Really nice with a nice nose that was old world in style as it should be.

Wild and full of brett, but I view that as a feature not a flaw. Dark purple color. Bacon fat and prosciutto on the nose. Rich smooth black cherry and charred bread crust. Sharp framing acidity. Long serious finish. $45 retail.

A perfect match for Christmas Eve rack of lamb. Been too long since I had this wine. An error I'll try not to repeat again!

One of my favorite California wines. Bonny Doon does such incredible work with mastering the Rhône style blend. Exquisite wine. 2010 vintage

Give it time to breathe and you will be rewarded. Nice blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and more.

Funky nose. Maybe needs more time to blow off and open up.
