Solid fruit forward, but this vintage lacks the structure I found in the older ones. — 3 days ago

Medium bodied, fresh and bright frappato. Nice and balanced wine, and carried well to the next day. — 19 days ago

Nice sturdy Nero D’Avola. I am new to this grape so need to taste more. One thing is clear, this is a great wine for food pairings. Took a long time to open up and then started singing! — 5 days ago

The 2015 BDX continue to amaze and this Fronsac fits the bill. No decanting necessary. Jumping out of the bottle with beautiful red fruit and cassis notes, silky, and nicely balanced and integrated tannins, at such a young age, I am amazed. Feels like drinking a Grand Cru from a slightly lesser vintage. Great value too. If I can find it, I’ll buy a case. Hopefully two. — 21 days ago

Superb blend with 81% Petit Syrah, 14% Tannat, and 5% Tempranillo. Very dark, good structure, and unlike the ‘15 vintage, not overly austere. In fact, there are many layers of cassis and black fruit. Delicious! — 2 months ago

This 18 Apothic blend surprised me. I haven’t been a fan in the past, but this is exactly what the label says - smooth and rich. Lack of structure though. Still very quaffable, especially in Lake Tahoe after a huge day of hiking. 😎 — 7 days ago

Captivating Bolgheri. Cabernet Sauvignon in the foreground. At 8 years, nicely integrated. Layers of red fruit, and delicious residual acidity. This wine jumped right out of the bottle, no decanting necessary. Great value too, I am going to try to find a case. — 24 days ago

Very unique cab, maybe because I don’t get to try a lot of Sonoma/Alexander Valley cabs. This one is almost medium bodied, almost austere, plenty of red fruit. Very delicious. Closer to a good Chianti than a big cab. I am intrigued. — a month ago
