17. Distinctive. Good acidity, light but enough fruit, would be refreshing in summer like a St Nicolas de Bourgueil. Not at all like a southern France Cinsault. — 12 days ago

Well balanced red blend, though don’t know what comprises the mix. Dark fruits with a little oak and vanilla. Light tannins, quite smooth and fruit steps up at the finish. Great TJs buy from the consistently good Bogle. — 6 months ago

An “intermezzo” as we prepared for the reds flights. This was served blind. The 1978 shows really young for its age. Most at the table, including myself, were convinced that this was classified growth Bordeaux with maybe 20-30 years of age. However at least one of us thought it was Napa…and whoa. The color was dark and handsome though there was some sediment (to expected). The fruit was bright but I felt it was secondary to the dried leaf tobacco, earth and leather notes. There was good acid too. Tannins have integrated. Lots of wows when this was revealed while the Napa holdouts gave a smile. Bravo. This could easily live well for another 10 or so years. — 2 years ago

Spicy and peppery, no oak and not too jammy. Very nice. Good with grilled NY Strip. — 2 months ago

Scratches that itch. Hard to tell whether it’s a “true champagne” or a very good cremant, but at closeout prices who cares? 90. — 4 months ago

Similar notes to 3 months ago. Good light easy drinking rose that is red fruit driven with some citrus notes. — 3 years ago

2021 red blend Columbia Valley. Consumed in July 2024. I have previously rated the same bottle, but since this is a different vintage, I thought I would do it again. It’s still consistently a good wine. Goes great with food. I also enjoy it by itself. The bottle does not tell me what the blend is And the bottle talks about mixing street art with wine making.  — 3 months ago

9/2023. My dessert at Chive Blossom, Pawleys Island SC. Nice full flavor with good caramel. Not too sweet either. — a year ago

Super glu, glu w homegrown broccoli rabe and ground pork pasta. Vibrant purple and conjours a bit of the juicy, fresh, snappy character of a good Dolcetto or Valpolicella. — 3 years ago
