From bottles pulled to go with dinner over the last week:
2018 Laughing Stock Vineyards Syrah - (the name came from the profession of the husband and wife who started this B.C. winery - they were stock market types). The wine is a blend of syrah and viognier, co-fermented and oak aged. A big lush wine with quite dark colour, and obvious syrah nose. but lifted a bit by the viognier, long and smooth in the mouth and lots of time left.
1994 Rust en Vrede Estate Wine - a South African wine with only 13% alcohol, made from mostly cabernet sauvignon but with some syrah and merlot blended in. Light red colour and significant spiciness in the nose, good balance and length and doing quite well at the age of over two decades..
2002 Hazyblur Baroota Shiraz - this South Australian producer produces a fairly dark wine with lots of plummy and black currant fruit and I swear I was getting cedar rather than oak wood notes from it which made me think that it used French rather than American oak. I checked CT for other notes and saw several indicating that it was cresting or over the hill, but mine was still quite sound, probably a result of consistent cool cellar conditions. It drank quite well.
2000 Lamborghini Campoleone - dark red, nice nose of dark fruit, slightly low acid, good length. Now in best drinking shape.
2018 El Enemigo Chardonnay - this Argentine chard has one of the heaviest bottles I've hefted in awhile, and showed pear fruit and vanilla. The oak, which used to be a tad prominent has moderated and it is in a good drinking window now.
