Semilla by Jessica Tomei
Sierra Foothills Zinfandel 2012
Ruby Red with high viscosity. High alcohol on the nose. Thin on entry with a huge oak monster on the end. If you don't have the bones just do a shot of some cheap cherry vodka and rub some wood chops on your tongue. Although disjointed there is a powerful impact on your palate when the amalgam separates. — 12 years ago
Willamette Valley Vineyards
Founders' Reserve Pinot Noir 2009
Dark red, yet not the usual viscosity of a dark red. Slightly carbonated feel with chewy tannins. Floral and fruit on the nose. Cherry fruit rollup on the palate from start to finish (albeit brief finish) — 12 years ago
Bodegas La Purisima
Valcorso Syrah 2012
Couldn't even finish it. Used it for cooking only. — 11 years ago
Francis Ford Coppola Winery
Director's Cut Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2010
Not in to Chardonnay, but for 2 bones more than the regular version; the directors cut has amazing texture that coats your tongue. Tremendous finish that lasts eons and continues to delight while carrying on your conversation. This could carry you in the worst of conversations because it only gets better and the joy reaches your mind fast. — 12 years ago
Sokol Blosser
Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2010
Very soft and velvety tannins. A slight dirty sock component on the nose and but a delicious earthy element on the palate. Dark fruits and a touch of chocolate at the finish. — 12 years ago
Pierre Sparr
Alsace Pinot Blanc 2011
Fantastique! Balance from start to finish, and it continues to dance on your tongue long after it descends to your stomach. Great minerality with a crispness that brings an endless refreshing feeling. Citrus peels and a slight woodiness. — 12 years ago
90 Ninety + Cellars
Gran Reserva Lot 53 Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Love the nose, a certain stank; yet fruity. Great tannins that last on the palate, but no oak monster. A little bity with the alcohol and slightly disjointed going from start to finish, but loooong finish. Good value for the bones. — 11 years ago
Francis Ford Coppola Winery
Diamond Collection Gold Label Monterey County Chardonnay 2010
Meh, slightly carbonated hard lemonade from the local grocery on route 17 heading to Pa or OH stick ville. — 12 years ago
Soléna
Grande Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2011
I'm in love!!! Deep dark red with high viscosity that coats your moth through and through. Like I just bounded through the woods and hand picked some cinnamon and other spices. The tannins continue the party long after its down your throat and in your belly. The after party is totally present. — 12 years ago

Great acidity...and sooo dark you can't see through it. Best Italian vino in a long time.
