Road Less Traveled Cabernet Franc 2019

Purple red, highly extracted pigment. Red fruit, raspberry aromas, raspberry, plum, cola, herb flavors, mint and wintergreen finish. Aftertaste of medium seed tannins and some chewy skin astringency. Ageworthy. Vintage after vintage, one of my favorite Washington state reds, if not my favorite — a year ago

Château de Saint-Pey

Saint- Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Nose: so good. Herbs, wintergreen, blackberry, leather, sweet tobacco, a little cooked meat, forest floor, a little coffee (medium roast!). Wonderful.

Taste: as it smells. Medium weight, cedar, herbs, forests, bitter coffee (light roast now), smooth. Delicious stuff. There’s a lovely juiciness that lingers - surprising for something 10 years old. 92-93.

Bonny Doon Vineyard

Le Cigare Volant Red Rhone Blend 2019

Nose: dark cherry, jello, cedar, raspberry, wintergreen, eucalyptus, laffy taffy, a spice chest. Taste: light, smooth, pine, eucalyptus, tobacco, licorice, a little sweet, but a lot less fruit than the nose. Light-medium weight. Elegant. Not my preferred style, but a great example of what it is. Not worth $16 to me (my taste), but still a decent value if you like the varietals and style. — 3 years ago

Hermann J. Wiemer

Finger Lakes Dry Gewürztraminer 2020

NOSE: Melon, flower nectar, lychee, papaya. Distinct mint - Wintergreen (??). A little pine sol. Huh! Smell keeps changing, a lot going on here.

TASTE: basically as it smells … tropical fruit and flowers with a dash of pine sol and mint. There’s almost an artificial sugar taste … mouthwash-like. Weird! 89.

Clarendon Hills

Romas Grenache 2010

Now at the ten year mark, the 2010 ‘Romas’ by Clarendon Hills, is really hitting its stride. Right away the red florals and cigar box tones entice, giving way to layers of pretty red fruits and shades of wintergreen that all march in unison. The palate is plush but also quite vibrant, with a great veil of tension. Ripe red currants and blood orange zest tones mingle with creosote and bing cherry cordial on the palate. The freshness and viscosity is seriously good here, as is the silky texture. Performing marvelously at the ten year mark, the 2010 ‘Romas’ has another decade of life ahead of it.

Domaine Bechtold

Obere Hund Pinot Noir 2009

Shay A
9.1

I’ve been wondering when to open this wine, and when a local group decided to do a Pinot theme blind, I thought this would be a fun contender.

My second time with this wine in the last year, and I remain impressed at how this 13yr old Alsatian Pinot is holding up. Translucent ruby in the glass. Doesn’t seem to show much bricking, actually. Aromatically, it’s bretty…smells more Bordeaux like than anything else. Leather, herbs de Provence, underripe black cherries. The palate shows a small bit of carbonic character (not with the bubble gum vibe, but more of that cru bojo wintergreen profile). The fruit shows a faded/muddled profile due to the age, but there is plenty of dirty raspberry, black cherry and a savory red clay like note. Good acidity still. While this is on the downside, I’m hard pressed to say this is way over the hill. It’s actually a really fun and delicious wine to enjoy over an evening (especially with food).

Ca' Morei Valtellina Superiore Valgella Nebbiolo 2016

Fresh, silky, elegant. Black cherry, alpine raspberries, eucalyptus/wintergreen, sweet tobacco, sassafras/quinine, bittersweet chocolate, marjoram/sage. Elevated acidity. With dry aged ribeye, but even better with cheese plate and saucisson sec. 13.5% — 4 years ago
