Much like the wraith it doesn’t warrant the cost. Good juice but better alternatives at that price point. — 4 months ago

Citrus notes and red berries with floral hints. Closer to a dry sauvignon blanc than a rosé. Crisp acidity pairs very well with salty feta cheese and Greek food. — 4 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2008

The 2008 R. Lopez Heredia ‘Vina Tondonia Reserva’ Rioja is a marvelous effort from this challenging vintage in La Rioja. The wine is a complex blend of Tempranillo (75%), and Garnacho (15%), with Graciano and Mazuelo (5%) that was aged for six years before bottling. The wine is might be showing a bit more depth and concentration than the ’07 bottling while the ’07 is slightly more geared towards finesse. Deep white truffle and wild blackberry notes combine with shades of cinnamon, orange rind and sour kirsch on this gorgeous bouquet. The palate is wonderfully viscous and concentrated. Layers of sour red and ark fruits collide with minerals, smoky terroir and shades of blood orange zest and peat moss on this simply gorgeous palate. Rich and layered, yet having a sterling sense of tension, this magical new wine will cellar well for at least another fifteen years. Drink 2020-2038- 95 — 6 years ago

This is one of my faves, since I think the chateau was owned by Brits at one point.

Precious Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This wine is a Hundred Acre Ark. Not sure why vinous is having such a hard time identifying. Does not even come up on the search??? This followed the ‘02 Keenan Reserve and ‘05 Barbour. Wow what a night cap!! It is deserving of its 100 point rating. — 4 years ago

St. Clement Vineyards

Ark & Dove Napa Valley Red Blend 2013

Last one of these I had, enjoyed today. This wine is usually close to 50/50 Malbec and PV. Odd combo for sure, but that's what makes it so enjoyable. Initially, the question loomed: how much Cab was in this blend? 0% is the correct answer! But....with this one pouring a nearly perfect purple color, one should have at least suspected the 50% Malbec. The purple pour and the purple nose gave that one away. This one has a nice floral nose to it. At first, the middle of this wine is rather devoid. That takes about an hour to resolve. This wine has notes of cinnamon, clove, allspice, black and purple fruits, and finishes a little bit spicy. If allowed to open, the average 90.1CT score is all of a sudden more like a 93. This wine is at the top. Not sure that additional aging will do it any good. Damn good to drink right now though. — 8 years ago
