Maybe the best sparkling wine I’ve had — 6 years ago
Emilio Ramirez Envinate
Benje Tenerife Tinto 2017
Reductive and a little eggy, which has diminished a lot after being open and jostling around my car for a day.
The aroma is packed with crushed pepper, dried herbs, and a hint of gaminess alongside some minerality.
The gamey quality really inserts itself into the flavor along with the crushed black pepper along with some tart Balaton cherry skins and a kiss of candied cherries. The reductive quality is still there lurking in the background. — 6 years ago

Pirouette Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2014
Really enjoyed this.
Aroma: crushed violets, blackberry skin, forest floor, mild lavender, and candied flowers

The tannins are soft and mild, with a very balanced body & acidity. — 6 years ago
Castello di Verduno
Basadone Verduno Pelaverga 2016
One of my favorite Italian reds. Lots of acidity with low tannins. Bright, tart cherry skins with some citrus peel, moderate earthiness, moderate pepper, and tart raspberry. This wine craves food. — 7 years ago
Brandon Norton
Very dry with a great acidity. Notes of white flowers, unripe peach skin, almond, lemon pith, and subtle green apple.
Can’t wait to have this during the summer — 6 years ago
