Nose: Leather, black licorice turning to green pepper notes.
A bit hot, it relaxes a bit with a decant. Short finish, the taste doesn't offer the depth and complexity that is suggested through the nose.

This reserve release of the always superlative Pilot Hill Gang Cabernet Blend is labeled a Cabernet Sauvignon, so this one is at least 75% Cab, with the rest most likely Merlot. There is a bit of oak to the body, but not overmuch. The tannic structure is big; imagine Rutherford dust turned up to 11 😸 The overall flavor might be described as dried black currant and unsweetened dark chocolate. Perhaps there is a splash of Petit Verdot in the mix? Kudos Mr. Parish! — 7 years ago

This was a delightful chorus of midweight emotion and balanced verve. The Chambourcin indeed adds a front/mid palate variation to the routine Bordeaux blending recipe. A touch of Rhône is revealed! — 8 years ago

This is an experimental wine by Oliver winery in Bloomington Indiana. Quite possibly the very best moscato wine I have ever tasted. Light, slightly bubbly with a delicate blueberry taste. Hope this experiment makes it all the way through!!!! — 9 years ago

How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?

(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Counter-Clockwise from top left:
Buffalo Trace (single-barrel selection), Jefferson's Reserve Very Old/Very Small Batch, Knob Creek (9yo), Kirkland Bourbon (7yo), St George single-malt (SM 015), Hillrock (Ancram NY, solera aged, Barrel No. 174), Berkshire Mountain Distillers Shay's Rebellion and Wild Turkey Master's Keep (Batch 0001, 17yo). — 5 years ago

Excellent wine. Matt Parish is one to watch. Huge dark fruit flavors, full body, and a brooding mix of tobacco and leather. Long finish. Highly recommend. — 6 years ago

They do actually have other wines here, but this is a favorite. Great acid and sugar balance. The knob on both feels a bit more turned up on the '16 vs the '15. — 9 years ago

2015 is equally flavorful as earlier vintages. One of my favorite pilot noirs at a reasonable able price. — 9 years ago

Exactly what I was hoping for. Malbec the way my tongue likes it. Pork chops were my co-pilot. — 7 years ago
