Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2004

The versatility of Tempranillo is amazing to me. Medium bodied, ruby color. Red fruit and vanilla on the nose; cherry and plumb clearly on the palate. Peppery spiciness. Medium tannins and balanced acidity. Had it with pasta bolognese and with steak on different days. Paired great with both. — 9 years ago

Brunelli

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Its Italian night! This is Brunelli2010 Brunello di Montalcino imported by my favorite importers, Small Vineyards in Seattle WA. It is 14% and feels like 13%. Nevertheless, the bouquet is nothing like a California cab - yes I know its not comparable, but this is my base. It is almost like a plumb pie. Don't let this discourage you. On second smell, Its almost like a rubber fishing worm. Still, not what Im used to so maybe I don't know what the heck Im smelling! The color does have that slightly brown tint to the beautiful Oregon pinot color. The initial palate is crisp and fruity like cherries and cranberries. Nevertheless, the mid palate is just like a fresh sip of 100% cranberry juice. The finish comes with that lingering tartness of cranberry juice with a drying of the upper palate and a splash of spice. It is dry. It is good. It is one of my favorites! — 9 years ago

Mendoza Malbec 2016

I could smell blackberry before I even got my nose close. A him of plumb and maybe some sweet tobacco and earth. Very smooth. Great with a quality dark chocolate but very enjoyable on its own. Got this through WSJ introductory wine offer. Not bad for a deal introductory wine club! — 7 years ago

Behrens & Hitchcock

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Typical of Behrens, massive amount of fruit which I find overbearing at times. This wine bursts from the glass with black fruit with a slightly plumb like flavor with loads of oak and tannin and a 45 second finish. Better than I expected. — 8 years ago
