9.0

Sweet-and-sour nose. Silky tenants that cook the tongue. Long delicious finish with only a hint of oak at the very end. I would buy again. — 3 months ago

Some poopy bret blew off in 30 mins and revealed a sheer dress of leafy brown spice. Likely peaked at 15 years. — 9 months ago

Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

2015 vintage. Light-medium/medium body. Elegant with just the right mix of primary and secondary characteristics currently. Some earthy tones, some pretty tones. Picked up 3 cases for an affordable ($35 a btl) domestic Cab with a decade of age on it. 2013 effort (not reviewed) had a slightly, off-putting, prunish note on the finish that wouldn’t leave the party so passed on it and went with this instead. 3.11.26. — 8 months ago

Joshua Cooper

Ray-Monde Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

My first Joshua Cooper wine - had to check out the Young Winemaker of the year for 2020 awarded by Gourmet Wine Traveller magazine. Joshua has recently turned 32. This wine was quite rich and dense and a little closed aromatically - obviously quite young. Ripe plum, rose petals, with a little vegetal matter. - a big future ahead. Joshua has had wide experience with Australian wineries and in Burgundy with Domaine de la Vougeraie and Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron. This wine from the cool climate Macedon Ranges with high profile neighbours like Bindi and Curly Flat. — 6 years ago

Domaine La Bérangeraie

Cuvée Maurin Cahors Malbec 2022

Completing my weekend Cahors trifecta, this wine is the wildest of the bunch. Deep and inky with some sediment. Very tight upon opening and doesn't seem to loosen up. The fruit is in there, though pinned down by big oak influence. This must want some more cellar time.
