Icewine Vidal 2017
This is exactly what it’s supposed to be. Problem is that it’s not exactly what I want in wine. Dessert Wine: yes yes the syrupy aroma clearly lets you know what’s ahead. The fruit flavors are hidden behind the nectar but full flavored and fulfilling its purpose. — 2 months ago
Balius
Precision Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Rich, smooth and well balanced; excellent bargain. Little too sweet and grapy to rate a fine Napa Cab. — 3 months ago
Diora
La Petite Grace Monterey Pinot Noir 2015
Introduction on the nose is rich and enticing. The mouth is very dry with a subtle bright spot. The flavors are rich smooth and just light enough to stay true to Pinot Noir. Some noticeable tannins remain though nothing harsh. A slightly bitter finish takes away from an extraordinary rating. The glass is a pleasing accompaniment to a relaxing evening. — 8 days ago
Flowers Vineyard & Winery
Sonoma Coast Rosé Blend 2015
Perfectly dry with some bright acids. Thin flavors of strawberry and citrus. — 3 months ago
Penfolds
Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2015
Dark and rich, very smooth, dry and light on tannins; starts with bold aroma like it will be in-your-face. — 3 months ago
Idiosyncrasy
Reserve Napa valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
The expectation for a Napa Cabernet starts with the full aroma and continues smooth and rich. Idiosyncrasy fulfills that expectation. Not much of the pepper flavors, just rich and smooth and earthy. — 2 months ago
Vie di Romans
Dessimis Pinot Grigio 2018
Certainly dry (like that) sharp citrus and pleasing light aroma. Not at all like any Pinot Grigio. Pink orange color, more residual tannin than it should and a strange long bitterness. — 2 months ago
Bodegas Ego
Goru Gold Monastrell Blend 2017
Yep, the work of an experienced vintner. This is rich and smooth, blended to delicious a well balanced glass. — 3 months ago
Tommasi
Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012
This had been in storage for 5 years. We rescued it just in time. Of course it’s very smooth 8 years in the bottle. The grapyness faded by the second pour and left a pleasing balanced semi rich wine. — 5 months ago
Greg Helmer
Just enough residual tannin to support the rich fruit forward flavors. Dry and smooth and a hint of Cabernet aroma to lead off. — 5 days ago
