@Doug Powers A solera-style Black Grenache, so old, but deceiving. Heck I just bought my own bottle last year; this was from my best buddy's cellar.

Spice Route

Swartland Pinotage 2018

Oak, chocolate and vanilla. And some fruity sweetness. — 2 years ago

Spice Route

Chakalaka Red Blend 2016

Deep purple in color with a short reddish rim.

Pretty nose with cedar, vanilla, wild flowers, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with cedar, earth, herbs, black pepper, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a tasty red blend from South Africa. Soft and smooth with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Needed 4 hours to open up properly, so be patient.

A blend of 36% Mourvedre, 22% Shiraz, 13% Carignan, 11% Grenache, 9% tannant and 9% Petite Sirah.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Domaine Labet

Les Champs Rouges Les Parcelles Rares Jura Sud Revermont Chardonnay

The favorite wine from my tasting with Matt and Paul. Stunning. layered, complex and evolved through the night. Unfortunately, the only bottle I had. Labet is getting nearly impossible to source. Excellent pair with crab mac and cheese. — 7 months ago

Casa Vinicola Apollonio

Salice Salentino Mani Del Sud Negroamaro Blend

Not my favorite Italian, but wasn’t bad. Slight oaky? — 10 months ago

Clos De La Tech

Domaine Lois Louise Cote Sud Pinot Noir 2017

2017 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Dark color. Rhubarby, plummy nose. Muscular with a consistent palate fill and push the entire show. No dropoff anywhere. Not as delicate as I’d like but this is the best domestic Pinot I’ve had in a while. Holy bleep. 1.10.24. — a year ago

New name to me. Stemmy? Lean?

@Shay A Not lean and maybe some stem inclusion but not obvious/overt. Big body w/o fruit bomb status. Low production but if you can find online or retail (don’t think it’s avail retail), would likely clock in around $90-$100.
