Lighter color. Smells a bit of barnyard with a swamp-y side. With a berry and cherry undertone. Flavors are complex and fun. Riper than expected. Tasty too. Straight berry stuff. Lovely. — a day ago

Cool critter label with a peacock. Copper color. Smells a bit honeyed. Flavors are stone fruits. Peach, apricots and yellow/green plums. Fuller than expected. Most balance I’ve gotten from a Pinot Grigio. This is good. Full and fleshy. — 6 days ago

They make a damn good pecorino as well!

6.6

Charles Shaw, wow they still sell this?! Aroma is fruit leather and candy. Flavors are awful. Thin. Bland. Boring. Too much vanilla and toffee to balance the cherry syrup. This is not very interesting and it leans in heavy on CA red wine style. Aka Apothic and such. All fruit and oak, no backup plan. — 10 days ago

The neighbor of the beast label. (667 next to 666). But like a clone number actually. Very dark maroon. Deep color for a Pinot Noir. Smells like candy and fruit punch. Flavors are very new world. Cherry Coke. Sweet tea. Vanilla. This is cheap CA AVA stuff and it shows. This Pinot used to be much better. Now it is pretty much a middling plonk — 2 days ago

Pretty color. Bit rusty. Smells q little funky. Hints of berries, but also lots of shrubbery. Woodsy and funky flavors. Aged. Strange-ish. It’s a classic old wine. — 8 days ago

Aged and in a magnum. What a fancy bottle. Joy to try this. Hint of rust red on the edge of the color. Nose is cherry cordial and herbs. Sage, marjoram, fresh wood. Flavors are lovely. Still has zip. Herbal. Lush. Complex. This is lovely aged Syrah. Has a bit of mystery and is nicely aged. — 9 days ago

Catchy label for sure. Who is that hairy dude?! Cola and cherry sauce. Balanced. Is it a ‘Reserva’?! Meets the requirements, nice enough Spanish red. Not special, but pretty bueno vino. — 11 days ago

Trying it again with more attention. Last tasting was at a party and it was the last wine. Old, old wine. Pretty rusty and old looking. Smells like old books and cooked berry products. Flavors are more interesting. Some complex berry notes. Dusty cherry. Strange mossy or forestal thing in the finish. This is pretty interesting stuff. Probably an amazing vineyard that is making $500 bottles now… — 5 days ago

Good old Cline. Blending it up. Color is lively blood red. Smells nice. Cherry cream pastry and cut lumber. Hint of seasoning for turkey lol. Flavors are juicy and nicely balanced. Another Cline winner of a wine. And this one is showing up at Grocery Outlet for under $8… — 9 days ago
