High quality non-German dry Riesling. Classic profile, with hints of lime and slate. Quite refined. If this ages well, it may merit an even higher score. — 7 years ago
I think this may be my favorite Trader Joe’s wine. 😱 Great tannins, dry, light oakyness that blends together well. Opened this bottle a few days ago and it has kept quite well. 😋 — 8 years ago
Pinot noir z RPA, przyjemnie zrównoważone, jest wszystko co ma być, wiśnia, bez, czereśnia — 2 years ago
This score may be a tad on the generous side, but it was really was an enjoyable bottle of wine. A solid, medium-bodied weeknight blend with notes of red fruit, cocoa, pepper, and a bit of smoke. Very laid-back and kick-ass. 70% Merlot, 30% Shiraz. 4/19/23. — 4 years ago

We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.
Nose has dried vanilla bean, dehydrated cherry, oak sawdust, mashed blackberry, used coffee grounds, dried strawberry and dried blueberry.
Palate has tanned leather, very dried cherry, over-ripe plum, plum skin, hardwood charcoal, dried raspberry with a mildly tannic grip remaining.
This bottle is in its sweet spot, likely will hold here (in proper storage) for another 5-8 years before decline. Don't ever count out Chilean wines for longevity!
Paired with a beautiful merlot steak from a local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm), boiled then smashed red potatoes finished with a compound herb butter and fresh, local asparagus. I'm finally grilling, and it's barely May!
(Also a stellar pairing with dark chocolate peanut butter cups!) — 6 years ago
