| 2007 Wellington Victory Reserve (USA, California, Sonoma County) | 1/4/2018 | Furry Goat | 90 |
Hour and half decant. Garnet color, violet edges. Deep color.
Tobacco and cassis nose. Cedar.
Enters with cab fruit. Full mouth feel, Great balance of fruit and oak as it opens up.
Seems flabby at times, then seems thin. Strange. Delicious, but gonna wait more time for the next few. (2040 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

| 2009 Kent Rasmussen Petite Sirah Esoterica Chavez-Leeds Vineyard (USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford) | 8/3/2017 | Furry Goat | 90 |
Great nose of dark ripe fruit. Palate has fruit and lots of pepper and spice. Very strong acid backbone carries the wine, but balances the fairly large tannic profile. 1 hour decant and it probably needed more. Still at least 5 years, probably 2x that. A little tight still.
Tasty and quality. Good with stir fry. (2011 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

Beautiful brick color. Floral perfume with a hint of strawberry. Earthy palate with some funk, mushroom, rose petal, pepper, red fruit is still strong on the mid palate through the finish. Long finish. (612 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 2009 Borgo La Torre Esse Toscana IGT (Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT) | 11/26/2016 | Furry Goat | 91 |
Nice old work barnyard funky nose. Ripe dark fruit and some sweet herbs.
Pours inky with cherry red edges.
Beautiful acidity to start with a nice mineral component. Great restrained fruit follows and then maybe some anise or licorice, and black pepper spice.
Medium finish.
Beautiful Italian wine that drinks like a nice Barolo, but it's a Syrah!
Quality and interesting. Has some more time to it so no rush. Could be a little (2562 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

Drinking very well and entering a nice "aged cab" ballpark.
Still plenty of punch for a few more years plus to cellar.

| 2007 WineSmith Pinot Noir (USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley) | 6/6/2016 | Furry Goat | |
Oak on the nose with a little bit of ripe cherries. Almost a little smoky on the nose.
Oak is again present and in the forefront on the palate coming in the form of wood and tobacco. Silky mouthfeel. Little to medium fruit and some spice. Long ish finish of charred oak notes.
45m decant.

| 2013 WineSmith St. Laurent Ricci Vineyard Carneros (USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros) | 5/31/2016 | Furry Goat | 89 |
Tasty!! So round and full. Medium fruit, funk, mineral and herb notes.
Like a cross between the minerality and acid of a French Pinot/Gamay, with the plummy robustness of a cab.
A nice change of pace and great mouthfeel as always with Clark. Lasted for two days and was almost better day 2. Definitely decant. (1205 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

| 2012 Domaine Poulleau Père & Fils Côte de Beaune Les Mondes Rondes (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune) | 4/12/2016 | Furry Goat | 88 |
Good Burgundian nose with strawberry and rose and a moderate amount of funk.
Palate is a touch twangy and sour. Unripe strawberries and white pepper are the dominant notes.
Simple burgundy. Would prefer the fruit to be a touch riper in its expression. Short finish. (1196 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
