Camel Hill Vineyards Syrah 2016

Left Bend - Santa Cruz Mountains - Camel Hill Vineyard - Syrah - 2016

Great fruit and terrior, oak notes could sit 2 years. Oak was good, a lil coconutty (for my taste) but very tasty now and should mellow nicely with a just lil more time.

Get some for now and some for later.

Kanzemer Sonnenberg Auslese Riesling 2003


Just underipe mango spice with the slightest residual mineral mouth buzz, citruses like lemon and grapefruit with wildflower or clover honey, pear sweetness, a lingering camel light tobacco leaf, gasoline finish like I drank it from a plastic tank. 7.5%: very good on a humid day, refreshing, thirst quenching. The acid develops in the air, getting more citrusy and slightly bitter, becomes more piquant and the honey becomes more beeswaxy. It expands in the mouth, poolside finish is long.

Superb, English expression of champers.
Muscular nose of straw, brine, bread and summer fruits. Big, aggressive bubbles on the palate. Finishes taught with bright acidity. English wine at its best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Nice @Ron R . I’ve had a few English Sparklers that have really surprised me in a good way. Have you had Nyetimber or Gusbourne?

@Shay A, just gonna buy some Nyetimber tomorrow. It just blew away some top French champagne in a blind tasting. Look out folks! Hey @Byron C Mayes, the British are coming 👊🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I should correct myself with flags since the Union Jack 🇬🇧 is the British flag, while St. George’s cross is the English flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Herold Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Wednesday night and went to cellar and lately I have been digging into holes looking for wine I don't normally go to - why - well you bought it so you need to drink it - my wife is not happy with my judgement and craves her 9.4 and higher rated Napa cab - so that said as a qualifier I say this

Decanted 2 hours and first sip is not bad - actually I like it - but the normal posse (WNH) would never be served this in visiting for they would as I do not call this BiG BOLD BEAUTIFUL

What I call this -- color is nice and works with its dark reddish color - smell and taste is a little short of the goal but surprising in not trying to disguise with pepper - more black fruits and currants than you might expect - finish also surprised me and reminded me of the white label by Mark - it was at least a minute

I think all this is summed best by using
@Antonio Galloni review which I restate as [91-93pts Vinous] The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Herold by Mark Herold is mostly about pure energy and tension at this stage. There is plenty of inner sweetness in the glass, so it will be interesting to see where the wine goes over the coming year. - [*Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2012*]

I know it is 2011 but suggest giving this a new try and I bet the rating might have improved

All said it is hump day according to a GEICO commercial with a camel which says "Mike Mike Mike' for it is Wednesday and this wine is leaving with a nice smile!!!! May the rest of your week be all smiles folks

Cornwall in a bottle - saline freshness and wonderfully crisp. This is just made for (Cornish) seafood and fish. The acidity will work perfectly with crab or prawns. A real knockout. — 6 years ago
