Whitehaven

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

9.0

I find this to be an easy drinker and a good value. Fruit salad- plenty of peach, pineapple, apricots, lemon, and some grass. A hint of tar in the nose.

9.0

Yum! Upon opening this had a pleasant warm pastry deal on the nose. Light and fruity, and on day 3 the last glass was 👍

Red Bordeaux Blend 2023

Dave

8.7

Apparently I had this 6 months ago and forgot about it. It's still not amazing. I like the barnyard on the nose, though.

Château Roc de Levraut

Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

Dave

8.8

Cheap Bordeaux today. This is just ok, some dark fruit, some earth, enjoyable tannins. Would play nice with steak or a burger.

My drummer brought this to practice. It's good, full blackberry and plum flavors with a little spice.

Sounds tasty. I used to drink Decoy wines all the time when I first got into wine. Maybe I should try some again.

Dave

I've had several bottles, usually when I'm on vacation and it's the best thing at the store 😊 But it's usually tasty. @Joel Lara

Villa Schinosa

Puglia IGT Primitivo 2023

Dave

8.7

Heavy duty and wooly bully tannins. Bit of a metallic taste that isn't great.

You better know it. I got them metallic prinotivo blues @Seth Masterson

Rocca di Castagnoli

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

Dave

8.9

I don't spend a lot on Chianti. In the $20 range there are plenty of winners and losers. This is pretty good. Juicy cherries, chewy tannins, vibrant acidity. Better than the average 8.7 score it's received.

@Dave, I agree with your $20 or so perspective on Chianti Classico!!

Dave

I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've spent more than $40 on CC. @Doug Powers

Doug Powers

@Dave, I likely have never even reached ONE such CC as far as pricing!!

This is Over The Vines House White, 2025.
I officiated a wedding at a winery today, and had a taste of their wares. Nobody on staff could tell me what grapes were used, nor could the internet. It tastes green, like Soave. That's all I got.
