Fancy style on the label. Olive. Exactly like nice olives and luscious cooked black and purple fruits cooked in savory styles. Flavors are spiced and hold a lovely elegance. Savory. Strange. Delicious. This is the mystery of Syrah in a bottle. — 14 days ago
Decent style on the label. Little more modern than some Italian stuff. Dark color of blood. Very spicy and woodsy aroma. Few hot rocks as well. Flavors are fruit driven, but balanced and likable. Balanced and complex. Bright cherry and some blackberry too. A classic Italian hot climate wine. — 19 days ago
This is Merlot (70%) and Syrah (30%). Very dark color. Can’t see through it. Not much nose. Hint of ink and soil. Flavors are very savory. Elderberry tonic, charred meats, tarragon. It’s tart too. Strange very euro style. Not leaning into fruits or oaking. Just grape skins and minerality. It’s bitter and bold. Lower alcohol, but still full. This is a wine with character. Unique. — a month ago
Label has some style. And catches the eye. Bit of an aged version of CA Zin, but that can work. Deeper rusty, maroon color than some Paso Robles Zin I’ve had. Smells a bit more herbal and dank than fruity and jammy. Flavors are big, bodacious and brawny. Hints of the blending other reds in the mix. Chewy. Hint of that grape jelly in a campfire flavor of some Zins in the finish. This should pair well with a steak and grilled veggies. It’s a nice, well produced classic. Kinda like the biker on the bottle. — 7 days ago
Basic style label. Lighter color. Smells like fruit punch. Plenty of vanilla. Flavors are definitely ripe and new style. Cooked fruits and vanilla. Way too new world to be my style. — 15 days ago
This be Pinot Noir. Lovely color. Bright and beautiful in the glass. Smells like faint berries and some wet rocks. Flavors are tart and simple. It’s Pinot for sure. Easy. I’ve had more boring stuff for twice the price. — a month ago
Looks like a nice Columbia Valley Cab. Dark color. Heady and dense nose. Maybe a herbal and earthy streak in with the plum sauce on the nose. Flavors are chewy and vicious. Horehound meets berry cobbler and a bit of flint. Plenty bittersweet like a good Cab should be. Has a big style, but holds a bit of elegance as well. Will be great with the grilled steak I’m going to have with it later. A nice find at the grocery outlet 20% off wine sale. — 13 days ago
