Donelan

Richards Family Vineyard Syrah 2014

Beautiful Syrah an much better than the 2008. Elegant, dark, contemplative wine with dark fruit and licorice. Nose takes you deep inside your head with blackberry and licorice. Powerful but smooth tannins. More Rhône style than California. Expensive at $83.25 but worth it. — 9 months ago

Hayne Vineyard Petite Sirah 2005

Might have kept this a little too long as the flavors are a bit muddled. The aromas/nose on it fills the room so it’s very aromatic. The finish is long but all in the mid-palate and nothing in the cheeks so feels lacking. More acidic than I love. — 8 months ago

Paloma

Napa Valley Syrah 1998

Beautiful Syrah from Spring Mountain, savoury aromas and flavors, very French-like if served blind, still has lots of primary redfruits showing, tannins have largely receded, from a partially-shaded 5-acre portion at the bottom of the Paloma vineyard, long finish, I believe the Syrah vines were planted in 1992 and pulled out after the 2001/2002(?) vintage, Barbara and Jim Richards said the farming was more difficult than the Merlot (and smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon) that Paloma is known for and thus they elected to replant (graft? Not sure) more of the other varieties into that plot. While the first vintage of the Syrah (1995) was never commercially released (12 cases produced from 3 year old vines), Jim was kind enough to send me home with 4 bottles, that wine was the best Syrah to EVER come off that vineyard, I was forever in his debt, it was AMAZING. I miss Barbara and Jim, some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in the wine business (I’m NOT in the business myself)!! — 2 months ago

Ladoix Pinot Noir 2018

On the nose, breeding stands out on notes of sweet tobacco, cedar. The mouth is fresh, supple, simple but charming. The aging is fine, and the sour red fruit is fresh and crunchy. Beautiful gourmet and affordable cuvée that does not lack finesse. To be tasted in two years.

Au nez, l’élevage ressort sur des notes de tabac doux, cèdre. La bouche est fraîche souple, simple mais charmante. L’élevage est fin, et le fruit rouge acidulé est frais et croquant. Belle cuvée gourmande et abordable qui ne manque pas de finesse. A regoûter dans deux ans.

@romo Yes. An appellation that remains at a reasonable price, which is generally not the case in Burgundy.
