Relatively aged Zin. Nice color. Classic ruby red. Aromas of smoke, berry jam, and hot rocks. Flavors are jammy and classic for Zin. A hint of brandy though. This is insane ABV (16.14%)! I didn’t even know you could make wine that high without fortification. It’s still fairly balanced. Has a nice grippy finish. Warm. Toasty. A damn good Zin. On point. — 15 hours ago

Dark and purple. Aroma is more herbal. Sage and marjoram. Flavors are dry as AF. Tongue is very dried out. Chewy. But complex. Denser. — 3 days ago

This one is Camel Hill Vineyard Syrah. Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. Color of sangre. Rose petal red. Aromas are menthol, tree barks, and elderberry. Flavors are a bit blunt. Hint savory, but slightly muddy and pretty tart. Unbalanced. No fruit just acids and savory earthy stuff. Raw beets with cranberry juice. It’s hot (14.7% ABV). It’s just boring flavor-wise. — 5 days ago

Castle on the label. Light color. Very thin. This ain’t interesting. It’s meh. It’s fairly standard thin spaghetti Chianti. — 3 days ago

Deep dark color. Smells like wet rocks and smoke. Elegant and complex. Woodsy. Like cut wood. Anise. More of an old world Sangiovese. — 3 days ago

This one isn’t Pinot. It’s Petite Sirah from Bear Ranch in The Livermore Valley. And uhmm, it’s great stuff. Opaque purple-maroon in the glass. Smells like a proper petite with lots of cut wood and dark berry smells (blackberry, cassis, elderberry, etc). Flavors are hearty and tannic as one would expect from Petite. But also clean and gratifying. Has graphite, rocks and licorice to go with the berry sauce. Cassis (black currant) is well represented. This is classic great Petite Sirah. I gotta get more. Think it’s under $10 at grocery outlet right now… — 8 days ago

Ok that’s a silly label. But catchy. Screw-top. Nice color. Almost pink. Smells like candies. Cherry-berry candy. Flavors are very easy and meh. This is a cheap, bland Pinot. Not bad, but not really anything to ponder. I got very few feelings for/from it. — 4 days ago
