2017 Hillside Estate Cabernet Franc

Okanagan Valley more

3/8/2024 - J&T wrote: NR

Very tannic. Decanted but still needs lots of time despite being a 2017 BC wine. OK with pizza but wouldn't serve to friends at this point.

2020 Bosio Winery Barbera d'Alba Truffle Hunter - Leda

more

2/19/2024 - J&T Likes this wine: NR

Did a Coravin tasting as a trial run for drinks with the gang tomorrow. Too robust for our needs, but definitely will enjoy decant4ed with a bigger protein at another date.

Just a little too big for a light snacking party.

6/8/2022 - J&T Likes this wine: 88 points

Although the bottle label said to drink within a year of purchase, this 2014 was absolutely delicious in 2022. Initially still a little tannic, after a decanting it calmed down and was silky smooth. And considering we paid $17 per bottle...

2012 Negretti Barolo Mirau

Nebbiolo more

11/20/2020 - J&T Likes this wine: 86 points

Cigars immediately on the cork, and then tobacco on the nose and palette. Paired with a rare Chateaubriand perfectly, although not a lot of fruit in the mouth. Might be nearing the end of its window. That said, I'll try another bottle, but we have had better Barolos.

2019 Tinhorn Creek Pinot Noir

Okanagan Valley VQA more

11/16/2020 - J&T Does not like this wine: NR

Opened this tonight by mistake, so gave it a go. Too young to rate. Poured the last half bottle out. Very astringent, not really drinkable yet. Has the potential to be a typical Tinhorn Pinot, but wow, give it another three to five years minimum!

Nothing special - a very average week-night table wine. Initially flat, did open up a little with time and aeration. Wouldn't bother again.

Lovely, unctuous white wine, straw to gold in colour four years on. Will stand up to another year in the cellar. Best experienced at slightly below room temp but not too cold.

Two out of two corks crumbled on opening. Opened for family Easter dinner but passed on it for another wine as some guests weren't sure about the taste. Will try it on day two to see how it goes.

2015 Jean-Max Roger Sancerre Vieilles Vignes

Sauvignon Blanc more

11/20/2017 - J&T Likes this wine: 90 points

Well structured and less "in your face" than a NZ or BC Sauvignon-Blanc. Lovely.

A bit steep at $40 but well worth it...just don't let it get too cold before drinking.

2012 Kay Brothers Shiraz Block 6 Amery Vineyards

McLaren Vale more

8/27/2016 - J&T wrote: 90 points

Opened a bottle to see how it was maturing. It's as great as we remember it when tasted at the winery, but it will benefit from a few more years in the cellar. Fairly strong tannins will benefit from time in the bottle.. Thank goodness we bought a case! Delicious with a summer steak, corn and potato BBQ.

2015 Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Marlborough more

6/29/2016 - J&T wrote: 90 points

Lovely, typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with a long finish. Fresh grapefruit, peach and other stone fruits.

Great as a late afternoon appetizer and would go well with summer salads, chicken or fish on the BBQ.
