Testa dei Cherubini Eleven Confessions Vineyard Grenache 2014
Not all wines are made the same. Saxum, Andremily, and others are made in a similar style (even some CdPs, Cote Rotie’s) but don’t get the same comments.
We’ll agree mostly but. One needs to still look 👀 at these as a Somm at a major restaurant.
@Shay A You know I have been buying & enjoying Saxum for many years, not one vintage of Saxum has ever shown hot alcohol period or the way SQN does. Justin knows how to ferment alcohol in a way SQN does not care to. I have studied w/ 7 Master Somm’s for months & months before passing my Sommelier exam. They have on many occasions have referred to hot alcohol as a wine flaw and I have never disagreed w/ that statement. But I love 80’s Bordeaux’s at 12-12.5%. It is the modern wine drinker that appreciates high alcohol because there is a fair amount out there to consume. It is this that has defined the modern wheelhouse. It is what modern consumers have come to know and has created a palate preference or comfort. Cheers!

Subir Eleven Confessions Syrah 2016
+3 hour decant(some cloudy sediment). A striking deep purplish magenta color. On the nose: subdued notes of black fruit, leather, smoked meat, floral, cloves. Taste: smooth, rich, lush, balanced wine with blackberry, graphite, charred meat, saline, pepper, and a minerally dark chocolate espresso long finish. YUM! — 5 months ago

This cab was awesome. Great notes of berries and really smooth, no strong overtones and sips well. With Napa crew — a year ago

2018 vintage. Medium body. Lightest bodied-white or red-I've ever had from SQN. That said, still waay too much to love afoot. Interesting with this wine retaining the SQN style without emphasizing/doubling down on the more overt tendencies that the winery is known for. The exception that proves the rule. A mere baby and there's nothing that another 7-8 years wouldn't improve. 04.09.25. — 15 days ago
