Full bodied, soft on the palate, black berries and black current with hints of spice and chocolate. A new favorite! — 4 months ago
A nicely aged wine at its pinnacle. Smooth, integrated tannins with dark fruit and leather. Good acidity but still pleasing without food. Some whisps of smoke on the backend. — 8 months ago
One of America’s best, in winemaker Maggie Harrison. Great to find this on a list with a bit of age. There’s such a beguiling combination of savory earth, mineral and rich cherry fruit flavors, with killer concentration, a plush texture and serious length. Top notch Domestic Pinot for sure. — 15 days ago
Really loved this Barossa Shiraz! Reminds me of my early days of exploring the great Aussie Shiraz scene — 4 months ago
Out of magnum: Stunning and powerful. Poured it along side grand crus and precious other magnums. Every glass poured was met with dilated pupils. Prosciutto, unripe figs. A wine you can smell at distance. — 7 months ago
1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Dark fruit and cough medicine, with hints of prunes and baking spices on the nose. Cough medicine and more alcohol than I expected on the palate. Zero oak and lacks structure. Medium depth and the wine really coates the palate and sticks to your teeth. Medium plus finish. Good, just not my style.
Downgrading from 93 as this has become very harsh in the palate and fruit is gone. — 2 months ago
Juicy and pepper. Smooth. — 4 months ago
