Perli Vineyard Syrah 2018
Assume that’s the vineyard in the inked drawing on the label. Fancy stuff at $48 per bottle…
Lovely deep red to purple color. Smells like musk, woods, campfire on your clothes. Maybe a cranberry or elderberry tone under it all. Interesting smell to it for sure. Flavors are also interesting. Old time tonics and herbal extractions. More elderberry stuff. Absinthe. Or is that Jegermister? The fruit is there too, but it’s under the savory and strange stuff. This is a wine to age. But it’s good now too if you are into the strange and earthy side of Syrah. A true terroir driven drinking experience. I can see the coast valleys of Mendo in the flavors. — 3 years ago

The Field Blend GSM Grenache Blend 2019
It’s a GSM but the nose smell Carignane-ish with loads of dark, tangy, slightly bitter cherry, savory mineral notes. Like an old school CDR (pre-global warming)on the nose with loads of roasted herbs and savory iodine-inflected minerality competing with the zingy black cherry fruit. Very nice. 9.2 — 2 years ago

This bottle was opened several hours prior to service and enjoyed over the course of six days. Yes, 6 days. I kept it under cork and refrigerated. It was delicious throughout. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart, black and red fruits: cassis, mixed brambles, plum, tobacco, cool and warm spices and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2046. — 3 months ago
