2017 Dakota Shy Cabernet Sauvignon Ten
4/23/2024 - OaktownRush Likes this wine:
Medium+ nose of blackberries, subtle pyrazine, baking spice, dry earth, some spicy blackberries. Palate has a lot of fresh berries, baking spice, and pencil lead — not a ton of structure, and feels like it’s missing just a touch of mid-palate density. Feels like it’s made in a drink now style, not bad, but doesn’t offer a ton of discovery or specificity.

2016 Walt Pinot Noir The Corners
4/20/2024 - OaktownRush Likes this wine:
Nose of cola, cranberry preserves, sassafras — and a palate with much of the same. Texturally it has a sort of smooth and slick quality, I didn’t quite feel the heaviness that others did, but you definitely feel the oak. The other Walt wines I’ve come across always seemed a little oaky and round to me and I liked this one a little more. Good for the style they’re going for, though sort of not my thing.

2018 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert
4/13/2024 - OaktownRush Likes this wine:
Definitely some ripe fleshy berries, sage, meat rub, subtle umami notes on the nose. Palate is ripe with a real plumpness to the fruit — it doesn’t feel overcooked to me, but does feel like it needs some time for the non-fruit notes to shine through. The savory notes are there now but they feel a little overpowered. One to come back to.
