Bonaccorsi
Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
had the 2012 vintage at my wine shop's recommendation. Great value. Hints of strawberry, hay and earth. Good body and acidity. Fun wine for the price. — 9 years ago
Domaine Chanson (Chanson Père et Fils)
Le Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Nothing distinctive. Minimal fruit, watery. Basically tastes like highly diluted grape juice. Your $22 are much better spent elsewhere. This recommendation from my wine store made me question their judgement. — 9 years ago
Domaine Du Somail
Le Vin de Plume Mourvedre Syrah
Earthy, spicy, some fruit but not a juice bomb. Sophisticated for the $15 price. — 8 years ago
Peachy Canyon
Westside Paso Robles Zinfandel 2013
Medium body, lots of berry, licorice and cherry with some slight pepper. Well balanced. Excellent value. Would definitely buy again. — 9 years ago
Black Sheep Finds
Hocus Pocus Syrah 2012
not usually a syrah drinker. this is excellent for the price. silky, lots of jam, but pretty high alcohol content which makes it heavy on the pepper vector. — 10 years ago
Talbott
Logan Estate Grown Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014
Strikes all the right notes ... Especially for a relatively affordable Pinot ($22). Well balanced, some fruit and earth without much oak, medium body. Highly recommended. — 8 years ago
Talbott
Kali Hart Pinot Noir
Great value. Slightly smokey with cherry notes. Moderate sweetness, decent body. Complex and fun for the price point. — 9 years ago
Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)
Montagny Chardonnay
Refreshing, delightful alternative to a buttery Chard without being too minerally or acidic. I am not a white drinker, but really appreciated this and was disappointed when the bottle ran out after I only got one glass. Don't know the value as I tasted at a relative's house. But, would be a value at mid 20s. — 9 years ago
Ali Moazed
This is a decent table wine, but nothing special. Definitely drinkable. Good for a low price point Pinot noir. — 8 years ago
