La Rioja Alta

Reserva Selección 874 Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2019

Suave, polished, and utterly drinkable, the 2019 Selección 874 from the Wine Society is a brilliant modern Rioja with great heritage. Produced by La Rioja Alta, this feels more forward and - perhaps, immediately - drinkable than the Ardanza, a more serious Reserva for the long haul. But this has plenty of stuffing to age well, and I think it will become a beautiful, graceful Rioja with another 15+ years in bottle. That’s if, of course, the rest of my case can wait…

Araldica

Piemonte Cortese 2020

Wine Society - a pleasant Italian wine - mild fruity tones that linger well after the wine has left the mouth. Definitely will order again - would be idle for BBQs and summer evenings. — 5 years ago

Vinicultural Society North Coast Pinot Noir 2018

Super versatile Pinot! Nice acidity, very balanced. Great table wine — 6 years ago

Dominio del Plata (Susana Balbo)

Private Edition for The Wine Society Red Blend

We just had the 2011 vintage and apparently it has nothing in common with prior vintages. Given time, super chocolate notes to start and later leather and tobacco flavors and nose come through. Not what I would typically expect of a malbec but a nice wine with a good rare steak...and pretty damn good with chicken — 8 years ago

The Society's Corbieres Carignane 2015

Col Solare

Collector's Society Red Mountain Cabernet Franc 2022

Deep purple in color with a wide purplish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, plums, oak, chocolates, black pepper and herbs.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, licorice, light earth, herbs, black pepper, spices and chocolates.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc from Red Mountain in Washington State. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolved. Has good potential to become a 94 point wine.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc is smooth, rich and fruit forward. Soft and elegant. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

A blend of 94% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 20 months. A small production of less than 3,500 bottles.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Pinot Society

The Tumult Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Digging it. The nose draws you in with breakfast country ham and cherry syrup. Honestly, feels like I’m driving up to a Denny’s. However, “old world” notes of forest floor - pine tree bark, dry leaves, and wood chips - develop. Acidity stays relevant, but doesn’t kick your ass. This is why I love Willamette; good fruit, but not boring and extracted. — 9 years ago

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Strong fruity nose and full bodied, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, sweet blackberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn, tobacco leaf and black tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Malbec from Red Mountain in Washington State. Extracted and fruit forward.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and spicy.

A good sipping wine. Rich and in your face kind of wine.

As a Veteran, a nice gift from my Sister in law and her beau. Easy drinking Cabernet with strong dark fruit and some pepper. I thought it was a little sweet on 1st sip but it settled. Now to try and find some more as a conversation piece. I want to get to Normandy and visit...and drink wine! — 6 years ago

Albert Boxler

Grand Cru Brand Riesling

Had his as a Guwerztraminer tasting event at Beetle Cat in Atlanta, hosted by the Southeast Sommelier Society. Gorgeous floral nose of peach blossoms, white rose petals and lychee. On the palette, this wine was impeccably balanced with lemon tart acidity cutting though the evident residual sugar. Succulent notes of fresh apricot, lychee and lemon tart to a long and refined finish. — 8 years ago
