Bring Back the Sawyer

Bottle number 11 of a case purchased at the Foley sale for basically 10% of retail. A sister-case of 2006 faded into oblivion several years ago, but these proved a bit stronger. First whiff on pour said, “Gone,” but quickly breathed off the bottle funk and actualy became charming. Oh it’s beyond peak–don’t get me wrong–but fading gently without the cooked nothingness the ’06 showed. Amber-brick…

Pre Covid Nostalgia & Wine Lists

Pre Covid Nostalgia & Wine Lists

As I scroll through the wine list, I can feel tears pushing against my eyes. I haven’t worked in a wine shop in years. Haven’t had a sip of alcohol since I had my daughter. I haven’t been back to this restaurant – Meritage, an Old World, floor-to-ceiling windowed establishment in the heart of St Paul, Minnesota–since the pandemic hit. Just about every important milestone of my life, professional…

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon A natural cross varietal of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Black grape varietal originating from the South of France, notably the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Notable for pronounced black fruit and herbaceous aromas and flavors. Can produce outstanding wines that can age in the bottle for many, many years. Requires moderate to warm climates, though the best vintages are…

2013 @osoyooslarose Pétales d’Osoyoos VQA Okanagan Valley - 2nd wine of Osoyoos Larose, this blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Malbec and Petite Verdot shows gorgeous notes of plum, cherry, vanilla, toast and cream. Certainly #bordeaux like, this #meritage has great balance in terms of acid and soft tannin. Ultra dry; this could easily be blinded for an aged Right Bank vintage from St. Emilion. This B.C. red blend is in a great spot for immediate enjoyment and will continue to reward over the next number of years. #bcwine #vqa #okanaganvalley #osoyooslarose #2013 (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CExikR_hlxK/?igshid=96uj360m7ko

Adult Dessert

Black impenetrable staining… SO staining I’m sure these glasses will never be clear again. Big buttery heat off the nose, a fruit so ridiculously macerated beyond comprehension it goes pond-water in warmth and growth. Alcohol with a tinge of Ajax or Comet curls nostril-hairs. Tasting it improves things a bit, so just lie back and think of England on this one. Chewy green ire vie for dominance…

Jones

Indiana Jones picked up the artifact.  Immediately boobie traps went off; arrows shot, rocks fell, the floor collapsed, and Indiana escaped it all.

He ran out to where his plane by chased by the tribe people.  He exclaimed, “This belongs in a museum!”

A tribe person replied, “Actually our ancestors made that long ago.  It’s part of our heritage and has been passed down.  What you are doing is basically like us breaking into your house and stealing something of yours.”

Indiana stopped.  Everything he knew wasn’t true anymore.

Rodney Strong 2014 Symmetry: Symmetry is the producer’s flagship. A blend of best barrels, this Cabernet Sauvignon-led Meritage is sourced from estate properties. It pours deep garnet-purple. In the mouth it is rich and layered yet well-balanced, combining plum, ripe blackberry and licorice with faint hints of mocha and forest floor, ending with mildly dry tannins. Delicious wine; begs to be paired with a hearty meal.

Here are two big red wines for you from @churchandstatewines, a #Meritage and a #Syrah.  The Syrah grapes are grown in the Coyote Bowl vineyard in the Oliver-Osoyoos wine region in the Okanagan Valley.  The Coyote Bowl Vineyard had originally been three contiguous 10-acre orchards, situated along a large gravel bowl on the Black Sage Bench. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, and Petit Verdot are grown in the Coyote Bowl vineyard.  Church & State Wines Coyote Bowl Series Syrah 2016 - wow this wine comes in at 15.5% alc.  I'm expecting a big wine and that's what I got.  This wine is opaque ruby to the rim in colour.  It has a medium minus intensity nose, very beautifully aromatic.  Vanilla, purple fruit, light sweet spices, cedar, baby powder and plums on the nose.  This wine is off-dry with a bigger body and flavour intensity. It is round, soft and silky plush on the palate.  It offers ripe sweet purple fruits, vanilla, ripe black plums and vanilla.  There are also touches of minerality, sweet spices, perfume and cedar.  Medium strength, fine grained tannins, that don't stand out.  It has a longer length finishing with light pepperiness, cedar, vanilla and purple fruit.  More acidity than tannins on the finish. Church & State Wines Meritage 2017 - a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, in unknown percentages.  This wine is almost opaque garnet, with some lightness along the rim.  It has a medium plus intensity nose showing red fruit, sweet spices, cedar, nutmeg and cinnamon, black berries, oao and black pepper aromatics. This wine is dry, medium bodied with medium plus flavour intensity.  The wine is not fully round  and has a thinner mouthfeel.  Medium acidity and medium plus tannins.  Black berries, ripe raspberries and plums, and black pepper on the palate.  There is a touch of floral on the mid palate.  The wine has a medium plus to long finish with drying chalky tannins, black fruit, black berries, a touch of floral and pepperiness.  Stay tuned for my full tasting notes on mywinepal.com #wineoclock #wines #grape #bcvqa #somm #drinkwine #redwine #bcwine #winelovers #wineblogger #bcwineries https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxFh1uhbz8/?igshid=xnyi3e8cx8sx
