One of the best Italian wines by one of the best ever Italian wine makers, the recently passed giant of the craft, Emidio Pepe. Heavenly rich with southern Italian orchard fruit, herbs, honey. — 9 days ago

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Complex nose of red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, dark coffee, light mildew, spices, tobacco leaf and light forest floor.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, licorice and black pepper.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 32 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Carmel Valley is still drinking beautifully, but not at its peak anymore.

Still showing enough fruits for the acidity, tangy and interesting. Complex and very entertaining.

It's always a great experience to drink these kind of aged wines.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a Single Vineyard. Unfiltered and unfined.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

At Flying Goat, the goal is to produce unpretentious, playful wines while retaining a serious quality focus and commitment to a purity of expression from single-vineyard sites such as the Solomon Hills Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Rancho Santa Rosa, to name a few.

This intention is reinforced by everything from the whimsical labels (Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles, YNOT), to the critical acclaim Flying Goat Cellars has garnered for its impressive wines, to the impeccably balanced and delicious Pinot Noir and vintage, traditional method sparkling wines.

This 2016 blanc de noirs sparkler — made with Pinot Noir hailing from the Bien Nacido Vineyard — is medium gold in appearance, with a fine and creamy mousse, and fresh notes of just-ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, lemon zest, citrus blossom, biscuit, toast, brioche, toasted almond, and marzipan. It has a lingering, elegant finish.

Delightful. Great, light, flavorful Pinot - drinking really well. Paired w/ tasty toasted goat cheese crostini + light spinach salad w/ balsamic/mustard. I think Ojai pinots are a treat & great value. — 6 years ago

Aromatic in that “saucy” baijiu way, nutty, yeasty and savory rice. Salinity in the background - much enhanced by (liquid) olives! Also, why has no one made a dirty (with olive juice) sherry spritzer yet?? @ Mercado Little Spain — 8 days ago

N: Salty dried butterscotch/caramel, Seashore, old boats, rot in the best of ways.
P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,
heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.
Varnish lacquer,

Petroleum, honeysuckle, yellow cake, and lavender nose. On the palate more petrol, peach nectar, honey, ruby red grapefruit, gunpowder, white pepper, with a powerful petrol after nose. I might have called this a quality german trocken Riesling in a blind test. This is a fabulous Viognier in the french style. — 6 years ago
