The Wines (notes will be distributed at the dinner):
2020 Weingut Gunther Steinmetz Braunberger Juffer Riesling "GB" ($33) - I purchased a mixed case of this winemakers Rieslings and truthfully the labels don't match the importers descriptions, so I'm not sure which wines I got from the offering. BUT, I've enjoyed them all, and I think a dry Riesling is a great way to start a dinner off at OM. The following, MIGHT be a critic review, "A deep and dark dry Riesling with massive wet-earth minerality. Concentrated mirabelle fruit behind it and almost subliminal acidity that keeps it very fresh and clean. Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold. (9/23/21) " 96 Stuart Piggott"

2020 Soos Creek Cabernet Franc ($32) - From the Champoux vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills. From the winemaker, "The grapes were inadvertently picked at a lower brix (less sugar) because a change in viticultural practices slowed down their ripening. The difference in the character of the wine is a nice change of pace with flavors that are more red than black fruits, lower alcohol (13%), and higher acid. The character of the wine reminds me of a good Pinot Noir." We had a Soos Creek Cab Franc at our last OM dinner and it was a HIT. This one is a little younger and lower in alcohol. Let's see how we like it!

2018 Crous St. Martin Chateauneuf-du-Pape Hommage a L'an 1879 ($22) - ANOTHER mystery wine from Garagiste. CT 89.8, trying to find information on this one is difficult as there are 2 CdPs with similar names. Best I can tell this one is 80% Grenache and 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah.

2018 Auclair Left Blend Red Mountain ($35) - CT 91.7, another mystery wine from Garagiste! A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. 94 points from the Wine Enthusiast. My last of 4 bottles, and I've brought them all to OM! It seems to go great with their food!

2012 Robert Young Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Scion ($40) - CT 91.7. A Sonoma County Cab Sauvignon! I don't buy many of those! I've been holding this for almost a decade, and I'd like to try one out! WA 89+ points, "The 2012 Scion pays respect to Robert Young, who was the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in the Alexander Valley in 1963. Toasted oak, a notion of new saddle leather, black currants and plums are present in this deep ruby/purple-colored wine. Still structured, tannic and youthful, this is a Cabernet Sauvignon clearly built to age. It has that distinct earthiness that is often part of an Alexander Valley personality. This medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic wine needs another 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for at least two decades. (drink 2020-2040)"
