Jurisprudence Cabernet Sauvignon

2023 vintage via a Costco CA sample-4-pack. Fine, but wouldn’t buy again. Too fruity for me. — 5 months ago

Giacomo Fenocchio

Villero Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Poured into a Swan decanter immediately prior to service and enjoyed over a several hour period. The 2013 “Villero” pours a deep garnet with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and no signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with a gorgeous, powerful bouquet of dark and red fruits: black cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, tar, roses, talcum powder, and dry stony earth. On the palate the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, grippy a freaking delicious. This is showing really well but there is no end in sight. Drink now with patience but this should reward an even great bounty done the road and turn heads through 2045+. — 2 years ago

It’s so hard to let these sleep. Cheers!

@Jae Cho it really is. But when you have multiples, it’s a little easier to check in on a bottle and since it’s Villero, I feel like you can get away with early drinking

Musbrugger Grauer Burgunder 2016

Lyle Fass
9.4

This is an unreal wine. One of the best skin contact wines out there. What a color. Pink as a rose. But with a golden sheen. Color is never to be remarked on unless it is truly exceptional. That is the case with this wine. Nose is clean. Like Bounty clean. Amazing pink grapefruit. A lovely bitter element. So delicate and deep. Masterful. Palate is tangy and has so much sweet pink grapefruit and stunningly bracing minerality. Unreal clarity and purity. Endless finish. One of those 9.4’s that you question all night after why you didn’t give it a 9.5. — 5 years ago

Stolpman Vineyards

L'Avion Santa Ynez Valley Roussanne 2020

This wine has a rich, golden color. The nose offers a bounty of nice things. Lemons, apricots, almonds and vanilla, all wrapped up in buttery goodness. The palate is earthy, nutty and fruity all at once. The acidity is fresh and the finish long, with a good streak of salinity staying after the sip. — 3 years ago

Henry of Pelham Family Estate

Ontario Baco Noir 2020

This may be something of a guilty pleasure for me, as it seems that I am going decidedly against the grain by loving this one so much. I don't care though; this wine is just so soft and silky with a bounty of dark fruit, spice, and a bit of smoke. Just terrific. 100% Baco Noir. 6/5/22. — 4 years ago

Domaine Huet

Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2018

A summer day with friends spent near Red Hook, NY, harvesting the great bounty there. I forgot to snap a photo of bottle so had to rely on Delectable. This Huet Is generous young, given its rs I imagine. All about texture & balance, & that precision chenin blanc flavor ( as opposed to a broader profile with Chenins lower on totem pole). Enjoyed with roasted Sashito peppers, local sausage to start, then local beef burgers & rock fish cooked ‘en papillot’ w a cayenne butter sauce. Then off for a few swims in the local lake. — 6 years ago

Sanguis

Verve Grenache Blend

A Grenache blend like no other from the Alisos Canyon in Santa Barbara. A truly unique age-worthy blend of Grenache, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Roussanne grapes. Deliciously complex, bounty of red berries all over, graceful acidity and surprisingly mid-to-low tannins. Mouthfeel is exceptional and jumps a bit on the fruit side as it clears from the back end of the palate. — 2 years ago

Château de Fargues

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2008

2008 vintage. From the family that used to own Château d’Yquem until the turn of the century. 80% Semillon/20% Sauvignon Blanc. Vinified like d’Yquem and still a fantastic value. This is lights out, phenomenal juice. If you haven’t had, don’t miss out. Not a lot gets made so not exactly easy to find but definitely worth the time/trouble bounty hunting. — 3 years ago

Pooley

Butcher's Hill Pinot Noir 2020

When in Rome do as the Romans. Currently on Bruny Island south of Hobart and enjoying the local bounty like Oysters and Fish and this lovely Pinot Noir from Pooley who are in the Coal River district. Lovely aromatics of dried red and black cherry with a whole bunch influence. A light to medium weight palate. — 4 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2009

...drink this and keep the 2010 stored for a while! 2009 is fun to smell, swallow and drink. Great coconut (Bounty) nose with dill, leather and tobacco. Great taste of fruit and caramel, polished tannins and nice acidity. Superb
old style Rioja!

Domaine de Marcoux

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010

One of my last remaining 2010 CdP’s...from back when I was exploring the region. I’ve since only focused on a few specific producers but Marcoux is one that still has some of my attention...mostly because it’s hard to deny that it’s really good wine. This bottle seemed a touch reductive at first but that blew off with some time and what emerged was a bounty of brambles, sandalwood, garrigue, Twin Bing, some sediment...actually a lot of sediment. The tannins weren’t very obvious at first but after a couple of hours, the tannin monster showed up in full force. For whatever reason, this has happened to me on occasion with top wines from CdP and Gigondas. Not sure what causes that. Anyway, based off this experience, I would have to say that these still have quite a bit of life in them. In the same breath, however, I would exercise caution as I’ve witnessed too many Grenache based wines not age as gracefully. — 7 years ago
