Very good Rosso di Montalcino! Especially with hard cheese and Italian bread! Would also be great with pasta, grilled meats, etc al. Just okay as a sipping wine but comes alive with food!Cherries, brambley fruits, low tannins, good qpr especially as compared to Brunello! — 6 days ago

Good Malbec especially for a California Malbec. Very smooth and fruity right out of the bottle. Good sipping wine or beef, pork, even salmon. I would buy this again. — 5 months ago

Zinfandel as it should be! Absolutely at it’s peak with mild tannins, loads of spicy fruit and wonderful mouthfeel. Great to just pour and sip although it pairs very nicely with grilled meat, hard cheese and crusty bread. This would be an awesome burger wine but would also go perfectly with a nonfatty meat like filet although a rib eye would be especially good with its marbling and juicy fats. Every Meeker wine is a cut above the crowd. — a year ago

Absolutely perfect pairing with a nice filet of beef and crab cake. The nose gets your attention first of course and while it needs a bit of time out of the bottle, it’s totally worth it. Properly decanted and served at around 64-65 degrees, this is definitely worth seeking out again. — 2 months ago

Just okay at best. Despite the high vintage ratings, this particular wine is thin with no real attributes to make me want to try it again. Highly disappointed. — 9 months ago

A quite different Italian blend that while very good, seems it might be limited to red meats, particularly grilled but not so much for pork or pasta dishes. I really liked it obviously but didn’t love it. The flavor is very distinct certainly but one glass at a time is enough. — a year ago

Superb wine with rich berries, a wonderful nose and very low tannins. Very ready to drink immediately with no more aging and no decanting needed. This pairs nicely with pasta, pork, grilled red meats and hard cheeses. Some crusty bread and good dipping oil on the side. Yum!! — 3 months ago

Good but not great.Tastes a little “hot” at first. Much better with food but definitely not a sipping wine. The underlying flavors are typical California Zin and the alcohol level is a bit high. Be best with burgers, bbq pork or pizza. — 5 months ago

Wow! What an awesome amazing wine! Might be the absolute best Petite Sirah I’ve ever drank! Marvelous nose, very soft tannins and yet enough structure and youth to suggest longer term storage. Rich, jammy purple fruit, wonderful lingering mouthfeel and just lovely texture to hold before swallowing. Definitely a keeper. — a year ago
