Sour Monkey

Sizzle-y white top pops up the zing then cleanly unlaces to a ring toss. Start the grinder you reprobate monkey. This has all the unkempt mating-cage malodorousness one could expect from such a surly primate. Sweet smelling as crystalline micturition; apple cider vinegar , whiskey sour, and lemon lozenges. Boilermaker texture, black lime, grilled lemon, lemon-lime sweet tarts, lemon alka seltzer. Overall, a little clunky, a little feral, but the finish is worth the trundle through the funky jungle. The monkey here is still golden, shimmering in a salty sunset. — 5 years ago

7 Fuentes Valle de la Orotava Listan Negro-Tintilla Blend 2014

A. R.
9.1

My type of wacky wine. On the nose, roses and black pepper. Like an entire grinder or maybe a room full. Overwhelming amount of black pepper. But I like it. In the mouth, more pepper and black cherries. Light yet powerful. — 8 years ago

Viader

Viader Black Label Red Blend 2014

Viader’s most modern style blend 60/30 Cab Syrah with Malbec and CF. My last vintage of this given they doubled the price 👎👋. Great deal when originally released. Photo with my latest random Amazon shelter in place purchase. Home knife sharpener/grinder. — 5 years ago

VQA Niagara Peninsula VQA Cabernet Franc

Crunchy neon red-purple fruit! As though you are standing in a casino that's pumping in oxygen to keep you awake, to keep you gambling. All the slot machines around you are singing and winning and flashing trios of cherries and raspberries and it's really fun but also intense at first. Getting home late at night with leftover energy. Feeling an unexpectedly tossed object find it's way naturally into your hand, revelling in your triumph as an impressed beloved exclaims "nice catch!" as though you are an incredible athlete or a skilled fisherman but in reality you're just an average human standing in the kitchen keeping an electric pepper grinder from hitting the floor. — 7 years ago

Castelli-Knight Ranch Syrah 2013

Stunning New World Syrah. Super aromatic- loads of lavender and violets and a black pepper aroma so fresh that it might have come straight out of a grinder. Smoky and gamey components coming through with a copious amount of juicy black fruit on the mid palate. New oak influence adds a subtle layer of sweet baking spices. There’s a wonderful push-pull, yin-yang dynamic going on here. Masculine and elegant all at once. Already showing remarkable finesse, and will surely evolve into a wine one of impeccable balance. — 7 years ago
