Domaine les Pallières
Terrasse du Diable Gigondas Red Rhône Blend 2011
Nicely balanced, definitely fruit-forward. Had with Moroccan-spiced dishes and it went really well. Like a lot! — 10 years ago
Fattoria Petrolo
Galatrona Merlot 2010
Just beginning to be ready. Long finish and not so sweet as American Merlot. Nice tannins that could soften over the couple of days to drink this. — 10 years ago
Donkey & Goat
Five Thirteen El Dorado Red Rhone Blend 2012
Another great wine from Jared and Tracy. Drinking really well with some paella. Tart and then lingering finish in the style of a good CDP or Rhone. — 9 years ago

Getting better with time. Second bottle I've opened. First was about a year ago. Nicer acidity and some bright cherry. — 9 years ago
Donkey & Goat
Five Thirteen El Dorado Red Rhone Blend 2012
Serious CDP-style blend. Nice bright cherry with good tannins and still a bit young — 10 years ago
