Cayuse Vineyards
Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2010
Third twin👍🏼
@Paul T- Huntington Beach : I’ve never had a wine like that Third Twin. It was utterly captivating...green peppercorn crusted Black Forest cake. So unique.
Donelan Obsidian is kick ass, also their Richards Family & Walker Vine Hill.

Late Harvest Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Nice! Do you meet in NYC?
@Eric Bass : We are all located in the Fort Worth, TX area!
Harlan Estate
Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend 2012
Reds decanted about 4hrs before poured glass.
That sounds about right, I call that the Shafer decant. Good to know, I’ve got a couple in storage for future drinkage
Great review
Booker Vineyard
Ripper 22 Red Blend 2015
Still have the bottles of Faethm in that case?
@Paul T- Huntington Beach : Some are resting in the wine fridge and some are in the offsite storage locker. I want to pop one soon, but I know it will be too early!
@Paul T- Huntington Beach @Shay A in the words of Mel Gibson in Braveheart.... “Hold...HOLD...HOOOOLD!”
Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Ovation Brut Freestone Vineyard Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2015
Saw this & wondered if it merited $125 from the winery?
@David T : Fair question and in the spirit of transparency, when comparing to champagne, no. However, with the rise of Cali sparklers picking up steam, there is a definite high quality to this when comparing to other Cali sparklers. I think you’d enjoy, but it definitely needs time. When analyzing for what it is, I thought it was fairly nice.
Vaso
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Never had anything from Dana or VASO. I need to get with the program. Sounds like a great wine.
VASO I think is their 2nd label now but not sure they finishing pulling this off yet
Sine Qua Non
Tectumque Ventura White Blend 2017
I’m jealous
How much time do you feel the SQN whites need?
@Bryan Kesting : All the SQN whites I’ve had seem like they need at least 5yrs from vintage before opening. I thought the 2015 White was pretty good young, but both the 2016 and 2017 seem really coiled. Just my personal opinion.
