• Sep 12, 2009

  Unfortunately, this winery is now closed, due to the economic crisis. I'm disappointed.

  Unlike with my pick for Wine of the Year, which is a wine that has moved me and changed my view of wine in some way, shape or form, I award my Winery of the Year selection to a winery that has had consumer interests at top of mind.This can be seen as a vague statement in that most wineries have their consumers’ interests at heart in one way or a...

  Mid Life Crisis Winery Roo Boy Red 2006

  Snoothrank:

  This is my desert island wine. If I could drink this for the rest of my life I would not be upset. Controlled bomb o'fruit. Perfect for the first snowy night of this winter as it really warms the soul.Paired it with kung pao marinated skirt steak. Could not have paired better. Read More

  From another thread:GregT: " Oh it makes my ears bleed. I need to go and drink a bottle of Sang de Cailloux"Dmcker: "So what's the 'terroir' for the blood of stones? Great naming for a domaine. Too bad you can't really get away with that type of name in English. Guess we have to suffice with 'Big House' or 'Suckfizzle' or '10 Minutes by Tractor'... Read More

  Midlife Crisis Syrah Blend Paso Robles Crisis 2006

  Snoothrank:

  luscious elegant purple-y goodness everywhere. great acidity from the syrah and smoothness from the cabernet. bordeaux influences all over. hence no fruit bomb. can age for 5 years minimum and definitely needs a 1.5 hour decant. Read More

  Midlife Crisis Sangiovese 2006

  Snoothrank:

  So I guess this is what happens when you take a classic old-world grape and bring it to the new. sangiovese meets australian shiraz fruit bomb. not at all what I was expecting, which is a good thing. I love not getting what I expect when the result is still delicious. Went great with ravioli with red sauce. Read More

  Midlife Crisis Merlot Paso Robles 2006

  Snoothrank:

  old-world all the way. very bordeaux-like in its approach with the vegetal component of a Chinon. not much fruit except for a lite black cherry soda note on the finish. nice rich mouthfeel. really good wine with pork roast and baked beans. It would get a higher rating if it was half the price. Read More

  Midlife Crisis Nebbiolo Paso Robles 2006

  Snoothrank:

  terrific potpourri meets jelly belly cotton candy nose with a touch of buttered popcorn. this wine is super light bodied. almost looks like a Rose. the mouthfeel is surprisingly full and creamy. bright acidity with a sour cherry cream pie profile. definitely one of the more unique wines I have had.

  Midlife Crisis Syrah Paso Robles 2006

  Snoothrank:

  raspberry compote for days on the nose and palate. hearty acidity that would go cut through something like a cracked-peppercorn encrusted skirt steak right off the grill. decanted for several hours and it did not lose its zip over the course of the evening.the raspberry element was so chewy I thought i was gonna have to pick the seeds out of my...
