White Oak Lavender Farm & The Purple Wolf
Dragonfly Traminette Chardonnay
What a pleasant surprise! Lavender on the nose. Sweet wine up front balanced by a slight bitterness from the lavender. The flavor is strong; if you don’t like lavender, you won’t like this wine. Excellent for pairing with sharp cheeses and breads, or for curling up my the fire on a warm spring evening. — 3 years ago

Izumibashi Shuzo
Black Dragonfly Kurotonbo Kimoto Junmai
Izumibashi Black Dragonfly “Kurotonbo” Kimoto Junmai. This is Kimoto style sake which if I understand correctly refers to how they prepare the Koji mold. Color has a slight yellow tint, less than straw-like. I get almost nothing on the nose. The weight is slightly heavier than water and I’m guessing +2 but I don’t have this calibrated yet. Slight bitterness on the palate as it warms, was what I would call sweet initially. Finish lingers for a long time. Will be interesting to hear the pro comments. Not sure on the rice. — a year ago

Machado Creek Vineyard Petite Sirah 2015
Big ole beefy bottle. Fancy. Does that mean it’s going to be good? Maybe that it should be aged long? Anyway, pretty cool etched dragonfly on the label. So dark ya can’t look through it in the glass. Smells lovely. Sweet alfalfa blossoms with olives and something musky. Has an herbal side as well. Fenugreek? Fennel? Forests? It’s lovely on the tongue. Savory. Is that bacon? Lamb and prune stew? Or popcorn seasoned with butter, smoked chiles and nutritional yeast? As savory of a red as I’ve every tried. The seasoned pork thing really hits on this. Hint of fruit. Maybe dried plum? Definitely slightly sweet good cured olives. Dark black licorice as well. Drying on the finish. Chewy as Chewbacca’s throaty yelp. If you like big Petite’s and you cannot lie this fits right in your wheelhouse. — 5 years ago
