Handsome Devil
Clos du Val Wine Co.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1978
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

Finca Decero
The Owl & The Dust Devil Remolinos Vineyard Malbec Blend
Bought this just to “try” with several friends at a home get together of several grilled meats; pork, beef and lamb “pieces”. The wine seemed to work nicely with all. Deep, strong hints of fruit and good tannin; I was a bit surprised because of the blends but found it to be a keeper. It has become one of our favorite wines to bring to others when visiting! Good reviews from all who received it!

Concha y Toro
Reserva Casillero del Diablo Carménère 2019
This wine is different, and I like it! Nice change of pace. Very different aroma. Raspberry, almost sweet but mostly earth, mineral and stone. The spice is dominant up front and lingers with firm tannins. Mild to medium acidity. The devil insignia is cool. — 4 years ago

Domaine des Romarins
Côtes du Rhône Grenache Blend 2020
This was an easy drinking little gem that we enjoyed over a few hours. Dark red and looking luscious, it’s aromas came streaming out in a harmonious orchestra of manly musks: smoky leather, dark cherry, and soft floral arrangements. Handsome. Drinking offers other pleasures like earthy minerality and spiced plum pie. — 3 years ago

Beautiful and very well rounded. Less sweet than I usually like but still so tasty. Very full on the nose- hints of flush red fruit. Nice acidity and tannin balance. — 3 months ago
