This is called ‘Summit Winds’. 50% Zin, 22% Cab Franc, 17 % Malbec, 11% Merlot. Dark. Smells like berries preserved and herbal tonics. Flavors are dense and fruit forward. Rich. But decent balance and a nice approachable flavor. Bit of bitter cherry pits on the backside. — 10 days ago

9.1

Classy and simple label. Still a pretty perfect golden hue even four years in. Smells funky. Herbs like artemisia and sage with maybe a hint of lemons. Flavors are dry, tart and complex. Gravel or river rocks meets sambuca and orchard grass. Like when you pluck a fresh sprig of grass and chew on the green stem. This is a stunner of a Sauv Blanc. Clean and clear with lots of gratifying strangeness. — 16 days ago

This is an approachable and basic bulk Cab. Lighter hue than some denser Cab. It’s not very dynamic, but for the price it’s nice enough. Flavors of blackberry cobbler and a hint of cedar. Goes well with poker night… — 21 days ago

‘Green wine’ with a green lettered label. Decent maroon color. Has a bit of a ruby edge. Smells like hot asphalt, creosote and cherry chocolate candies. Flavors are thick and rich. Milk chocolate and blackberry brownie. Slight aniseed and horehound on the finish. This is a pretty nice little everyday Cab. Not an age-r most likely, but it’s pretty darn good. — 14 days ago

8.4

This one is from CA and it’s Pinot Grigio. Pale straw color. Smells like pears and lemons. Maybe some honey or beeswax. Flavor is smooth as a baby’s bottom. Honey flavor for sure. With a bit of white grape juice like Concord sells. Without the sugars. This is almost Chard like, but it has a hint of acid zip. It’s nothing special, but it’s agreeable white cheap wine for your pool party or peach sangria. — 19 days ago

It’s got a very strange artsy label. From Parenti Vineyards, Green Valley. It smells a bit funky with a black elderberry aroma. Flavors are very tart and sharp. Hint of kombucha and more of that elderberry funk in there. It’s a strange and uncommon CA wine. Not really my thing, but might be great for the natural wine lover in your circle. — 24 days ago

Nice color. Shimmer of gold. Smells vaguely of lemon water. Flavors are smooth. Cream soda and mineral waters. Easy and simple. Elegant white, but a bit smooth and simple. — 15 days ago

It’s still good. Peaked though. It was a bit zippier earlier in life. — 16 days ago

80% Temp, 20% Garnacha. This is really good. Spot on Spanish stuff. Label is classy and understated. Color of blood or dark cherry flesh. Smells like a summer storm on slate. And damask rose. If a fruit the aroma that it hints at is elephant heart plums. Elegant nose. Flavors are more flowers. Violets and lavender. Rosewater on white or yellow cherries. Streak of fennel or anise. Black, blue and boysenberries. Hibiscus or Jamaica Agua Fresca. This is a great blend. — 21 days ago

Jay-sauce what a massive bottle. The clay sure makes it heavy and unique. It’s a deep beet flesh color. Smells faintly of red berry sauces and maybe plum jam. Just a faint whiff of rubber in the sun. Flavors are easy and pleasant. Cooked fruits. Like plum, raspberry and blackberry cobbler. Just a slight Dutch licorice flavor. And mineral water. An unsweetened pomegranate and açaí mineral water perhaps. This is a nice southern France blend, but I’d skip the paperweight bottle and just get some Côte du Rhône if you aren’t trying to make an impression with a fun and often unfamiliar clay bottle. — 25 days ago
