The Hidden Northridge Vineyard Syrah 2018

John Howard
9.6

8000th wine on here and it’s a doozy! Beautiful raspberry and blueberry fruit, exotic barrel notes, integrated perfectly. White pepper. Stems. Umami. Super exotic. Top notch barrels. Lighter than expected. Best domestic syrah ever? Kinda… thanks for tuning in! 8000 now and more to go. Maybe not Hahahha — a month ago

Franc Hidden Vineyards Cabernet Franc Malbec 2017

ESF
8.9

This was 100% CF - no sign of age, inky, w/impressive aromas of cherry cough drop, herbaceous, white pepper, medicinal - old school vibes on nose. Bit unruly on palate, definitely felt the heat and finish had some astringency. Not a huge fan of Paso Robles fruit… Still a decent quaff and scratches itch for varietal CF. — 23 days ago

Charbonnieres Fleurie Gamay 2020

This wine was an excellent Beaujolais. It was very rich and strongly flavored, tasting of cranberries and pomegranates. I believe it is underrated here, although I also recognize that Beaujolais is not to everyone’s taste. The wine was very smooth, and had an excellent fruit nose. A top Beaujolais. — 2 years ago
