One of my absolute favorites. Ripe fruits with a hint of spice and a structured finish. On the liter side for a petite Syrah, almost refreshing. A great wine to share, as it is very easy to drink. Let it sit 30 min before drinking. — 5 years ago

Dinner w Bryan and Katy at Crown Super Deluxe, a fancy Benihana w JAPANESE FRUIT TOMATOES and lobster that jumps off the plate and proper Japanese A5 Wagyu (not some American imitation shit). The wine: a Cab franc merlot that’s lighter than you would expect. A recommendation from the house that was a delicious end to the meal, and was perfect w the Wagyu. — 6 years ago

Striking fresh ripe black currant at the start, with dryer tobacco notes from the glass, cranberry from the close up and an amazing evolution — 7 years ago

I was at the winery many years ago the day that Sophia Coppola was up for her Oscar for Lost in Translation. I always thought of this as just a brand before that, but watching the tasting room volunteers beam with pride that day reminds me that the wine truly comes from the people that produce it. I know that sounds cheesy. I saw this in the liquor store for a decade before I bought it years ago. And now that many, many years have passed since those early wine years for me, I look at this wine fondly. Which is really what wine is all about. — 8 years ago

2018 vintage. Umm...yeah..about this wine...showstopping and seductive. Both big and supple. Deluxe plushy. Tannins relegated to future considerations. Supposedly 90% Grenache and difficult to fathom given both the intensity of dark color and the softness in said dark color. Wouldn't trot this out for someone's first big CDP as representative of the appellation but as a finisher in a lineup of 10+ CDP's? Absolutely. This is one of those wines that leads to an (unhealthy) obsession. Burn after reading and you never saw this. — 3 years ago

Papaya, melon, lemongrass, honey, and cola.

Bubbly bubbly. Woah. Apple cider like quality. Vivacity. Cola-like essence. Blades of grass, for sure. Kind of an odd, yet still refreshing, Riesling. — 6 years ago

Piggybacking on @Anthony Lombardi ‘s music/wine combinations, this Pfalz Riesling is gorgeous, a perfect accompaniment to ghosht kari, along with Sade’s masterpiece song suite Love Deluxe. White peach, bracing acidity, petrol, salinity, extraordinarily bright golden hue...amazing QPR. — 8 years ago
