A bit after the fact, but I discovered some notes on my phone from a really lovely day’s drinking with some wine trade crew at Greg Sherwood’s place back in late July. The notes are a little terse, as they were taken on an iPhone, but I felt that these wines needed to be recorded. I’ve already written up the ros\u00e9s<\/a> that we started with.<\/p>\n

Savage The Girl Next Door Syrah 2017 South Africa<\/strong>
\n[Top left in picture.] This is a Syrah from a tiny vineyard planted on the estate Duncan lives on in Nordhoek. It’s hand-tended, and only 760 bottles of this were made. It’a quite a stunning wine and I rated it even higher more recently. Lovely focus. Generous and supple with some peppery hints. Sleek and focused. So fine. 95\/100<\/p>\n

The Juice Asylum Il Terzo Grado 2017 Tuscany, Italy<\/strong>
\nSecond vintage of this lovely, smashable wine, which is imported by Woodwinters. It’s a co-ferment of organically grown\u00a0Sangiovese and Merlot, with the grapes coming from Montepulciano.\u00a0Juicy supple and fresh with grainy cherry and plum fruit. Some sweet juicy fruit with a lovely green hint. 92\/100<\/p>\n

Jean-Luc Jamet Syrah Valine 2014 Northern Rh\u00f4ne, France<\/strong>
\nPretty smart wine. Peppery and expressive with plums and spice and black cherry. Lively and juicy with real focus and finesse. 93\/100<\/p>\n

Rinaldi Langhe Nebbiolo 2015 Piedmont, Italy<\/strong>
\nFocused sweet cherry and plum fruit. Lovely bright fruit with some supple cherries and herbs. Very fine and detailed 93<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Garnacha not Guerra Vino Rosso 2016 Italy<\/strong>
\nThis is made by Mick O’Connell in Sardinia. Fine, supple and fresh with sweet cherries and plums. So fresh and elegant with vivid red fruits. Elegant and bright. 93\/100<\/p>\n

La Garagista Lupo in Bocca Ros\u00e9 2016 Vermont<\/strong>
\nAnother lovely wine from Deirdre Heekin in Vermont made with latest-generation hybrid varieties. Apples, pears and a bit of spice. Supple and fresh with a bright juicy quality. Textured and natural. 89\/100<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Latour-Martillac Blanc 2001 Pessac-L\u00e9ognan, Graves, Bordeaux<\/strong>
\nA serious white Bordeaux with a bit of age on it. Complex and toasty with lovely citrus and grapefruit nuts and fennel. 92\/100<\/p>\n

Lopez de Heredia Vi\u00f1a\u00a0Tondonia Blanco Reserva 2004 Rioja, Spain<\/strong>
\nGlad I have a few more of these tucked away. A complex, nutty white wine with a lemony core. Powerful, youthful and tangy with lovely marmalade and spice detail. Just beginning its journey. 94\/100<\/p>\n

Rafael Palacios As Sortes 2016 Val do Bibei, Ribera Sacre, Spain<\/strong>
\nSerious stuff, which should age well. Generous pear and peach fruit with nice tangerine and lemon notes. Lovely complexity and depth. 93\/100<\/p>\n

Kutch Chardonnay 2016 Sonoma Coast, California<\/strong>
\nThis is proper stuff. Taut and fresh with bright citrus fruit and a mineral edge. Bright and fine with lovely brisk lemony notes and a mineral core. 94\/100<\/p>\n
