Well made, generous Bordeaux blend — balanced and harmonious w/tons of fruit but lots of earth driven elements on nose & palate. Smooth, sturdy tannins and impressive length on finish. You can tell there is pedigree to the fruit their sourcing — a month ago

Not your typical Rioja. 100% Graciano, a varietal that is normally used as a blending grape. Zesty and tight, but in a good way. (Well structured). Cherry, plum and red flowers on the nose. Same fruits on the pallet with a pleasant toasted oaky finish. Deep red color. Well crafted and interesting. Going to continue to look for this single varietal. — 4 years ago

Liberty Ciderworks, Spokane WA. 55 Chain English Style Cider. Label claims it to be “dry, tannic and fruit-forward” with Dabinett, Chisel Jersey, and Brown’s cider-specific varietals. Golden brown, excellent clarity, light carbonation, not much head on initial pour. Some oak barreling. Lightly malic with restrained aromatics. Tannic level highly complementary with a light touch on the wood extraction, thankfully. Exceedingly well crafted, great stuff. — a year ago

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Franc(10%). Dark ruby color. Bold aromas of dark plums, currants and chocolate. Ripe red fruit on the palate with hints of dark chocolate and baking spices. Nice touch of cedar and smoke on the extremely long finish. Viscous texture, full bodied and plush, but not over the top. Dusty tannins with crisp acidity that leads to beautiful balance. Well crafted elegance in a glass. Great wine! Thanks for bringing this exquisite bottle, Kase! — 4 months ago

For more than 75 years, the Martini family winemakers have crafted wines from Sonoma and Napa counties. Michael Martini, 3rd generation carries on the tradition. 100% Cab, aged in French oak (75% new) for over 2 years. Deep Ruby, aromas of red/black fruit, complex spice with smoky notes. Flavors of blackberry and currants with an earthy character adding a array of spices. Fine tannins, opening nicely, long finish, ending with notes of fruit, cacao & tobacco. Still has room to age. — 3 years ago
