Very yummy. Smells of bubble gum and red licorice. Paid nicely with a homemade Hostess Cupcake cookie. A lite spice, but full body fruit with plum aftertaste. — 7 months ago

So Delicious! Blackberries, blueberries,cherry liquor, black licorice, eucalyptus. Graphite, vanilla, earth, great long finish! I opened this early, it could benefit from a few more years! I have justification for opening this! I just found out that my son proposed, officially engaged! — 3 years ago

Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, floral herbs and mineral spice. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry with notes of tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb and a savory earthy character. Nice! — 2 months ago

Nose of raisins and licorice. First sip was too oaky for me, but I hate tasting any oak. With food , much nicer. Nice rounded fruit, mouthfeel. With a buzz, even better! Score keeps going up. Blend is 58% carignane, 23 Grenache, 15 Syrah, and 4 petite sirah. — 3 years ago

Well made, generous Bordeaux blend — balanced and harmonious w/tons of fruit but lots of earth driven elements on nose & palate. Smooth, sturdy tannins and impressive length on finish. You can tell there is pedigree to the fruit their sourcing — 9 months ago

Oakley Road Vineyard Mataro 2018

Adriana Fabbro

9.2

Mourvèdre Madness Monday. Common threads: tart blackberry, characteristic rustic meatiness/ferrous quality and reduction.

Mataro from Zin master Joel Peterson. Richest, most forward and fullest bodied of the bunch by far. Extracted but balanced. Tannins are plush and wooly. Fresh violets, smoke and licorice. — 3 years ago

I love your notes…what’s a wooly tannin? 😊

Adriana Fabbro

@Eric big time tannins that are grippy and mouth coating, but in a pleasant way. They border on rustic/rough, but are just ripe enough (often found in big extracted wines that are done well). I think of wine textures - especially tannin - in terms of the fabric (silk, velvet, even velour) and the way it feels against your skin, so wool seemed like a natural extension of that. One of my WSET instructors used the term once and it has stuck with me ever since.
