Columbia Valley Cinsaut Rosé 2013

Pleasantly surprised at this one. Still had lots of flavor for the vintage. Nice acidity and went really well with the pasta we had for dinner. Really nice wine for the price point from a newer (at the time) winery. — a year ago

Fiorini

Becco Rosso Grasparossa di Castelvetro Lambrusco 2019

Dry, slight fruit, more tannin and fizz than expected. Paired well with dark chocolate peanut butter cups. This is a crushable bottle on a warm day! — 3 years ago

Le Croyant Heart Of The Hill Vineyard Petite Sirah 2017

Burgundy red, very good clarity. Plum in nose, mouth, raspberry and currant flavors, sweet mint on finish. Slightly tart on initial pour with lots of chewy tannins. Possibly some floral and butter in nose. Tannins soften up two hours after initial pour. A very decent take on this variety with local terroir coming through nicely. — 7 months ago

9.0

Funky nose of wet straw & petrol, which blows off quickly to white/yellow flowers, honeycomb and citrus leaves. Oily, heavier body of apricot/peach fruit cups, mandarin, and quince. Might guess Riesling/Semillion in a blind taste — 3 years ago

Daou Vineyards

Pessimist Paso Robles Red Blend 2021

Bought at Kauai Costco today…tag said 93 rating by one of the big raters. I wouldn’t score it that high at a food truck place in Koloa town. Drank out of cardboard coffee cups. If I had my nice stemware it probably would have scored higher. Under $20. It was OK to open our bottle at the dining tables. No adult beverages sold at any of the 3 food trucks. — 10 months ago

La Monde Columbia Valley Malbec 2019

vanilla and blackberry on the nose.

Smooth and balanced on the palate. Initial hit of acid and ripe fruit gives way to a bit of green pepper before finishing with hints of ripe plums.

Grand Rêve Vintners / Force Majeure

Collaboration Series Force Majeure Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

This is a blockbuster of a wine that still needs more time. Nose of cedar & dark fruit, mouthfeel still quite young and fruit still imprisoned by immense structure.
Interesting notes, since some reviewers describe it as Cab/ Syrah blend, and some straight Syrah; my thoughts is those bottles might have had a higher alcohol content and the reviewers were betrayed by a les-than-perfect identification algorithm, or were in their cups by the time they decided to post a review. Great wine nonetheless!
