Grounded Wine Co.
Collusion Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
A bit lean, but a serious wine. The dark fruit is there; when you open it a chalky/ powdery note too. Improves with air. — a month ago
Château Monregard La Croix
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2014
At The [Running] Footman in Mayfair with Sly and Eugene. This was a great Pomerol. Lush but balanced; a ripe style with earthy notes. Good with our Scottish roast beef ... — 2 months ago

Mas des Flauzières
Four Danuga Gigondas Grenache Blend
Maybe an off night, but I found this disappointing. A too-sweet note when first opened, dissipates but I didn't think this ever found the right balance. Too smooth, no precise flavors. — 22 days ago

A really satisfying wine, heavy on the merlot. The key for these ripe merlot-based CA wines is some structure and discernable second-tier flavors behind the overwhelming dark fruit and alcohol. This one delivers - blueberries on the nose initially, with chocolate cake, earth, and cinnamon. Had sampled the 2018 last year; this far better. — 8 days ago
