2010 Loxton Syrah Griffin's LairSonoma Coast more |
12/19/2022 - Dr_Bob Likes this wine: 92 pointsStored in cellar since release; still loads of fruits and tannins; spice - cinnamon clove; dark fruits, plums and quince; opens up and doubles down with 30-60 minute decant! dense lingering long finish; totally worth the 12 years spent aging; have one more for a few more years and another very special occasion. Superb wine with care given to the grapes and the winemaking. Flawless wine and great product. |

11/12/2022 - Dr_Bob Likes this wine: 92 pointsSuperb both bottles, high acidity, long finish, great nose of cranberries and violets; has characteristics typical of this northern region. Very unique and flavorful wine; one of my favorite expressions of pinot that I've found. |

2014 Christophe Blanc Condrieu Les VallinsViognier more |
7/1/2022 - Dr_Bob Likes this wine: 90 pointsCellared since release; light gold color; none of the oxidation notes by other tasters; light delicate, a little unctuous; nose of honey and honeysuckle; had it with a light French onion soup and went superbly; not a cuilleron, but a very nice Viogner, no one makes viogner like Condrieu. Keeping my other bottles cool and they will drink for a few more years. |

2004 Alban Vineyards Syrah Reva Alban Estate VineyardEdna Valley more |
5/7/2021 - Dr_Bob Does not like this wine: 86 pointsRevas have always been interesting to me. Always an acetone predominance that only goes away after prolonged air. At this point remains dense without the bacony smoke or other dark or red fruits I often get from other syrahs; I always open another bottle hoping it becomes more enjoyable the next time, but consistently pruny over the years |

2/27/2021 - Dr_Bob Likes this wine: 92 pointsI got this puppy on release, stored perfectly, and currently tasting fab! Tons o cherries on the initial nose which fade with decaying; don’t forgo tasting it right out of the bottle; cherries plums and some wood in the palate, a minute or more finish; very happy with this; got two more, will plan on drinking in two and 8 years. |
