A perfect mix between red and a hint of white, making it a very light color and it has such a unique flavor… a hint of sweet, not overpowering, the kind of wine you can’t stop sipping on! — a year ago
My second set of wines to provide as part of a co-host event.
I picked these up during a visit to Morlet in the fall of ‘21. Sadly, these are the last of my initial stash. 58 semillon/36 SB/6 Muscat.
Poured blind for a group of 20 people at the end of a wine event, I was shocked that not one single person called this Cali. Many Sauternes, Barsac, and a few South African dessert wine guesses. It’s undeniably sporting botrytis flavors, but the richness has a wonderful spine of acidity. Honeyed mango, white peach and chock-full of orange blossom on the nose, there’s added candied spice and honeycomb on the palate. Didn’t pick up any nutty flavors (which I enjoy in Sauternes), but this was also fairly young. Extremely “fresh” for a dessert wine, if that makes sense. Best Cali dessert wine I’ve had, I think. — 2 years ago
Light bodied, slightly effervescent, and quite acidic. Surprisingly lemony. Lots of raisin. Maybe some rooibos? This is a good time. Had it with Naples style pizza. — 5 years ago
2014 Sonoma Co. Cabernet. Agree "as expected" but perhaps a bit more respect due. Excellent balance, big fruit, smooth silky palate, long finish. Great with red meat. Pricey, though for not quite top tier full bodied... — 6 years ago

Get to Know Cab Franc Class (bonus wine - the carboy we brought back from our trip to CO last year). Raspberry aromas and some milk chocolate notes, more herby aromas as it opens up. Herby on the palate with a little bell pepper, a little smooth chocolate, and more tingly acid with not as much of a tannin lingering. #gotm2020 — 6 years ago
I heard Bill Murray on a podcast recently raving about the bramble-berry pie he had the night before, describing the many berries that went into making it so delicious. It’s a fitting description for the current release of Bedrock’s Dolinsek Heritage red too, which is loaded with a rainbow of berry flavors and all their sweetness and bright acidity captured in a bottle instead of a crust. There’s an added bonus of a long, peppery finish thanks to the 70+% Zin in the field blend and some firm, drying tannins that signal a great future ahead. — a year ago
Founded 1972, Tom & Sally Jordan, from CO, went to CA’s wine country & produced inaugural vintage in 1976. A Fav of mine with a steak, and the ‘17 hits the mark! Blend of mostly Cab Sauv with Merlot, Petit Verdot & Malbec. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruit, floral & spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and fig with oak, sweet spice, leather & cacao notes. Rich tannins, well balanced and integrated with fruit & oak. Very Nice! — 4 years ago
