Rasheh Dry Red 2021

Eric Urbani
9.3

One of the rarest wines in the world, in that it is the first wine made from grapes sourced from Iran, since the moratorium on alcohol imposed by the Islamic regime after the 1979 revolution. Made from the Rasheh varietal, it’s surprisinglingy good, and of course was a big hit with my Persian in-laws. Watch Somm: Cup of Salvation (2023) for the whole story. — 20 days ago

The perfect warm, toasty wine for the coldest day of the year. The perfect poultice for a year of sore feelings, salt on open wounds, and pained existence. This wine is both healing and salvation, the perfect potable for when you realize you have borne the brunt of the storm. Monterey Wine Club, which makes it extra special.

Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

"Odedi"
9.1

This is a tasty Napa Cabernet. Rich, extracted and elegant.

Showing blackberries, black currants, raisins, sweet cherries, chocolates, cedar, vanilla, coffee, earth, light vegetables, bitter herbs and peppercorn.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Long finish with round tannins.

Needed a few hours of decanting, which I did not have at this time.

Still very young, but already enjoyable. Needs 3 years in the bottle to mature properly, and will age nicely in the next 10 years.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$75. — 5 years ago

9.0

Salvation on an otherwise desolate and overpriced wine list. Pale red color, light to medium body. The nose is more semi-sour fruit than anything else, moderate tannins. On an empty stomach, the alcohol is apparent to my disposition but otherwise subtle. Getting better as I sip. — 10 years ago

Nice luscious grape with hints of citrus (lemon, orange, lime) and herbs (rosemary, thyme). Even better after sitting in traffic on the GW bridge and needing wine salvation. — 4 years ago

Clos de la Baronne Meursault Chardonnay 2014

Matt
9.5

Struck me as being very energetic and powerful. Laser acid and linear in the best way possible. Has the classic broad Meursault character but the wine just drives across the palate and lingers for quite some time. Albeit too young this was incredible. Can't get over the tension here, pure salvation. A fine example of how the right amount of reduction can send a wine to the next level. I want to drink this everyday for the next 10+ years. — 8 years ago
