So much typicity. Lime blossom, white peach, mineral water. Nearly effervescent crispness. A wonderful nightcap after a gorgeous meal at Atrevo in Porto. — 9 hours ago

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! — 15 days ago

Don’t think this is the right wine but have to double check. Earthy. Meh. First Brazilian wine I’ve tasted. — 19 days ago

9.3

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. — a month ago

@Delectable this is the “Prellenkirchen” 90% Gruner Veltliner and 10% Riesling. Dark in the glass, light skin contact? Drinking great ten years on and ready to go here. With veal sausage at Donau in Porto. — 17 hours ago

Toasty and rich, with Graves like goodness.
Pineapple, lemon curd, and spiced gooseberry.
Seems to be feeling a bit of its age here. — 24 days ago

Blind tasting for the staff. Still loads of tannin here but approachable enough. Dried black currant, mulberry, and licorice root. Garrigue. They all guessed ten year old Southern Rhone or Bordeaux. Lovely. Got this on sale for $27 about 5 years ago. — 17 hours 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. — 19 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% — 20 days ago
