The Oracle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

Excellent Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wine (81%) with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc (12%) and Merlot (7%). Still purple in color there is a beautiful balance of fruit (cassis, black cherry, blackberry) with oak (cedar, clove) and emerging tertiary notes of forest floor and earth. There is a lovely harmony to this wine with its understated power and delicious flavors. A wonderful experience. — 11 days ago

Sceales Vineyard Old Vine Grenache

Seventy-five plus year vines make me happy. Plenty of acidity balanced by lean, yet round, tannins. Savory raspberries and cherries with rhubarb and a little bay leaf. Yum! — 4 years ago

Mi-Pente Pinot Noir 2015

9.1

My favorite Wind Gap wine to date, for a 13 abv Pinot, this was a rather full bodied effort with abundant cherry and a touch of tobacco. Very solid. — 5 years ago

Russian River Valley Syrah 2008

Just an incredible 14 year old #syrah from Wind Gap that’s just screaming Crozes-Hermitage or Cornas in the glass. Cured meat, bacon fat, black olive followed by a deep well of brooding black fruit aromas. Palate is fresh with salivating acidity, aged fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and ethereal tannins on a long finish. Beautiful wine, especially for $53 for 6 bottles at WineBid (before shipping.)

Tolosa Winery

Pacific Wind Edna Valley Chardonnay 2017

Light bodied, medium acid, tastes like apple crisp (almost like a light apple cider), bright fruit, elegant hint of pear. Already buzzed from one glass. Send help. — 5 years ago

Wind Storm

Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2015

This is a great version of a California Zin. Nice notes of spice and pairs so well with a red meat meal. Found this on sale and will go get more while I can. Love the label and the cork. I am under a thunderstorm warning and this is so nice to watch the clouds rolling. Get some. — 2 years ago

Luna Matta Nebbiolo 2006

Every time I drink, I'm amazed that I got several of these at $9. For being 15 years old, this is drinking beautifully. Elegant and smooth. — 3 years ago

Armagh Vineyard Syrah 2013

When a Cali Syrah clocks in at 12.9%, I get a little nervous that I’m about to drink a statement and not a wine. My nervousness was unfounded. Nose is bright, with sniff-able acids, but lots of other stuff too: green olive, tiny red berries, crushed rock powder, dry-cured salami. Soft and flavorful, the interplay of low-toned savory flavors and zingy acids does a treble/bass thing on the palate. Finish is pretty long. Nice wine! — 4 years ago

“Drink a statement” - love that. But yes Syrah on the coast can get ripe in a beautiful way at that alc.
