Grosset
Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2013
Aromas of lemon, lime, mineral and white flowers ( the white flowers from an orange tree) - with a touch of paraffin (TDN). The light to medium bodied palate has intensity. Grown organically in the Polish Hill district of the Clare Valley. Definitely in the top 3 Rieslings in Australia - such purity. — a month ago

Dianthus Paso Robles Mourvedre Blend Rosé 2021
Last of a 3-pack. Consumed one in ‘22, ‘23 and now ‘24. Holding up well.
42 Mourvèdre/40 Grenache/17 counoise/1 cinsault
I don’t drink much rosé, but when I do, I like the darker/bigger profile, and this achieves that at a really nice price. When compared to the first bottle two years ago, the change is minimal (if at all). This style allows for a bit of age to carry it easily. Deep red-pink in the glass. Aromatics of juicy watermelon and red-gummy fruit (raspberries) upfront as well as some red floral notes. On the palate, it has spiced strawberries, black cherries, and a little blood orange citrus at the finish. If I had more, I’d enjoy over the next year or two. — a year ago
@Tobin Spratte : Yes, I’ve done side by sides with the two rosés before and yours is more Provençal whereas the Dianthus is more Tavel-like.

Nebbiolo 2019
Comparing a Virginia Neb with and entry level Italian Neb. This Va. one has lots of up front fruit, with a very slight pruney note, not unpleasant. Nice effort. — 4 months ago
Sandhi Wines
Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014
Sandhi Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir 2014: Medium-light body. Soft tannins. Medium acidity. Beautiful light red/cranberry color. Delicate perfumed nose with bright red fruits (cherry, strawberry & raspberry). Orange peel. Dried herbs. Earth. Cedar. Smooth easy finish. All in all, I loved, loved, loved this wine. It was drinking perfectly, beautifully balanced and a great representation of the local Sta Rita Hills terroir; felt like I was drinking a Burgundy wine! One of the best Santa Barbara Pinots out there! Happy Sunday Funday! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
