The Lonely Bird

Lonely cow

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Green grassy notes on the nose with grape peel. Bright taste with hint of dryness. Grass, apple, lemon, and pith/rind. Smooth for drinking, light and fresh without being too sharp. — 16 days ago

Silver Thread

Black Bird Cabernet Franc Blend 2015

Dark fruit forward, juicy blackberry, blueberry, and plum, underbrush and earth, resolved tannins and excellent lift. Wonderful. Maybe the best red I’ve had from the Finger Lakes. — 3 years ago

Bird in Hand

Nest Egg Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

This was quite a surprise. While not the giant backbone you’d expect from a Cali cab, it had a nice Viscosity on the pallet and a longer finish. The tannins not fully integrated for its age, with a higher acidity level. Drank more like a Bordeaux blend. — 6 years ago

So this probably isn’t “exquisite” because the flavor is so simple and crisp … but that’s what I love about it. — 4 years ago
