Agree with Ashley Lanie. So much complexity here for $24 on the shelf. Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah, and Cabernet. Leather, tobacco leaf, and baking chocolate all wound up in a robe of juicy cherries and red berries. Nose is super mature. Sangiovese explains the acidity. Wine is drinking great! — 6 days ago

Don’t think this is the right wine but have to double check. Earthy. Meh. First Brazilian wine I’ve tasted. — 10 days ago

Killer domestic value from the Gabilan Mountains of Monterey. Mostly Mourvèdre with Grenache and Syrah. Needs time to open up and unwind. Raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, black and white pepper, and an earthy streak of something feral. Whole cluster fermented in concrete and neutral barrel. Bright, but structure and weight are added with air. Organic. — 18 days ago

Toasty and rich, with Graves like goodness.
Pineapple, lemon curd, and spiced gooseberry.
Seems to be feeling a bit of its age here. — 15 days ago

Beast! Big, burly, brooding, and bawesome.
Rich and gamey with smoky olive brine and savory layers of earth. Tucking a couple away. — 24 days ago

I applaud the effort but hard to believe this is Nebbiolo. Deep and fruit forward, maybe even off-dry? Rich, concentrated pomegranate character but bottled in clear glass as if meant to be drunk young and chilled. Grapey. — 10 days ago

As neutral as Chardonnay can be. Soft, round orchard fruit and spring blossom. Very easy drinking but alcohol sticks out a bit at 13.5% — 11 days ago

Nice concentration of red and black fruits with well integrated oak and silky, polished tannins. Drinking very well. — 23 days ago
