Pre Prohibition Prerogative

Jim Beam

Rye Pre-Prohibition Style Whiskey

酒精感感觉比普通的波本要强一些,但是多了许多麦芽的香气,整体更偏甜美一些,但感觉还是波本喝得更惯。 — 2 years ago

Howell Mountain Old Vine Zinfandel 2012

When was the last time you drank wine from 106 year old vines? I just love tuned texture, nuance, dark fruits, dried herbs, neutral spice and just great fruit flavor. I marvel at drinking wines from pre- prohibition vines. Thank you Cellar Angels! — 10 years ago

Scar of the Sea

Lopez Vineyard Zinfandel 2020

Vines from 1918, pre-prohibition on protected land, what’s not to like?

Sold!

Rich plummy, soupy bouquet.

Rich, fruity forward, a bit of spice. More than your standard Zin, this present almost like a Primitivo.

Savory notes mix with peppercorn spice and smoke and berries all throughout.

Tasty, surprising, and novel.

9.3 for the Cucamonga Valley? Impressive.

Nelson's Green Brier Distillery

Louisa's Liqueur

Named after the Nelson family's pre-Prohibition matriarch who helped keep the business afloat upon her husband's death, Louisa's Liqueur is Nelson's Green Brier's latest release. A satisfyingly sweet digestif without being saccharine, this easy sipper tastes like a slice of pecan pie aside a cup of café au lait. — 8 years ago

A Tribute to Grace Wines

Hofer Vineyard Grenache 2014

I love @Angela Osborne 's Grenache, but was a bit skeptical on this one. The story was intriguing, pre-prohibition own-rooted vines planted in sand..and growing in the shadow of Ontario Airport east of Los Angeles. Did I mention Cucamonga Valley? But I should have known that Angela wouldn't have picked it if it wasn't special. Greatly exceeded expectations. Color was lighter than some Rosès, but this was no lightweight. Fragrant nose, nice acidity, a bit of earth and stems, but strawberry and just a nice purity to it. Best at cellar temp. Easy quaffer and a joy to drink. — 10 years ago

9.2

Exceptional Turley! From old vines in contra costa county (pre prohibition). This is voluptuous and complex with notes of fresh plum, cinnamon and dried cranberry. This could use a couple years in bottle but honestly why wait? Lovely example of the Turley style. — 7 years ago

Opened a bottle last week. Extremely impressed now, but very excited to see what this wine will do in a few years. Cheers!

Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

A small family-owned estate in St. Helena, Napa Valley,dating back to the 1800s, with formal gardens, pre-prohibition buildings and 40-acre, organically farmed estate making very limited quantities of Sauv Blanc and Cab Sauvignon. Deep aromas of dark fruits and intense spice. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Blackberry and blueberry flavors, currents and cassis, pepper, leather and cacao, complex. Perfect structure, lingering with mineral spice. Wow! Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago
