12 Limerick Lane missed the high-points of the others from this discovered case. It opened full of Zinberry but sort of fell apart in under 90 minutes.

Storage?

in for the Syrah

Got to be 1/10th as good as Cayuse right?

I picked up the Syrah. Will be one dN bottle I’ll try inside of 2023.

I still have a smattering of 08-11 but these 12s are terrific so far.

My wife makes Buffalo Hot Cauliflower and it’s kick ass.

03 Del Carlo, Teldeschi Dry Creek fruit. Just delicious

% Zinfandel.

Everybody loved this wine.

Planet’s year-in, year-out, QPR protein champion.

I’m not stepping on it too heavy.

So I have tried Flannery Traditional & Adventurous now pure China-White straight, with just some flake sea salt.

Incredibly hedonistic burger but for me the fat content is a wee bit too high. I’m cutting the Kali Blend with some grass-fed, 7% Oregon ground.

Need safer product or I might get hooked.

It’s nice living ocean adjacent. I miss food in NOLA. If not for all our animals we’d take a drive.

I got my letter too! Anyone not on the receiving end who wants some reach out. Working only part time I can’t take my usual Full Monty.

We stupidly opened the #6 (2014) when I thought I was opening one of my two bottles of the #4.

READING GLASSES!!

Not close to ready. Yes, it’s Cayuse but I’m guessing it’s a decade from special.

Makes sense now why at age 6 it’s still not ready to go yet.

Maybe another 6 years.

Tried a 14 Sherman’s Gold tonight. Amador wine but I’ve no idea of the vineyard in Shenandoah. I used to roll my mc thru there a lot in the 00s.

Needs two + hours open or decanted to show its stuff.

Haven’t gotten mine yet.

Finally, as I approach decade seven of life I’ve ordered less. Still, there is little room.

Yes, the 2012. Yummy wine, like all the 12 Carlisle wines.

I got my eyes on a 13 Limerick Lane soon.

2012 Papa’s is quintessential Papa’s. Lordy.

Tried another bottle last night, five years after the first. No spritz but really sweet fruit, like strange secondary fermentation. AFWE should run from this.

Again, we sort of thought the wine seemed to fall apart after 2-3H open. This bottle might have been flawed, it was almost barrel samplish.

CdV Reserve can be an epic wine in great vintages.

18 vintage in Napa makes blind purchasing easy. Be curious how many jump in when vintages are not glorious.

I liked this wine a lot more than you did, the six years sideways did the wine a service.

Light & fine, but powerful. All the match/reduction is gone now. Stone fruits & pinch of lemon now too.

Not going to change your life but it’s very good Chardonnay.

Very happy to read this, I was scared to ask.

Bravo sir.

Tri-tips are really roasts.

Six plus hours in decanter, enjoyed in Gabriel Universal stems, with grass-fed Carne Asada & baked beans. Honestly, didn’t seem to change much in the decanter. Wine is entering what should be a lengthy drinking window. It’s less juicy now than the 2012 but still with a high delicious factor. Grippy ...

Burger blend recommendations? I’m adding some to my order this time around.

Found my last bottle, still delicious. All tea & truffles now which makes for a refined attack after a nose revealing magic marker and chemical undertones.

Lovely drop for what was otherwise a wholly weird Friday.

2018 W2 fruit hell, I could blend it and make a solid $45 btl.

Bit on W2 Cab. I’m always a 1/2 to full case buyer.

Hayne has an exquisite, almost PN kind of attack, with an overall field blend appeal. Nose is slightly medicinal, moderately smoky, without a lot of fruit upfront. Smooth & elegant mouthfeel, explosive taste that’s hard to pin down, finish is real & spicy. We really enjoyed this with a half wheel of...

Tavernetta is glorious.

Just found a nice cache of 12 Carlisle in a box masquerading as Rhys. Hayne will start the festivities this evening!

She is ok but what’s left of her foundation is still smoldering.

I saw that earlier, one piece of great news.

I read Burgess is gone.

Happy to read this, thank you!

It’s all so tragic and beyond simple sadness.

I think you need to write more tasting notes - great description!

Hear, hear.

So very sad.

12 Alder Springs Syrah is hitting on all cylinders now. Baker’s chocolate galore, but different than Carlisle Papa’s. Everyone loved this wine. Dark & brooding but spicy.

Beautiful wine tonight. Upon uncorking a whiff of age but this blew off quickly. Nice and dark, still quite aromatic with some soy, some five spice in the nose. Smooth & delicious now with resolved tannins. I’ll wait 5-10 years for the other bottle I own. 2009 may have been too soon, bottle #3022 be...

$10 Alexander Valley Cab? Yes, please.

I think the 10 & 11 Cailloux are both drinking nicely now.

Moving shit around I recently found an aged cache of ~ 20 bottles sitting upright in a lay-down case. This was among them: Cayuse in the nose and maybe the initial taste but the color is darker and perhaps this finish is more chemical/halide rather than truly feral. A touch thinner than Cayuse too. ...

Been killing these 2016 Deschutes Abyss on draught at my local place, aged on-site in their cellar.

Fantastic!

I had the weirdest dream about getting all these cases of weird wines like late harvest Petite Sirah and other bizarre one-offs in strange formats while a buddy got complete cases but in very old, decayed cardboard.

In since 2010, have only uncorked two bottles and gifted one to a buddy.

Nice lil stash.

I took Merlot as wife is fond, and this sounds like my jam.

I got Barbaresco for you!
