Stealth Vineyards

Fess Parker

The Big Easy Santa Barbara County Syrah Blend

Kind of a “stealth” wine, with no description of the component varietals, but it’s an easy drinking accessible red wine, medium body, not too much tannin and ready to drink. — 2 years ago

Savennières Chenin Blanc 2016

Savennières is stealth Chenin. It is ever so much that white gravel people rake patterns in. And just as dry. Until a lemon is squeezed over and a pear and tangerine fall from the trees and a brisk wind wafts through carrying hints of the flower bushes blooming nearby. Oh damn and that raw Marcona almonds. It’s a goddamn garden party in early autumn. Bask. This Savennières looks lightweight but it’s white gold. — 8 years ago

@Michael Meyer that sounds accurate!

The Arsonist Chardonnay 2015

Gorgeous golden yellow. There’s aromas of grilled corn muffin slathered in butter, an assortment of melons and pears, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple lollipop. In the palate it has a medium body weight, a mouthfeel that’s ridiculously rich and smooth, and an acidity that’s ninja stealth until the end. On the finish you’re left with pears and banana for quite a long duration. — 9 years ago

Bevan Cellars

Ontogeny Napa Valley Red Blend 2014

I am sipping and digging and at the same time thinking oh heck give this two more years and WHOA but it is still 100 percent drinkable now. There is this marvelous orange peel and clove essence to the nose. The tongue is acidic as heck (someone else said it wasn't but seeing as I have like zero acid receptors and found the back of my mouth watering I say it is) and the tannins...they are stealth. They kick in mid to late palate. Otherwise it is blackberries both stewed and fresh galore. A tinge of purple plum (just checked and hey! There is some merlot so that accounts for that) and then there is the vanilla/tobacco essence of someone's lovingly used humidor. I mean I'm not in the presence of fine cigars on the regular yet a comedian like me dreams of nights puffing away or just drinking away the long-lived stash of wine and/or smokes that call up this depth of vanilla, tobacco, allspice AND flippin' grape goodness. Plus you taste another hint of orange peel. This is simpler than others I've tasted from Bevan (thank you @Paul T ) but it is wine I'd pair with nothing at all OR a dang steak. I think both pairings would hold water. This wine is adaptable and with age will be more so. Okay my tasting notes are more than most put on delectable so maybe i will save a few more thoughts for the dang blog... — 9 years ago

@Paul T tried decanting for a bit today. It really is a great wine! There's pomegranate notes coming out that are really nice. Love the deep color on this wine too. I didn't take your food pairing tip though---being vegetarian---but am totally excited about this bottle. Quite an elegant but intense wine

Reserve Alsace Pinot Gris 2021

Very pure and subtle, but sophisticated. Streamlined. Snowy white peach and pale wildflower honey, with a touch of marcona almond mid-palate that finishes hinting at marzipan. Stealth Pinot Gris, it contains a lot, if you care to ask. — 3 years ago

Sine Qua Non

Dirt Vernacular Grenache Blend 2016

Nose-on attack of baking chocolate and dark, black cherries. Rich and smooth, bordering opulent but not the least bit cloying. Hides 16% alcohol with stealth. Mouth coating fig, more chocolate and a minute-plus tail. Outrageously awesome. Suspect this will improve with more age. — 3 years ago

Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg Eiswein Riesling 1998

M’s bday dinner (12/12). Tasted blind. But wait there’s more! A stealth late evening bottle is pulled. A guest is departing for Germany later this week and wanted another data point for his education before leaving. Medium gold color. Wild, young and exotic nose. Notes of mandarin orange, stones, kiwi, citrus, petrol and apricot. Rich with amazing acidity. Impactful. Long finish. Woke us up. Voilà! — 7 years ago

So stealth. From a mid-shoulder bottle of light color. Even the nose doesn't give it away. Great layers of blood, roast, earth and spice. Fruit be damned (ok some stewed) lovely balance of acid and tannins -well-knit and harmonious. — 10 years ago
