Formation Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Smells like blackberry, dried cranberry (that one courtesy of my wife), and milk chocolate. Clearly good quality. Some slight baking spice. And dill? Tastes good! Less blackberry than the nose, a little more cherry and drier than expected. Still some slight dill. Silky. Like it! Killer deal for the $10 I paid (close out) - would be fine at $20. — 3 years ago

Terra d'Uva Greco di Tufo

Lady winemakers during the “Formation” themed month at a Maxwell!! 👯‍♀️💕 Apparently the soil on this vineyard is so sulfuric that it’s lime green. Wild! Crisp and acid but still round and well balanced — 7 years ago

Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1998

Well shit. Wildly expressive nose of tea, kirsch, saddle, fennel and sage. Started off too cold but with temperature increase opened up to a beautiful, elegant style CDP with cherry, blackberry, and all sorts of rustic garrigueness. A smoky, blue fruit finish. Tannins and acidity and alcohol all in perfect formation. Just awesome — 7 years ago

Voodoo Ranger 1985 IPA

Pineapple-grapefruit look blasts a big-bubbled white puff with even stacking. Igneous lacing formation churns into Pahoihoi. Grapefruit and pineapple match the drapes, with the pineapple turning jell-o with cream topping. Papaya and mango make the rounds, ripely. Clean palate of zesty lemon wrapped around just ripe mango, and a tangerine thing that rounds it to mango texture. Minerally pineapple suggests a weightless and steely finish, but the lime drops the dime to call it home. Good rotation back to white raspberry! #newbelgium #newbelgiumbrewing #voidooranger #ipa #indiapaleale #newbelgiumvoodoorangernineteeneightyfiveipa #voodoorangernineteeneightyfive #newbelgium1985 #1985ipa #beer #bier #biere #birra #rotatingseriesbeer — 4 years ago

This is peak "dog-walking bubbles" in the BEST possible way.

Estate Beamsville Bench Riesling 2013

Showing beautifully! From Beamsville Bench not too far from my hometown of Detroit. A wondrous geological formation and exceptional terroir for riesling. Minerals, lemon, fennel crunch. — 7 years ago

Weingut Heymann-Löwenstein

Grosse Lage Uhlen L Laubach Riesling

Heymann Löwenstein Uhlen Laubach 2017 is a remarkable wine, especially with its modest price. A pronounced, gunpowder/ Crushed stone minerality embedded in a perfectly ripe and nuanced fruit profile. Wonderful presence on the palate with a cut through acidic spine in an athletic surrounding that is marching across the palate in a legion like formation over the finish line. Despite being youthful with a long life ahead its already offers so much pleasure already. — 5 years ago

Arcus Estate Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2015

9.2

Arcus fruit comes from a notable vineyard due to its formation and hill location. The nose is more opulent and shows depth. Palette displays maraschino cherries, brown sugar and a whiff of tobacco. Perfect tannin/acid balance - no food required. All of these wines will cellar well. — 7 years ago

@Ira Schwartz the 15’s show a step-change in a better direction. Richer, more dense, so decadent.
