Dolce Winery

Late Harvest Napa Valley Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2015

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2015 Late Harvest Wine is redolent of tangerine peel, crème brûlée, spice, ginger, coffee and new French oak. This mid-weight, intensely aromatic late harvest dessert wine is very nicely balanced. Drink it over the next handful of years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2023) — a year ago

Le Vieux Pin

Cuvée Violette Syrah 2021

After a 1 hour decant this was a wonderful, well-balanced Syrah. It paired very well with a pork tenderloin. — 4 months ago

Daou Vineyards

Pessimist Paso Robles Red Blend 2021

Delectable Wine
9.0

A wildly fresh bouquet of violets, lavender, cooling smoke and sugar-dusted blueberries wafts up as the 2021 Pessimist by DAOU unfolds in the glass. It's soft-textured yet energetic in style. Candied citrus hints accentuate cooling mineral tones and crisp wild berry fruits. The 2021 finishes with impressive length yet lightly structured. Violette Pastille and crunchy mineral tones slowly fade. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023) — a year ago

Light golden hue, honeysuckle and peach nose, wine opens up and goes well with food. It’s a little past its prime but is still nice. — 5 months ago
