Storiche Cantine di Radda in Chianti

Contiscaia Winemakers Selection Rosso Toscano Sangiovese Blend 2016

Needs a little air... blackberry pie, blackcherry, vanilla bean, and cinnamon. Well balanced palate with firm, but integrated tannins. Dark fruit is persistent and over-delivers on the finish. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Alma Rosa

El Jabali Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Apple cobbler and lemons. Balanced, nice finish. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Alta

Oso Malo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Opened to breath for 6+ hours. Sexy, smooth, French oak wrapped boysenberry. Green pepper, cola, licorice on the nose too. Dark fruits and dark flavors- expresso and cacao. Fresh and bright on the palate, old world style. Red raspberry and chocolate. Smooth and integrated tannins round out the finish. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Castelli del Grevepesa

Clemente VII Settimo Rosso di Toscana Sangiovese

#garyveewineclub thin and overoaked. Behind the oak makeup there’s nice herbs and cherries with strawberries, but the wine is disjointed. — 8 years ago

Castelli del Grevepesa

Clemente VII Settimo Rosso di Toscana Sangiovese 2013

Needed a couple hours of air to open. Black cherry, leaf tobacco, and tomato nose. Subtle pepper notes. Bold, dried red fruit, with a dry chalky finish. Mid-palate comes across a little thin. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Le Brun de Neuville

Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Blend

#garyveewineclub toasty, but with great applely crispness. Delicious. — 8 years ago

Legend Vineyard Exclusive

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Deep dark color. Red fruit and earth on the nose. A little rough to start even with an hour decanted. Needed to breathe for a while. Started to get smooth and show its complexity with more air time, much like Dan Lebatard. #garyveewineclub — 7 years ago

Esser Vineyards

Monterey County Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Soy sauce, black peppercorn, green olive, cassis, and clove. Dark red fruits, mocha and earthy notes stand out on the palate. Well balanced, juicy, and soft. More of an old world feel. Very solid weeknight drinker. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

#garyveewineclub Solid Napa cab. Sweet smoky nose. Smooth. — 8 years ago

El Barraco

Rock Rose Viñas Viejas Jara Garnacha 2015

Red cherry fruit, maybe tobacco and black pepper nose. I question if this wine finished malolactic fermentation. On the palate, there’s a strong metallic, aluminum foil taste, partnered with tart, bitter cherry, and citric acid. Unfortunately this is a dumper, as in down the sink. Bitter, austere, and frankly unenjoyable. The first swing and miss of the #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Flowers and peaches. Great quality for the price. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Argiano

Non Confunditur (NC) Rosso Toscano Sangiovese Blend 2014

#garyveewineclub cherries, blueberries, oregano, black pepper, and black tea with oak supporting underneath. Needs to breathe. Good acidity. Pairs well with Italian American fare. — 8 years ago

El Barraco

Rock Rose Viñas Viejas Jara Garnacha

#garyveewineclub old vine grenache. Fresh and juicy, with berries, herbs, and a touch of spice. Lightly colored and reductive in style. With its soft tannins, the wine pairs great with aggressively spiced Latin food. — 8 years ago

Viña Perez Cruz

Reserva Maipo Andes Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Old world feel. Beef jerky, dark berries, tar, and eucalyptus. Fresh and lively on the palate. Black raspberry and cassis. Soft mouthfeel with subdued tannins. Slurpy and easy drinking, with layers on the nose. Solid mid-week Cabernet. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Westerly Wines

Bentrock Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Day 2. Deep and complex nose: orange rind, lemon oil, ginger, wax, and hints of saffron. Feels rustic, yet new world. Vibrant on the palate, with lemon meringue, honey crisp apple, and citrus juice. Chalk undertones meet firm acid. Medium weight, with persistence on the finish. Felt a little more on the fresh side yesterday. My favorite wine so far in the #garyveewineclub. Drink on Thanksgiving.

Le Brun de Neuville

Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Blend

Celebratory wine... zesty, nutty, golden apple, and creme fresh. Fresh and vibrant with a round, creamy finish. Reminds me of bitting in to a honey crisp apple covered in almond milk. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago

Alta

Oso Malo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

#garyveewineclub refined Napa Cab. Black currant, eucalyptus, cocoa, blueberries, vanilla, with a subtle meaty quality. Velvety mouthfeel, juicy Napa fruit, but well-balanced, good structure, and a fresh finish. — 8 years ago

Joseph Carr

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Meh. Simple, yet it somehow has notes of green peppers and jam at the same time. #garyveewineclub near epic fail. — 8 years ago

Joseph Carr

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Day 3. Scents of baking spice, cinnamon, clove, underripe pepper, and plum. Tobacco and cedar notes on the palate, with plum and dark berry preserves. Heat spikes on the mid-palate transition into the finish. Chalky tannin cost the mouth. #garyveewineclub — 8 years ago
