Very tasty! Grenache (45%), Syrah ;35%), Mourvèdre (15%), Roussanne (5%). Really nice balance of complexity and drinkablility. Not super fruit forward. From Chile. — a year ago

Estate Tasmania Pinot Noir 2015

Bob McDonald

9.1

Mid crimson in colour. Notes of plum , raspberry and stalky notes. Ripe and fulsome on the palate Sweet Plums and Rhubarb flavours with earthy notes. Medium palate weight with medium plus intensity. From Australia’s most southerly vineyard in the Huon Valley of Tasmania. Has become somewhat of a cult boutique wine with a prolific record of medals and Trophies on the Australian Show Circuit. — 4 years ago

Donna Elena Piemonte DOC Barbera 2012

Kyle Harvey

9.2

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 — 7 years ago

Barbera that passes as a Cab?

Spinifex

Bête Noir Shiraz 2020

Bob McDonald

9.1

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. — 2 years ago

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. — 5 years ago

Guyot Douro White Blend 2016

Fredrik Finn

9.0

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. — 5 years ago
