am I buying the stagecoach?

Paul_Chubb · January 30, 2011, 4:39pm

i’ve been there recently but didn’t get a taste. i am wondering the same thing, and probably leaning towards buying it.

What is this thread about?

M_Kelly · January 30, 2011, 7:25pm

No different from the discussions on what 09 burgs to buy, or other vintages to backfill.

Stuart_BeauneHead_Niemtzow · January 30, 2011, 7:54pm

It’s probably “no different” from a million other threads, “M”…but…what is the subject of this one was/is my question?

I can’t tell.

What/where is “ao”?

M_Kelly · January 30, 2011, 8:01pm

AO is a winery in Napa, that the Napa guys seem to like.

We would not like it.

I can’t seem to change the “M” thing, but my name is Mike and written below.

08 syrah? Is that what you’re talking about?

Hey, guys, I think things are getting a wee bit solipsistic out there on the Left Coast. First we’re told that by failing to sit up and post about some winery called Cabot, the eBob audience has demonstrated its cluelessness. Now the Next New Thing is reduced to mere initials so the uninitiated can’t divine what the cognescenti are talking about.

I had a quick taste of this maybe two weeks ago? at their release party. I wasn’t paying super close attention, but I remember good fruit, density in the midpalate and it being quite young. I personally think most AO’s need close to a year from release before they show best for my palate – but regardless, for AO fan’s I’d think this a no-regrets buy.

(Been trying to hook up a run through the entire 08 line-up, will have a better report then)

If you are talking about the 09 stagecoach cab, my notes are below from a visit back in October.

Slow news day in Burgundy? Wtf. If you don’t understand what someone is asking you probably couldnt answer even if you did.
