With John and Noelle. Full bodied with licorice and baking spice. Earthy forest floor, rainy skies and brooding mushrooms in the dark. Love. — a year ago

This the Calico California Syrah, which is a blend from all over CA. Bedrock dumps it in barrel, stirs it up, and as usual a very nice wine ends up in the bottle! I must be the first to drink! — 4 years ago

Sepia filter courtesy of smoke filled skies here in Oakland. If the end of the world is coming we better get drinking. Let’s start with some regal Chasselas. Six years in the bottle this is starting to pick up some weight with hints of butterscotch on top of the lemongrass and citrus pith notes you’d expect from this stony little white. Quite delicious. — 4 years ago

Dried pea, white mushroom, dried rose petal, rubber plant, lemon essence, wonton, white pepper nose. On the palate, less subdued and stratified with rich veins of lively golden apple, mouth-watering lemon, crystalline pineapple, lime oil, and salted lime and candied grapefruit peel. Finally, carroway seed ghosts in rye skies glittering with lemon-salt skies.

Great WA State Cab, had Calico from Bergevin and enjoyed it. Moonspell is on a another plane. Soft Tannins, dark red fruit, slight vanilla. Got it for under $15 online at Wine Library. — 4 years ago

Cheers to more blue skies in northern California! 💙 The 2017 Syrah, Grenache, Mataro from Ridge Vineyards is a lovely new world GSM blend 🍷

62% Syrah
27% Grenache
11% Mataro (Mouvedre)

This Syrah dominated wine exhibits aromas of red currant, raspberries, plums, thyme, cedar, oak, and some pepper. On the palate, you'll get a fruit driven viscous sensation probably as a result of the malolactic fermentation. The seemingly sweet tobacco flavors linger on the palate with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

14.2% ABV. Medium-plus body.

This Southern Rhone style wine did great on a Thursday night! 🍷

Cheers!

Beach me up vibes all day baby. Smells like white peaches and clear skies and seashells. Zings on the tongue and you need that warming zing if like me you are gonna dip into the Pacific (soon I hope anyway I love the sea). The palate is chilled melon, gushing wet stone, and some sort of flower whose name I’ll never remember.
It’s terrible, I can name 7 synonyms for Tempranillo, but when it come to the rest of all botanica I can’t get it together.
Anyway. This finishes a with a hit of grapefruit flavor so from stone fruits to melon to citrus it runs the fruit gamut.
Gushing wet stone is the through-line. I don’t know if it has a dramatic arc but I don’t think it needs it. — 3 years ago

A dark ruby red color. Big nose! Raspberry, cherry tart jumps from the glass with a floating aroma of forest floor and green herbs lingering. A tart cherry juicy flavor hits the tip and mid pallet. A mandarin peel floating in strawberry spice toasted herbs gives the wine a long smooth finish with definite tannins still present. Smokey skies outside so a nice early evening inside drinking a good Pinot with Nachos! — 4 years ago
