Been hanging on to this for 12 years; yikes. From Jason at Solano Cellars. At La Posta in Santa Cruz. Not quite past it yet! But waiting for the character. Tight on nose, not too past it lacking perspective so far. — a year ago

Leonetti Cellar

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Visiting friends who I know Iove this style of wine. Beautiful nose of red fruit and plums along with vanilla. In the mouth powerfully extracted fruit but very well-balanced with a good dollop of acid. Silky smooth tannins well contained with a 3 hour decant.Thanks @Jason Soloway — 5 years ago

The Brawler Calaveras County Syrah Viognier 2015

My 700th wine! Recommended to me by @Jason Oliver, he was spot on!

This wonderfully toes the line between Californian and Australian styles. There is the heft and bramble berry but also the olive bacon fat. A great wine indeed!

Tasting awesome at 4 years. I would guess this was from France. Some funk, cherries, herbs, mouthwatering acidity, strawberry, river rock. So freaking good. Maybe best CA gamay I’ve had? — 3 years ago

This wine is so good, it should not be overlooked. Apparently, Kistler (Jason Kesner) produces this wine for restaurants. But that doesn’t mean us mere mortals can’t enjoy it at home. Some would consider this a mass-market proposition, but it’s anything but that. It possesses a transparency of an individual story, which is easy to read. There are no missing pages or chapters. This wine is well structured and prismatic in terms of its complexity, layers and minerality. Butterscotch, honey and calcium pierce the taste buds, and at a price I consider to be reasonable for such an outstanding product. Check out Kistler’s website. They hide nothing. It screams about very considered wine-making at its very best. Consider this for short-term cellaring only. — 3 years ago

I totally agree Ron, except for your conclusion about the aging potential. I have drink several for 10 up to 20 years old bottles, and every time it was party time!

@Willem Booij, totally respect your viewpoint on this wine. As a rule of thumb, Kistler is certainly age worthy. This wine presented very little acidity, and it was for this reason that I felt that this wine would not further improve with age. It’s a beautiful specimen now. No need to risk it decaying prematurely, IMO.

The Eyrie Vineyards

BlackCap Pinot Noir 2009

“ A bird, a mushroom, and a berry, all native to Oregon. A limited production from Heritage vines, this cuvée is composed of 20 barrels. Vinified traditionally, the song, the savor and in the sweetness of the blackcap are manifest here, in a Pinot Noir that embodies its origins.” Jason Lett. — 7 years ago
