2010 Lone Madrone The DoddPaso Robles Red Blend more |
3/19/2020 - jishmael wrote: 93 pointsOpened this one to pair w/ a farfalle with roasted red pepper sausage. The Dodd is always a winner and this one was no exception. Roughly an hour to open up once decanted and had a real Chateauneuf essence to it w/ that barnyard aroma. Although towards the end of the window, just fantastic. Waiting to crack the 11' and 12' that I'm still holding. |

2015 Turtle Rock G2Paso Robles Willow Creek District Syrah Blend, Syrah more |

2008 Écluse Cabernet Sauvignon Lock VineyardPaso Robles more |
2/2/2020 - jishmael wrote: 93 pointsBased on the drinking window I was afraid this one had gone past its prime & might be a bit tired. Couldn't have been farther from the truth. This 08' decanted for roughly 90-minutes and was just fantastic. The Lock's continue to produce great Central Coast wines. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2013 Landmark Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlandsmore |
1/26/2020 - jishmael Likes this wine: 94 pointsFantastic Pinot Noir from Landmark. Perfectly balanced w/ an understated elegance. An absence of that barnyard funk, but still a nice terroir presence. I need to find more of the 2013 as this was a fantastic little wine. |

2006 Le Cuvíer Sangiovese McGourty VineyardPaso Robles more |
1/18/2020 - jishmael wrote: 88 pointsLe Cuvier used to be one of my favorite wineries in the Paso region, but my tastes have definitely changed over the last decade. Just a massive jam bomb w/ a higher alcohol at 16%+. |

2012 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 40th AnniversaryNapa Valley more |

2009 Le Cuvíer ViognierPaso Robles more |
11/5/2019 - jishmael wrote: 88 pointsDefinitely a hot one at 15.9%. Also believed my tastes have changed since I originally purchased this Viognier that's dying to be a red. Extended time on the skin gives this one almost a cognac type appearance in color. Careful on the pour as the sediment was almost overwhelming. Not for those looking for elegance... |

2007 Lone Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Roblesmore |
5/31/2018 - jishmael wrote: NRA big & strong Cab on the open. The 16.5% is definitely one of my heavier holdings, but started to smooth after being decanted. Two bottles left and don’t think I’ll hold moren than another year or two. |
