Rogue Valley Estate Pinot Noir 2021

Bill Mowry
8.9

From a tasting excursion to the Rouge Valley in Oregon, I did the Vineyard to Table tasting at the winery. It was a great experience with a three course pairing. This Pinot was matched with pork belly which was exquisitely prepared by their own chef. Still young with tastes of cherries, olives, and rosemary. It will get even better with some age. — 10 days ago

Vin de Pays du Vaucluse Red Rhône Blend 2021

Rhonely Boy
8.9

Solid wine, good price point at under $20.

The earthiness (dense rich soil) is a bit forward, not ness bad but pronounced and in a “I do not know this terroir” category (a reason I love wine).

Id give it a year, and pair it with hearty fare like pot roast or barbacoa.

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Rhonely Boy
9.1

Very nice Margaux for under $50. Nothing mind blowing, could use 1-2 year additional lay-down time as I found the tannin was blocking the fruit notes which were in the Black Currant zone.

@Rhonely Boy if you're up in the Irvine area, dunno if you've come across this place for BDX. Only online sales but you can do pickup vs shipping. Good combo of pricing, selection and some harder to find producers: https://www.lagunacellar.com/

Very enjoyable, fine tannin, crisp fresh fruit, good air movement in the vineyard (not sure how to put that into more descriptive terms, but it come through the wine as Clean & Fresh).

Yummy. Always forget how much I enjoy Lambrusco.

Good solid red violet, frizzante, gentle tannin, off dry, fruity(a lil foxy and grapey, but nothing over the top) lighter body, 8% abv. Very easy drinking, and if I do say, gulp-able
