Paul Hobbs

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Very wrongful but very necessary pairing. Paul Hobbs Napa Cab with “on the fly” turkey avocado sandwich. Intense ruby color with cocoa, oak, tabaco, dark fruit, cassis and leather on the nose. The pallet is full bodied and dry with medium high tannings, medium acidity and high alcohol. It feels like simple elegance: naked fruit with only the basic oak cloak, and a hint of dark chocolate to accentuate it all. What can I say? This is drinking, necessarily, on point. — 3 years ago

Stuart Cellars

Temecula Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Special Estate Reserve, This wine opens with a velvet cloak of leather, oak, bay and tea leaves. There is the fruit of super ripe plums and figs. The structure is still intact with firm tannins. The finish lasts long with some sweet and sour cherries. All the things one expects from a well aged wine. — 4 years ago

Château Léoville Poyferré

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2 hour decant and it’s barely peeking out from behind the cloak of tannins… — a year ago

Olek-Mery

Cuvée des Tireaux Chinon Cabernet Franc 1995

open 42 hours.....lost its heavy cola cloak and brightened up into something as charming as the label itself.....green fennel, touch of dill, fine herbs galore, falls into bright cherry, bitters, even a little citrus-cola in the back. a great find in the @chambers street shop, and a strong case for judging a book by its cover...... — 4 years ago

Riposte

The Dagger Pinot Noir

A nice Pinot Noir that matches well with my filet mignon I cooked up tonight. Need to sample more than the one glass to give a definitive review. I may prefer Oregon Pinots but it was a really great pairing to the meal. — 6 years ago

Young as all get out but fabulously delicious. Shows some green character from the vintage but it is offset by pure, elegant fruit and wrapped in a cloak silky tannins. Awesome wine — 3 years ago

More purple fruited and plummy than all the burgs enjoyed this evening. A baby but delicious none the less

Tolpuddle Vineyard

Tasmania Chardonnay 2018

Mineral mania! This stinks so good and slaps so hard of smoky flint shaped into a dagger someone rounded the edges off on. It doesn’t cut like a knife but teases the tongue with a sparkling (except it’s not) gleaming sensation cuts then softens then gives one last teasing punch toward the (god help me I’m about to use the term “back palate” I tend to hate dividing my palate) back palate. Oh yes it does. Goddess DAMN that’s good. — 5 years ago

@Ellen Clifford Tolpuddle has been a stunning Tasmanian newcomer on the Aussie wine scene. If you get a chance Ellen also try the Pinot - equally as good. 👌👌
