2008 Kinero Roussanne Rustler James Berry Vineyard

Posted by WineTalking On February - 28 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Enjoyed by all at a tasting. Nicely paired with Julia Child’s stuff chicken. I can’t believe I agreed to share my last bottle with ten other people. Served it a little cold, but it made a wonderful impression. Honeysuckle, grass, and a little orange peel on the nose. Clean and crisp without much oak. A crowd pleaser. The 500ml bottle garnered interest, but with the wine’s popularity, I could have used a magnum of this delightful Roussanne. (93 pts.) – Tasted 2/28/2010. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $

2005 Forest Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Block 5

Posted by WineTalking On February - 28 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

My contribution to a late, long Sunday lunch with friends in rather warm and humid conditions at Top Deck, Aberdeen Harbour in Hong Kong. No detailed notes but generally consistent with previous drinking. Very precise, blackberry nose and very elegant, precise and slightly aloof rich black fruits palate. All very poised and harmonised in a still semi-closed way. Not so detectable length today. Everyone felt this needs keeping for at least a couple of more years.

2006 Joseph Phelps Insignia

Posted by WineTalking On February - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

First bottle of Insignia. Enjoyed with Filet at Mastros BH. Couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Definitely better than the 2006 Pahlmeyer that we drank first (though also a good bottle)! (96 pts.) – Tasted 2/26/2010. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $

2008 Can Feixes Penedès Blanc Selecció

Posted by WineTalking On February - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

The nose, unsurprisingly, is that of a Cava. Super clean. Hig acid. Fun white, but the price is over $15 here, not quite where I’d want it to be. (86 pts.) – Tasted 2/26/2010. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
