Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2015

Had this after drinking spiced mulled wine for the holidays. It was refreshing—much less sweet but still a fruity easy to drink glass. Garrett and I bought the wine on recommendation from a sommelier in Rome. — 8 years ago

Best Portuguese wine I’ve had. But young right now. I’m excited to see what this wine is capable of in 5-10 years. Mouthful. — 3 years ago

Reserva Évora Aragonez Alicante Bouschet 2017

This was great. Smooth and dry but very well balanced. Definitely smoother than any other Alentejo red I’ve had. A bit of spice with dark berries. Looking forward to revisiting — 3 years ago

Oakville Cabernet Franc 2012

Fridays are for Franc! And I. LOVE. THIS. WINE. I could not believe the aromatics that exploded from the bottle when I pulled the cork. Seriously it was like there was a blueberry pie baking in the kitchen. Decanted for an hour or so. Deep magenta in the glass. Loads of Cherry and blueberry on the palate mingle with vanilla, chocolate, herbs, and earth - very rich, but so incredibly balanced at the same time. I’ve been a longtime fan of Detert wines and this very well may be my favorite vintage of their Franc to date. I’m just wowed. Can’t wait to revisit this again and see how it evolves. Really well done @Tom Garrett (as always). — 8 years ago
