Mistaken Identity

Vignaoili Contrà Soarda

Vigna Corejo Pinot Nero 2011

Bob McDonald
9.3

A Pinot Nero showing its age. Tawny edge - notes of wood varnish and stewed red fruits. A very balanced mellow palate with a gamey note. Just medium weight. Could be mistaken for a Burgundy in a blind tasting. — a year ago

White flowers & brioche that could be mistaken for champagne. Cheers! — 3 years ago

Smash City Pinot Noir 2015

9.0

This was a monster truck Pinot for sure. Not to be paired lightly with food and not to be mistaken for a Burgundy. This has extraction, alcohol, and tons of flavor. Different but fun. — 4 years ago

Could be mistaken for a Trousseau from Jura, but maybe a little fresher and more fruit forward. Well done! — 5 years ago

Navazos Fino En Rama Jerez Palomino 2019

Gerald Montoya
9.3

Nose is beautiful. Heavy flor aromas carry unroasted cashews and almonds with just a hint of orange oil. Palate is light and fresh with an attack of orange oil, lightly roasted cashews and almonds and a big salty finish. A golden brown color that could be easily mistaken for Amontillado, but not surprising for en Rama. Definitely best with food, but delicious on its own. — 2 years ago

Limelight Riesling 2016

AJ Gubser
9.0

On the nose this never going to get mistaken for anything but riesling. You get a hit of that petrol/plastic beachball smell as well as mossy rocks and lemon peel. Palate is off dry with honey drizzled lemon and very ripe pear. Nice medium acidity keeps the balance in check with a hint of those petrol notes.

A little sweeter than what I was expecting, but still a tasty, clean wine. — 4 years ago

Les Grands Épenots Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Casey Curbow

Green and full of funk. This bottle, while still recognizable as burgundy, never took flight or held an identity. — 5 years ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2006

ESF
9.2

Really started to shine 2-3 hrs in, very tight out of the chute, eventually showed gorgeous cherry, rose hips & crushed flowers, some asphalt, slight lift, minerals & sweet spice - big rigid tannins - blind I might have mistaken for Barolo... recall this being a pretty good vintage w/long life ahead (purchased in Montalcino) — 4 years ago
