The ugliest label in memory--Las Vegas meets Depardieu in a back alley- belies a velvety, balanced& juicy bierzo. This is all about texture. — 9 years ago
This wine is one of my favorite Zinfandels. The berries here always remind me of blue berries on my tongue. The one thing with more character than this wine is Frank Nerelli the wine maker. I encourage you to visit this unique paso vineyard.

1986 Chateau Margaux Premier Grand Cru. Drank w dinner at The Grill at the Alley. Great spicy, fragrant nose, but we both thought it was a bit thin and acidic in the mouth. Very interesting and great w fish or meat. — 11 years ago

So good. This Rosé is how I channel Rick Ross. Underripe strawberry and sour cherry flavors. Didn't get much on aroma. Dry and acidic for the summer party, sweeping the deck, club banger, or back alley with my black bottle boys. Rich forever. Forever compassionate. Don't call it medicinal, but you may be tempted.

Wow. This may be a new go to table wine for me. Right up my alley. I got a blast of Cherries when I opened the bottle. Decanter for over an hour. Now it's rye, clove, soil front. Solid round body. A tad hot at 14.5% alcohol but it works. Really really good buy.

Great high acid balances the aggressive tannin. Focused, but a lush nose. Youthful but its right up my old school herbal fresh Cab alley. — 10 years ago
Fantastic wine at $45, given the crazy prices we are seeing for the first and second growths. Shows the great 2010 vintage, almost drinking well now. If you like red Graves, this is likely up your alley. — 10 years ago
Ordered a batch from groupon and this was in the bunch. It's a little thin, but right up my alley for taste. — 11 years ago
Big, dark, mysterious, rustic and stunningly delicious. Right up my alley. I imagine if Tolkien's Middle Earth had a wine country, it would produce massive earthy gems like this. Get some if you can find it. — 11 years ago
