Acceptable $50 bottle of sparkling wine but at $50 one is better off buying Champagne. One dimensional sparkling Chardonnay with yeasty flavor and not much else. — a day ago
Fruity, rough Pinot Noir. Astringent and tough to drink. — 4 days ago

Nice sparkling wine. Good yeastiness. Not much else to it but no off flavors and a good value under $40. Champagne is better but this wine has a nice price tag. — a day ago
Fruity, rustic type of Pinot Noir. If this were a $25 bottle it would be a good buy, but at $50 this wine is not worth buying. Good with casual food like pizza or wings, but not a wine one would want to eat with a formal dinner or steak. — 6 days ago
Powerful but elegant. Ready to drink now but leave it open at least one hour before consuming. Intense black fruit and coffee, smooth tannins in the finish. A steak wine. — 8 days ago
Likely 2030 would be a better time to open this wine. Very powerful, very intense at this age. Must be consumed with steak because it is too strong otherwise. Fortunately I had this Cabernet Sauvignon with filet mignon from Smith & Wollensky and it was a very nice pairing. Smooth and elegant finish. But attack is overwhelming fruit power and thus not complex. — 21 hours ago
Super fruity style Pinot Noir for those who like that style. Good with pizza, spicy food, wings. A good example of the California fruity style but from Willamette. Inelegant and rough but one of the better fruity Pinot Noirs. — a day ago
Unpleasant and astringent Ribera del Duero. A Ribera under $25 but that does not make it worth buying. — 6 days ago
