Cream Wine Company

Lenore Washington Estate Syrah 2018

Pours inky dark garnet/purple. Jammy black fruit aromas, blackberries and plums. Big lush body with lots of jammy fruit flavors and tongue tingling acid that follows. Balanced and complex, and delicious! #gotm2020 — 5 years ago

Ampeleia

Unlitro Alicante Blend 2019

A super light and fresh blend of grenache, carignan, and alicante bouschet. A natural wine so the slightly funky forest floor notes definitely come through in the aromas and taste. Some minerals and cherries on the nose and definitely tart cherries on the palate followed by a chalky lingering mouthfeel. Pushing the border of my limit for natty funk, but should pair wonderfully with pasta! #gotm2020 — 6 years ago

4 Monos Viticultores

GR 10 Garnacha Blend 2018

Dark ruby red with a very aromatic nose; some spices, some floral notes. Crazy tannins (that had mellowed when revisited a few days later) and a bit of fruit (candied raspberries per MM). Get to Know Grenache Class #gotm2020 — 6 years ago

Bouchard Père et Fils

Réserve Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Wild raspberries and a little earthiness on the nose, light body with a bright acid tingle, the tart wild raspberry and earthy aromas come through in the taste. "A great example of Burgundy that shoes the leanest more structured version of Pinot". Ready to pair with anything earthy and mushrooms. #gotm2020 — 6 years ago

Cantina Tramin

Südtirol Alto Adige Pinot Grigio 2018

Pale yellow color, mineral forward on the nose with mild citrus (lemon) and nutty (almond) notes coming though. Light but then a round mouth-coating feel, citrus acid balanced by lingering minerals. #gotm2020 — 6 years ago
