Bodegas Breca
Old Vines Garnacha 2011
Long finish. Deep color, extending to claret on the rim. High acidity reminiscent of winter fruits. Orange peel on the nose, maybe some french oak, blackberry on the finish with a touch of dustiness. — 10 years ago
Podere Ruggeri Corsini
Barbera d'Alba 2012
Just sort of... Blah. Not great, not terrible. Very simple. Some cherry, some graphite. Short finish. No complexity. No tannins, high acidity balances out semi fruit forwardness. Decent "table wine". — 10 years ago
Domaine Marius Delarche
Corton-Renardes Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2010
Very good. Youthful and fresh. Would love to have known how it would be in a year or two. Red fruit. Nice acidity. — 10 years ago
Opi aka Rodolfo Sadler
Mendoza Malbec 2011
Fine. Not great, but passable. I love Mendoza Malbecs and this one just wasn't my favorite — 10 years ago

Underground Wine Company
The Magpie -Lot Four- Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
A little too oakey. — 10 years ago
Morin Père et Fils
Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir 2012
Fine. Drinkable. Unremarkable. — 10 years ago
Viña La Rosa
Chapel Vineyard Los Rosales Merlot 2011
If this is truly a Merlot, it's heavily blended with Carmenere. Wouldn't be surprised if it were 100% Carmenere. Ruby color, asparagus smelling. Lighter side of medium bodied. Smooth finish that stays with you. Good wine. — 10 years ago
Jack Kelly
Average. Decent wine. Less acidity than I was hoping for. Floral notes, with peach and green apple on the palate. Okay finish. Good table wine companion for a shrimp dinner. — 10 years ago
