v17. Very good!! Dusty, sharp, smoked meat, with plum hints nose. Round, rich, black currant fruit. Long, smooth, dry, slightly astringent leather finish. Fantastic grilled beef wine! — 4 days ago

Stunning sauvignon blanc — 15 days ago
WOW!! Incredibly smooth, well refined and like an angel gently caressing your tongue with a whisk of mature red fruit, a slight bit of jam and a clean, finish. A satisfying mouth feel all the way through, and lingering notes of light smoke, wood and vanilla. I wish I had picked up a second bottle! — 17 days ago
Our go to Friday night Pinot Noir. Always a lovely wine, balanced, full of fruit, and delicious. — 4 days ago
Popped and poured. At this stage the 2015 Judge Family Syrah pours an opaque, ruby color with some obvious staining of the tears. On the nose, clean and youthful with developing vinosity. Stewed red and blue fruits, dark brambles, purple flowers, bacon fat, dry caked earth, stale potpourri, rotondun, and cigar box. On the palate, the wine is dry and all of the notes from the nose are confirmed and accompanied by dark bramble fruit with some chocolate and smoked meat. Tannins are medium+, acid is medium+…and so is alcohol. The finish is long and tart…but more like a SweetTart. This is a very sexy wine with everything in the right places and the moves to match.

Complex nose with aromas of dark fruit, incense, herbal and medicinal notes. Full-bodied, opulent, balanced, not overly sweet. Impressive — 12 days ago

This is the 2012 J. Christopher Willamette Valley Unfiltered Pinot Noir from Newberg, Oregon.
On the nose is bright cherry, strawberry, cranberry, clove, vanilla, sweet oak, barnyard funk, cinnamon and soil.
Onnthe palate I found cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cola, mushroom, hibiscus, black tea, spice and earth.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and fine supple tannins that leaves you with a long red fruit dusty soil finish. This weekend looks to be a good one. Go out and enjoy yourselves and try some nice wines. Stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 4 days ago
