Light pale straw, lemon and grapefruit, lighter body than I had hoped for with a good amount of acidity and plenty of dry almond and cashew. Held its own against some spicy Thai, but not sure how it would do outside a patio / pool side pounder. — 18 days ago
Fireside wine with some steaks and family in the mountains. Little sweet but definitely a crowd pleaser and I was happy with the price. Love Charles Smith vino. — a month ago
Beautiful white blind, very focused, pear, honey, oyster shell, green olive. Perfect balance of new world fruit and old world handling. — 15 days ago
Solid Napa Cab. Good fruit, slightly thinner than I’d hoped for but would buy again. — a month ago
I don’t normally review wines twice unless I’m tracking age development or comparing vintages…review is what I said in January…Very easy drinking but apparently not memorable. — a month ago
Decanted for 8+ hours, tried at 4 different times. Tasted like church wine on first pop which had me afraid, but a slightly less divine intervention would ensue. Absolutely mouth filling, slightly port wine, I’m in the minority these days that loves a high alcohol wine but this checked a lot of boxes. Strawberry compote and bacon with a heavy mouthfeel. Can’t afford these often but once in a while on Christmas is a nice treat. Probably could hold for 10-15-20 years. — a month ago

For best value wine in the press I expected more. Thin, watery, maybe slightly cooked, cherry. — 11 days ago
