Brings me to blurred imagery knees vibrating from bees at honeycomb to flowers blooming in early morning dew. The crisp rich vibe is a game changer — 4 years ago

With Catherine. Bday splurge again. We like this slightly less than the last one. Medium acidic. Slightly but more in the juicy side. More of a morning dew than a smoky flavor — 4 years ago

Where am I? Somewhere in Quarantini. Who are you drinking with? My sweetie & listening to the Mamas & the Papas. All this is a metaphor for Molly Drew’s 2018 Morning Dew Pinot Noir. Lovely. Even before the pandemic. Much better now. Cheers! — 6 years ago

Thin ruby colour. Fresh blueberry and black currant and morning dew. Very light cluster tannins, thin in the mouth, linear with short finish. High acid. Easy drinking now. — 8 years ago

Valentine's Day 2018. Paired with Roasted Butterflied Lobster Tail, and a Chocolate Truffle Torte. Notes to come:)

- - Brane-Cantenac is a special wine to my wife and I. It is the first Bordeaux Chateaux we ever visited on our honeymoon. It is this little modest estate sitting in the shadow of the oversized Chateaux of Cantenac Brown, but it couldn't be more opposite when you bring the wine into the mix. Classic Margaux nose but less funk and more fruit. Terrior is hard to define, but if you have been somewhere memorable, and have a wine or food from that place.. it's when you have it again and it transports you back that to that place and time that defines that for me. It smells of the cool clean air and morning dew, sunshine, gravel dust from the road we had just driven in on, leather and wood from the barn, and the fresh overtones of fruity wine just beginning fermentation in the production facility that make up the core character of the wine. It is the terrior of Cantenac, and more specifically of Brane-Cantenac.

Paired this with Roasted Butterflied Lobster, and Broccolini, and a little left over for the Chocolate Truffle Torte I made as well for Valentine's Day. — 8 years ago

My kind of wine! I like the way it makes me feel all over my mouth. Opulent oral omnipresence. The palatable pleasures of lemon and honey fornicating in a dew laden field with its drops glistening with the golden rays of the morning spring sunrise! — 9 years ago

So Williams Selyem Pinots should be treated is the same fashion as good burgundy, with age. It will always be somewhat sweeter than red burgundy but nonetheless very good.

This shows w/ an array of mid berry fruits accompanied by some darker fruits. Strawberries, cherries, pomegranate, cranberries, raspberries, hint of rhubarb, blackberries and haunting blueberries. Mid berry cola, red licorice, fruit tea, eucalyptus, pine tar notes, pine tree bark, dark, rich soils/earth, dry herbs, mid, dark spice, dry crushed rocks, dry limestone powder, black pepper notes, dry river stone, dry fall leaves, bright florals that are; red, blue, purple with a mix of red & pink roses, late spring waterfall acidity with extreme balance, tension, structure with elegance & smart polish for days and long sets on tree bark/sap & spice.

Still ascending. — 7 months ago

Consistently good, holding up well with time in the bottle, and still has time to develop more, but very quaffable now if you still want good fruit. The nose has some umami, damp wood, wet leaves from morning dew, and white pepper. The palate oozes with raspberries, raspberry seeds and tart pomegranate. Tannins are almost gone, but acidity is still present. Good stuff. Holds up after 3 days. — 5 years ago

Vibrant. Pear, green apple and violets. It tastes and smells like rich dew on an early Spring morning glistering in the sun. A new dawning! Like it will be for my brother Wim. Couldn’t be a better wine to celebrate him coming out of coma today after a terrible fall fracturing his skull. He responded well to testing the basic functions. Breathing on his own again. Yes a road to discovery has been created. A new dawning. Thank God for his healing touch, for hearing our prayers, for having Wim in his plan. Cheers!!! — 7 years ago

This wine has good posture. The nose: vanilla and anise; grass and heat like the wet summer morning dew in the Ural Mountains. Best to give it some air. Don’t rush it, it will be forthe coming when it is ready, alas, will you be? — 8 years ago

**NOTE: Delectable can't find the correct label for the Rully Rouge, only the blanc so pay no attention to the name.**

Very pretty from Rully! Fresh wild flowers & thyme, and cran/pomm on the nose and morning dew in the forest. The pallet was delicate, fruitful and an absolutely beautiful color. Raspberry, very faint note of white pepper & clove... more of a fruit forward style wine but none the less absolutely delicious. Made a perfect pairing for what I made for dinner:

Salmon seasoned with thyme, and a scotch cream sauce (made with Monkey Shoulder) accompanied by roasted fingerling potatoes and steamed green beans. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Perfect burgundy to serve at a party might I add.. clean acidity, balanced fruits.. good effort Latour — 9 years ago

Henry Jayer certainly live up to his name!

The wine possesses a profound, healing, oriental herbal bouquet. It's not like fresh mint or basil; it's more like opening a traditional apothecary cabinet filled with premium Chinese Angelica Root (Dāngguī), Astragalus (Huángqí), and dried lily bulbs, or walking through a damp forest after the rain, with scents of ginseng, licorice root, and dried citrus peel warming the air, all interwoven with the luxurious undertones of black truffle and moist earth. It's an aroma that evokes serenity, warmth, and nourishment.

Upon first opening, it presented an aroma of traditional Chinese herbs. After breathing in the glass for half an hour, the wine truly began to unfold, releasing intense notes of red fruits, woody fragrances, and those distinctive herbal nuances. The body is a remarkable fusion of elegance and power. Despite its age, the 1988 vintage retains a finely structured and layered profile, with a clean palate and velvety, silky-smooth tannins. The finish is exceptionally long, evoking the delicate scent of morning dew on bamboo leaves. Overall, it’s an utterly captivating wine that leaves one truly enchanted.

This is beautiful. The nose lasts long and smells thick with rose, dry dirt, potpourri, dark ripe fruit. There’s still pretty grippy tannin structure and acidity that makes your mouth salivate and desire more. The rose really comes out on the palate, maybe a touch of lavender, moist funky dirt, ripe mulled blackberries. The finish is long. The ripeness of the blackberry really hits right at the finish and hangs on. Give this a bit of a decant, at least 30 minutes. I want more, but have none. — 4 years ago

This is new vintage from Cresto di’Oro (Three Arrows) ranch/vineyard in the sub-AVA Green Valley of Russian River, Sonoma County. I am so impressed with this Pinot Noir rose. The color is like rose gold/copper which is so pretty. The aroma of fresh lime and lemon, white flowers, juicy strawberry and raspberry popped out right away after a swirl. The palate was so rounded with white peach, grapefruit, and melon finishing up with such a nice crisp taste, no tart or bitter taste at all that I found in most of dry roses. It’s a lovely rose that I didn’t expect to like 👍 — 7 years ago

Enjoyed Black Friday morning on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Sea Ranch, CA. Much better than shopping! Now (7PM) Hendrix our Standard Poodle is knocked out after another day in Paradise. A romantic day. Nice mousse and almond aftertaste on the wine. — 9 years ago

Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. With deep soil, Miller Ranch is also in a climate sweet spot, cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. Straw yellow with aromas of stone and tropical fruit with floral notes. On the palate crisp style with orange and grapefruit flavors, soft acidity with juicy sweetness, not overwhelming with a smooth ending. Good value. Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago
