La Ferme du Mont

Jugunda Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2018

Very nice Southern Rhône red from Stephane Vedeau, ex-footballer. 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah. 14.5% abv. Bold and big on flavor, but super fresh and precisely balanced. Vibrant red fruit with Mediterranean herbs. Just the right amount of tannins, and a very long finish, ending with dried berries and grass. Really sticks around. I’m surprised the overall Delectable ratings aren’t higher. This is great, and still very affordable for the quality. Paired with Byrd’s Eye View on 180g vinyl (Blue Note Tone Poet repress). — 13 days ago

Casa D'Ambra

Ischia Per''e Palummo Piedirosso 2016

First wine of our Italy 2017 trip! Enjoying this with an amazing view high above Sorrento. Dark berry, clear, no sediment, medium+ viscosity on the eye. Nose sees tart cranberries, ripe strawberries, copper, some manure. Palette sees almost ripe, raw cherries, medium acid, medium tannins - but a lot more than you'd expect from an Italian wine, perhaps. You also get the feeling of little bubble on your tongue (although these are none). Finish is medium length, medium complexity. The balance of the fruity nose with some interesting inorganic notes paired with a more "straight ahead" Italian red with more tannins is a great combo. An enjoyable start to Campagna! — 8 years ago

Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

Pretty good. Slight bitter taste in there somewhere but aerate it and that subsides. — 4 years ago

Belle Pente

Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2015

Classic Yamhill. Packed with flavors of red, blue, and black fruit with subtle minerality noticeable on the palate. The wine is smooth, delicious and well-crafted. 2015 is a warmer vintage but the ripeness doesn’t overwhelm. Rather, it blends beautifully with the other layers and packs enough acidity to deliver a lively and fresh experience. Well done! In my view, Belle Pente is an underrated winery. Keep your eye on these folks. Their wines are good. 2015 vintage on Jan 12, 2020 — 5 years ago

Limpid to the eye, attractive aroma, light body, refreshing taste with just the right amount of sweetness in the fruit and a pleasant finish. Leaves you wanting more.

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A bit young for cab. We had the 1/2 bottle with mash potatoes, broccoli and dry aged rib eye. Wine is not as highly rated as critics' view in my view. — 5 years ago
