Domaine Lafond

Roc Epine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Jan de Weerd

9.3

This wine is in balance! Everything plays together so well. It’s a nice 10 year old wine, also the aged notes integrated so well with the vibrant red fruit coming from the Grenache. A little bit of Mouvedre and Syrah give it nice complexity. — 2 months ago

Jan de Weerd

Hmmm, of course I had expected more from a 11 year old bottle full of mountain minerality and bright fruit. It did have all that but it didn’t get out of the chorus and not much more was revealed.

Beautiful left bank Bordeaux wine from Saint Julian. Balanced, polished, and a flavorful tension that guided the wine to a satisfying finish.

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Jan de Weerd

9.6

And now a Bordeaux blend expression from… well Bordeaux! Left bank that is. Our favorite left bank Bordeaux fantastic quality for reasonable price. This wine was intense, still rather edgy tannins but already great complexity of waves of dark and red fruit laced in subtle pipe tobacco and spiced oak. — 11 days ago

Casa Magoni

Reserva Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Jan de Weerd

9.4

A Cab Sauv from a carefully selected clone grown in Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico. Hand carried back to Idaho! Magoni makes some very, very good wines. This is a great example. Rich, expressive and full bodied with earthy, sweet undernotes that make these wines connect so well with Mexican cuisine. Mexican wines are the new Tequila. Want to know more?

Giuseppe Campagnola

Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2016

Jan de Weerd

9.4

Was planning on a 9.3 but then the pizza came and the wine became even more pronounced, intense, rich, penetrating dried red fruit, earthy and minerally laced. It is one of our most favorite Amarones. We had the opportunity to visit the winery last year. Here is the story: https://spokenwines.com/our-blog/ten-years-with-campagnola-our-amarone-of-choice — 2 months ago

Ah! That explains it. Cheers.

Mt. Difficulty

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2019

9.5

Fantastic. Fresh red fruit aromas rise readily from the wine to be followed with an explosion in flavor. Fresh red berries and raspberries lifted by an earthy minerality slowly disappearing in a lingering finish. — 2 months ago

Wowww. Just opening the bottle and pouring it into a glass, the aroma filled the air. So potent, so fresh. And then just the first sip not only confirmed that it added mineral earth, vibrant notes of red fruit — red berries that reminded me of my youth eating them straight from the bush back at our farm. Lingering, sooting finish. Just amazing.
