12/25/2021 - tederf Likes this wine: 94 pointsChristmas Eve dinner with friends. Two hour decant. Main course was standing rib roast and this paired perfectly. Such a yummy wine. Tannins softened over the years. Vanilla, cherry and some raspberry. Lucky I have one more in the cellar. |

4/16/2020 - tederf wrote: 90 pointsBright, lively strawberry on the nose with other red fruit. Carries over to the taste. Good acid balance and long finish for Rosé. Great with some spicy food - had this the second night with hot wings. |

2018 Dirty and Rowdy Mourvèdre Shake Ridge RanchAmador County more |
3/21/2020 - tederf wrote: 92 pointsExcellent Mourvedre. Drank on Hardy's Zoom virtual tasting. Upon opening - aroma of cinnamon. Agree with Hardy's comments and others --- red raspberry, other red berries. Nice spices maybe rosemary. A bit of funk and earth. Not "heavy" at all. Went well with the music. Second night with dinner - went well with food. |

2006 Le Clos d'un Jour Cahors Un Jour sur TerreMalbec Blend, Malbec more |
3/11/2020 - tederf wrote: 90 pointsStill has life and drinking nicely. Has the expected deep, darkness of the Malbecs from Cahors. Very dark fruit - cherry, raspberry, plum. Spices and leather. Got what I thought was some oak - but these were aged in clay pots. |

2001 Grande Maison Monbazillac Cuvée des MonstresSémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
3/11/2020 - tederf wrote: 90 pointsVery nice sweetie - esp at the end of an evening of Southwest France wines. Got the honey, orange peel and caramel. Not quite up to a 2001 Yquem but not a bad way to end the meal. |

2008 Saxum James Berry VineyardPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
3/6/2020 - tederf wrote: 95 pointsTook to dinner at Forsythia with Amanda and Robert. Opened about 5 hours prior to dinner and decanted entire time. This bottle was beautiful. Robert requested a "big and bold" wine -- this one filled the bill. Dark, dark fruit. Well integrated tannins. Some spice and pepper. Paired very well with the foie and the pork. Everyone enjoyed this one. Very happy to have one more bottle in the cellar. |

11/20/2019 - tederf wrote: 90 pointsThis still had lots of life. Softened over the years. I think the shraz is giving way to the cab and merlot. Decanted and opened for about six hours helped open up the red fruit. |

6/1/2019 - tederf wrote: 91 pointsAlthough a bit $$$ for Rosé - this was very tasty even with the 3 years sitting in my cellar. Strawberry flavors and good acid. Not sweet at all. Serve chilled --- lost some flavor as it got warm. |

3/20/2019 - tederf wrote: 93 pointsVery nice. Had this at Will on lobster night. Paired very well. Got better as evening went on. Citrusy. I think lemon notes with great acid. Also floral - maybe honeysuckle. Very different than Arcadian Sleepy Hollow Chard. |
