single barrel produced. From Chavez, they also make an Alicante Bouschet, and the beautiful Los Empleados (13.15%), a blend of Alicante Bouschet, Chardonnay, Muscat, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Viognier and Zinfandel. Check out herrmannyork.wine or @hermannyorkwine on IG for more info. Good guys, fun wines!
