Minerals excelsior!
N:Peaches and rockks, apricots, all just this side of ripe. Cantaloupe lurking in the background, lemons, straw.
P: Quince, citrus, nice acidity (lots), lip puckering with the minerals still present.
Delicious with pork sausages over rhubarb & chard.

It’s 95F outside, and it’s the end of the workweek. Does this can taste of heirloom cider apples, slightly sweet (no, call it “almost dry”) and kick ass at 8.5% alc/vol? Yes, yes indeed it does. Another superior cider from Schilling. Why can’t the national brands match this level of quality? Why indeed... — 5 years ago

This is the 2013 Tertulia Estate Reserve Excelsior (Walla Walla Valley). It’s 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot. And it’s delicious. Ripe cassis and plummy fruit, ashy, stony minerality, and a hint of eucalyptus. Soft, rich, and ripe, but with really nice balance. Only 13.5% abv. Purchased at the winery in May 2018. — 7 years ago

Now that’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore in excelsior! Liquid black plums and some tar on the nose. Inhale deeply and you get some Asian spices on the fringes.
That palate…oh my. Liquid velvet. Dark as midnight. Plums, licorice, nice acidity,
deep, long, long, finish. Some minerals on the end.
Wowza!
Possibly better than her Barolo. Gulp.

Deep red purplish color. Smells so cherry-y. Incredibly smooth with a velvety warm finish. Not as fruit forward as the west coast cabs I'm used to but I like it!! — 7 years ago
