Dec 23rd, 2016It's Baseball & BBQ night. Go Giants! I Coravin'ed four wines to see which would pair better with pork ribs, pulled pork, seasoned baked beans & slaw. Started with the Pinot...that worked pretty well w/ the ribs but not necessarily the spicy beans. Then, the 07 Hope & Grace Malbec. That went ok. I think the H&G Malbec is perfect solo. Third...was the 09 Ridge Carignane. This was the more classic pairing...yum. However, the 05 DuMol Syrah was the real winner for all four of us. It's worked well with the beans spice and the BBQ sauce. Handled both worlds of strong spice in the beans and the sweet and light spice in the BBQ sauce. Fun experiment.

Quite possibly best Cali Syrah ever tasted. dark figs, mocha and blackberry preserves. Explosive midpalate with toasted spices, and cracked peppercorns. Outstanding

Jul 3rd, 2016Crazy good. Rich, elegant, smooth. Dark currant heaven mixed with melted milk chocolate and just a whiff of white and black pepper. Bring on the braised short ribs.

Aug 2nd, 2014Dark mocha- Brown sugar - concentrated red/ruby fruits, mouthwatering but borderline jammy - oak tannins seem to provide the structure - 91 points - lost to Pegau 1997 CNDP (13 to 9) but may not have been a fare fight:: France vs California by learnaboutwine.com 5.25.14 #delectable #wine
