Violet House

Crowded House

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Zippy, quaffable, stone, and tropical fruits! Gooseberry, limestone, and fresh cut grass. Crisp and refreshing on a hot summer day.

Cornas Syrah 2021

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2021 Cornas is a solid red that’s concentrated and elegant, offering crushed violet, red plum, red cherry and iodine layers paired with stemmy gradations. The medium-bodied 2021 concludes with wonderful freshness on the savory finish. It shouldn’t take long to come around, something that cannot be said for the surrounding vintages.

Mezcolanza Zinfandel Blend 2012

This winery’s Zins age beautifully. Color is still youthful. Complex nose shows earthy dark berry fruit, spice, sandalwood. Almost Bordeaux-like in the mouth. Dry, savory, some spicy blackberry fruit, and a minerally finish. Dry, with nice acids. — 3 months ago

Great time to open one of these. They need at least ten years to really come into their own
