Swick Wines
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2016
Clean, with notes of cherry, spice, and porcini. — 3 years ago
Petterino
Gattinara Nebbiolo 2006
Delicious, elegant. Tart cranberry, white truffle, iron, chalk. Not overly intellectual but enough to keep the smile on. — 3 years ago
Château Joanin Bécot
Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Lovely, soft old gal with tons of fruit left in her. Bold summer berries on the approach that yield to sun-dried plums across a cocoa bridge. — a year ago
Bodegas Los Bermejos
Lanzarote Tinto Barrica Red Blend
Tasca D'Almerita
Tascante Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2013
Not a PAP. It’s a bone dry, bristly, dry red with fine but ample tannins. Black fruits and flowers on palate. Needs fatty food to work. Too austere and tannic to sip as cocktail wine. — 3 years ago
Roederer Estate
L'Ermitage Brut Anderson Valley Chardonnay Blend 2006
Buttload of buttered toast, pecan, marzipan, and some overwhelmed golden pear. Delicious in small doses. — 3 years ago
Round Pond Estate
Kith & Kin Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Stewed raspberry and red cassis. Micro fine tannins. Smoooooth. Pretty varietally correct overall. — 3 years ago
Vinícola del Priorat
Ònix Clàssic Priorat Cariñena Garnacha
Stewed black fruits, polished tannins. Simple, but delicious. — 3 years ago
Château La Fleur Morange
Mathilde Saint-Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Bricking and some thrown sediment. Strong earthy nose, with gravel, moss, raisin, and red fruit. — 3 years ago

Founder/Educator Wine Fluent, Consultant ABC Fine Wines & Spirits
Classic Barolo flavors, best in its approach. Pleasant mid palate but missing a strong change in the finish. — 8 months ago
