Another back the truck up year for Bedrock’s QPR leader! The ‘21 has classic syrah fruit and spice, a nice hint of oak and a fine line of acidity to bring it together. Plus you get a bit of some of the best Syrah vineyards in the Golden State. — 3 years ago

Could not resist to try one. Some critics state wait until 2021 till even 2026, others state drink now. So double decanted. Typical heavy merlot nose. Dark fruit, scented wood, gravel, pencil shavings on the palate. Drying tannins that coat the mouth. Upside potential to 94-95 when the tannins from the new oak have settled down. Will try the next bottles after 2023. Now 93+ — 6 years ago

Joseph Phelps’ son Josh has done it!!!!!!! Josh Phelps wanted to make an approachable wine for people under 100 dollars. This is 22 dollars and holds its own against any 100 dollar cab Blend I have ever had and its from WASHINGTON!!!!! Holy crap. I am so impressed. I am also drinking his Steady State which is 66 dollars, and is equally as good with more perfume flare on the nose and more merlot blend on the tongue. But for 22 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am buying a case of this Collusion 2016 red wine! This will be my new go to house wine!!!! To sum it up:SMOKY, red licorice bouquet, blackberry and dark currant beginning with a twist of raspberry. Vanilla and butter follow with a French oak following. Earth and spice notes on the dry finish. No sourness noted after decant of 20 min which was evident at first. OMG .. 22 bucks???? Really? I love You tube and wine tasting videos! What a find! You Rock Josh Phelps. — 8 years ago

Any more oxidation and I couldn't fuckin drink it... Yet it rides that line and everything else about it seems like some kind of commentary on the state of Chardonnay in America. Happy thanksgiving. Perfect wine in my opinion. — 10 years ago

Blueberry and peppery aromas. Blueberry, plum, spices. Fresh and more vibrant than other recent zins. Had with Vicia roast chicken and wheat berry sal and charred broc. Dinner was subpar. But wine was even better 2 hours later. — 6 years ago

If its a pinot noir, it better come from Oregon. This is R Stuart and company's "big fire" 2013 Pinot Noir. The color is light and clear like a good pinot noir should be. The bouquet is cranberry and spice. The initial palate is a bit sour until it aerates for a good 25 minutes. The initial palate has cherry and apple flavors With a long finish that is dry and almost smokey ! I guess this is why they call it big fire. Not my favorite 20 dollar pinot, but a good choice for something different that you cant seem to get enough of! 10 years ago, I never would've dreamed I would like pinot noir. I was just drinking pinot noir from the wrong state. I highly recommend this one!!!!!! — 10 years ago

It smells and tastes of mandarin, it’s lightly alcoholic, it’s a pleasant light wheat beer, lightly hopped, when it’s hot and you are dehydrated, which happens in the desert six months of the year, this is a better option than any sports drink. Sure, no electrolytes here, but it tastes a dang sight better than those sports ades. And orange blossoms? Very Arizona. Drink local — 5 years ago

Todays lunch and brew. Belgium style wheat ale, cloudy, white head that dissipates quickly, brewed with coriander and orange peel.

The plumper hot dogs are made by Fred Usinger Sausage Co. Milwaukee, Wi. Absolutely the finest that can be found.
