Domaine de Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Syrah Blend
Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan. This sub $20 beauty is funky and rich with beef blood, moss, leather, tobacco, and stewed plums. Not a wine for everyone but punching above it’s weight. In a dumb phase now. Stay tuned. Great BTG pour.

Apr 6th, 2023Mainly Syrah and Grenache, this is a great wine from Rhone Valley. Rich texture with prominent notes of blackberries and spice. Finish is long and excellent. Well balanced tannins and nice complexity. $20

Nov 16th, 2019Bold and tannic but easy to drink after a 1 hr decant. Smoke, leather, black fruit, savory herbs, and meat. This wine packs a punch, but in the best way possible.

Aug 23rd, 2019Dense, chewy, and meaty with notes of blackberry, pepper, and chocolate ganache. Full-bodied and richly textured. Terrific wine and a terrific value.

Jan 31st, 2019Funkytown. Serious B. O. Some plum sauce down below. Lovely flavors. Spice, herbs, and rose hips. Flavors hit the mark. Complex and complicated wine with attitude.
