Opinion on GTS Wine? (Tom Seaver's winery?)

[Mark_Y]

Someone at work asked me if I wanted to buy any of the 2007 release.

$85 for the GTS Cab
$65 for GTS Nancy Fancy (2nd bottling?)

Anyone had these? worth the price? i’m guessing not, but would like opinion.

I assume you mean it’s good b/c it’s Thomas Brown, and it’s 2007…
i heard the tannins are hard to manage at Diamond Mountain…

anyhow, any opinions on whether to get more of the estate or the 2nd bottling?

Mark, Diamond Mountain tannins can be abusive when young. Rudy von Strasser does a pretty good job up there and I have been fan of his for many years. While I haven’t had any GTS wines, I do trust in TRB’s ability to get the most from what he is given. I would personally take a leap of faith, if you have the means, and get three of each to try out.

Wine was not overly tannic when it was fermenting or immediately in barrel.

Add to that, I’m a lifelong Mets fan, and I am giving serious consideration to these. Hasn’t anyone tasted them recently?

****GTS, Seaver Family Vineyard, Diamond Mountain, cabernet sauvignon 2005: Wonderful. Finesse and balance, this wine wins you over with subtlety and grace. Mostly red fruit driven, it is fairly open knit and nuanced, adding lavender, plum, forest floor and chocolate. Well oaked, the vanilla is complementary and perfectly integrated, buoying the fruit’s natural elements, not overmatching them. The palate too is extremely inviting, balanced and integrated with more dark fruit, cigar leaf and espresso bean. Finish is long, spicy and sweet. I really enjoyed this wine very much and look forward to drinking more of it as it adds some bottle age.

There should be a celebrity wine thread.

Anyone had Boz Scaggs’s wine? I always liked Boz.

Good article in Departures magazine on GTS. Don’t recall who wrote the article (not a well known wine critic), but they really liked the wine. I am sure that a few orders will be filled out in the next week or two with Amex Platinum Card #'s on the bottom.

I did navigate to the GTS website this morning to check it out, and I think that if you read between the lines of TRB’s notes, the wine still sounds like a work in progress.

What’s the web site address? Couldn’t find it.

The article was written by Ray Isle. I read this yesterday and had the magazine on my credenza (it came last week, I think). If you PM me, I’ll scan and email you the article.

I forgot that I get that from Amex. Looking at it now. Thanks a bunch for the offer!

I assume that you are asking about the Magazine website. The content for the July issue is not up on the site, yet. Anyways, sounds like Jay is emailing a scanned copy, so problem solved.
