This is still holding its structure and flavor at 9 years in. Complex and savory with plenty of tannin nada nice balanced backbone of red and black skinned soft-fruits. Just a hint of wood and herbaceous-ness too. Good juice. — 13 hours ago

A last bottle from Rock Wall. They closed up for ever, so these are literally the last of these bottles ever. 14.68% ABV! Ripe fruits. Deep color. Crimson and opaque. Smells pretty much like a complex style Zin. Berry jams and campfires. Hint of a licorice scent in the mix too. Flavors are lovely. Balanced and dense. Zin fruit flavor coupled with a bit of rock and mossy streams. (Label mentions nutmeg, honey, ground pepper, berry pie and cappuccino. I can see most of that. But this isn’t fruit bombed or too syrupy at all). Sad to see you go Rock Wall, you were always worth a splurge at Grocery Outlet. — 9 days ago

BTW, this is not the Adam Carolla wine. It’s something else. This is a-ok. A decent little rosé. Clean. Balanced. Very drinkable, but fine with foods like pulled pork and salad too. This is a bro to bring home ;-). — 11 days ago

Fairly basic label. Back label says sustainable winery. Bottle is heavy duty. Good for the 10 years it’s been in there. Dark color in the glass. Smells a hint resinous, but there is a layer of rich, ripe fruit as well. Flavors are big. Chocolate and mocha to pair with the berries and licorice stuff. This is a decent Cab from the Paso region. — 14 hours ago

Eye catching label. Heavy, dense bottle. Lots of medals and awards. This has a lot of style before you even open the cork. Pretty color of under-ripe black cherries. Aroma is strange. Not much fruit. Bit of dust or ground rocks. Also like a plaster of Paris or freshly painted room smell (but not in a bad way). Quite floral. Tea Roses. Flavor is very Spanish. Dry and woody. Cedar? Plenty of minerality. Just a touch of cherry juice. Plenty of biting bittersweetness. It’s a nice Granacha example to show the unique flavors of this French grape that rocks in Spain. Great bottle of wine. — 9 days ago

‘Vin de France’, so could be from anywhere it’s allowed I guess. Seems like it might be targeted towards the international style. Dark color. Kinda fuller CA Pinot color. Smells fairly ripe with a streak of toast. Let’s call it berry/cherry pie. Also has a woodsy smell. Flavors are full and you get a hint of oaky vanilla. It’s heavier than a lot of Pinot I’ve had. Definitely drink New World. Label says, “…fruit forward, medium bodied with hints of cherry, vanilla and chocolate.” Yup. — 14 days ago

8.5

Simple slightly hipster style label. Back has a “spritz” recipe. Guess this isn’t a fine wine. Color of ever so slightly greenish-gold. Smells like citrus, green grapes (Thompson seedless), golden raisins and a wet rock. Fuller and richer than any other grüner veltliner I’ve tried. Like a CA Sauv Blanc or a French Chablis style. It’s a pool side sipper. Maybe as a spritz if you’re feeling festive. — 15 days ago
