2013 Bevan Moaveni "Ode To M" Syrah. A tribute to my friend and idol Manfred Krankl, the bottle was gifted to me by my great friend @DAG , a man whose heart and generosity is almost as big as his mustache. But back to the wine, camphor, berries and licorice on the nose. The palate is an explosion of sweet blueberry compote with notes of barbecued meats and lavender. Super, super rich. Incredibly pure. Endless finish. A beautiful tribute that I'll not soon forget. Thanks Dag! — 8 years ago
This is the apogee of Red Riesling. Red wedding. Billy Idol would be impressed. Red cherries. Sour cherries. Bergamot. Red currents. Spice and engaging herbaciousness. Just so transparent and nimble. Loads of earthiness and dust. So complex and alive. Hint of citrus rind. Gorgeous. Palate is so juicy, energetic and engaging. Omg this is red Riesling on the palate like nothing else. So pure. So transparent. Fruit had a hint of sweetness but it’s awash in minerality. So complete and balanced. Just zen on the palate. It’s so complex, yet so so delicious and just incredible drinkable with dynamic freshness and wonderful energy and length. Lithe tannins that are so refined. — 5 years ago
This makes it to the top of my “find again and buy some bottles “ list so far. Cold, crisp, not sticky sweet, but won’t make you pucker. $13 for 3oz pour. #Bottlerock Since Billy Idol was onstage while I sipped this, I feel I should be able to add him to the “who are you drinking with?” list. — 6 years ago

TJ’s cab. I rate it high because it tastes like a very good $30 wine at $8 price! The classy guy at TJ recommended it to me… will buy more!!! Lodi = Idol — 3 years ago
