2015 Ancient Vine Teldeschi Vineyard Zinfandel

How this beautiful wine got only 90pts? I don't know.

This is one I want around all the time.

Violets on the nose and dark fruits on taste. Everything you would want in a pie*

Did I mention this is on the list at the F.L.? Shhh



Have to have this one with BBQ

Peppery and smokey. Tasted this with the ladies of Planet Wine and my colleague. This wine... Beauty.

Little bit of brett, but I definitely don’t mind.

2015 Walter Hansel Cahill Pinot

One of the most age-worthy Russian River Pinots I've had in a minute.

Tons of cherry, cola impact on the nose. "Sweeter" vanilla on the palate.

Didn't agree with any tasting notes. Thought this one had a lot of sharp, tart fruits. Lemon, green apple.. etc. Love this Chardonnay.
