Fantastic 9 year old sekt that really highlights the things I am familiar with in this region. Green apples, pie crust, lemon curd, and peaches. Very much alive and zippy, drinking like it’s much younger but with the complexity of a long wise life. — 3 months ago

Surely, I’ll get some heat for this rating.

Aligned is a Pinot noir marketing ploy from Salesforce that they send out with other bottles of customized labels including funny quips with business jargon. The wine is actually a product of Foot Of The Bed.

Here’s the thing: it’s actually not bad for a cheap gimmick.

Extremely pale salmon, nearly pink color. A bright floral nose with ripened red berries. A bit of feminine musk. No tannins, low acidity. Soft mouthfeel. Some cranberries and mushroom. Not a long finish, but enjoyable nonetheless. — 4 months ago

60% Touriga Nacional
20% Touriga Franca
20% Tinta Roriz

Dark purple color, with a lot of earthy components. Floral notes with a wooden accents, vanilla, and dark ripened fruit. All with a bit of leather. Nicely balanced with just a medium tannin structure. A lot softer than the flavors and scents give off. I think it’s delicious, and the 2018 is drinking quite primely right now. — 2 months ago

Gorgeous bottle of ruby red shades and intense aromatics featuring vanilla, spices, rose petals, and nuts. Quite complex. Great medium+ body and strong acidic structure but with a refined weight and balance, it’s not overpowering but has a lot of character. Really good lingering finish. — 3 months ago

Quite a standard Classico, though it could use more time in the cellar. Bright ruby red, tart blackberries, cherry, and leather. When drinking and opening up some vanilla comes out. The acidity is strong though, and slightly overpowering. Tannins a touch too much. — 3 months ago

This is prime. Some red stone fruits in here, like plum, along with dark cherries, are really dominant. There is a good spice level, nice vanilla, and a freshness that I wasn’t expecting. Great medium body with medium tannic structure. Could keep aging for another half decade at least. — 4 months ago

Just an incredible 19 year old bottle with plenty of life left but drinking perfect tonight. Inky and dark purple. Raspberries and cherries, but with lots of dark fruit, spices, caramel, and gamey scents that develop more deeply when stirred and sipped. Elegant balance of tannins and fruit. Medium+ body. 5 min or longer finish. Robust but not overwhelming. — 2 months ago

Good medium bodied nebbiolo. Light red color with earthy scents and bruised strawberries with pepper and perfume. Really nice and dry, though the tannins are chewy. Oak, leather, mushroom, earth. Need some red meat with it. — 3 months ago

This is a much fuller bodied willamette Pinot than I’m accustomed to, but I do like it. Darker reds, and intense aromas focusing on currant, dark cherry, some rose petals, and pepper. Has a syrupy consistency. Quite dry, strong tannins and medium acidity. Good finish. Chefs kiss! — 3 months ago
