Estate Bottled Rutherford Merlot 2012

Surprisingly delicious at 10 years of age. Wonderful ripe Napa jelly fruit. Surprisingly good acid, the tannins have receded but still provide some structure. Rarely drink Napa merlot but this is compelling. Certainly somewhat biased by the fact that I worked on this vineyard in 2011. Nice pairing with skirt steak on the grill. — 4 years ago

Estate Bottled Coeur de Vigne Rutherford Red Blend 2015

Ming L
9.3

A charming left bank blend with a high percentage of CF for 15’. Blueberry, cassis, espresso, dried herbs, and lavender. Hint of crushed rocks too. Medium to full body. A harmonious palate with round gentle acidity, lush texture, and grainy yet polished firm elegant tannins. Lingering lightly candied finish.
Finesse and classy, yet so approachable.

Heart of the Vineyard Red Blend 2012

It’s always easy to be biased for a wine you had some small part in contributing to (I worked at the vineyard right before this harvest) but this is authentically excellent. Has aged extremely well. With a 1.5 hour decant and a slight chill, the classic dusty Rutherford fruit with very nice acid on the finish comes through in spades. Very long finish and quite in balance. Perfect pairing with some beautiful dry aged strip steaks to round out Thanksgiving weekend. — 7 months ago

@Pooneet K, super happy that you were able to drink a wine that you had a hand in making!! I won’t buy Sullivan, as nearly 40 years ago, I had a “not great” experience with the winery and their wines!!

Sullivan Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

2012. Tropical pineapple core and crisp vanilla oak made for a delicious pairing with grilled bacon-wrapped turkey tenderloins. Love to have warm winter days to fire up the Weber! — 4 years ago

Rain Baw Baw Shire Pinot Noir Blend 2019

Incredible as always. I enjoy this style of wine in between light red and rich rosé. Rain is a subtle story. Forest berries compote, white pepper, pomegranate, underbrush and red flowers. Almost perfectly balanced, juicy and delicious. I would drink this wine every day. Casually.

Tasted as part of Mixed Bag Vol. 1.

Millstream Baw Baw Shire Chardonnay 2018

Listen, this is super elegant white burgundy vibes with some distant tropicalia that is absolutely enticing. Full disclosure I’ve been out on Patrick’s farm the last few days but oh my god his new stuff is killing it. Statuesque. — 6 years ago
