Alta Collection Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Very nice and complete Cabernet from Argentina. I feel it rates 91+ for the color and deep red fruit flavors and long finish . Not California Cabernet with lower ABV but European style with complexity and soft tannins. Super deal at $15!!!! Drink in the near term for best enjoyment. — 8 years ago

PnP. Dark red color with purple tones. Black and blue fruit on the nose with cedar and oak as well as subtle vanilla. Rustic and Bordeaux-like on the palate. Chewy wine with great depth and a long finish. Wine Spectator nailed this rec! Awesome QPR and super good. Debating between 94-95. — 8 months ago

Goodness I love LRA wines. The nose on these are intoxicating. American oak has calmed down but still full of coconut and dill. Could smell it all day. Incredibly pure on the palate. Blackberries, Mexican vanilla, green pepper. No tannic bite. — 9 years ago

@TheSkip @Weijie Shi : I can’t get enough of these wines. At 16-17yrs old, this could not be tasting any more incredible.

@Bill Bender : Ha! If this is the Shay way, I must be living right! Very fortunate and grateful to enjoy wines from others and share wines with others. Including you in 2018! ✊🏼

Forlorn Hope

Suspiro Del Moro Silvaspoons Vineyard Alvarelhão 2007

This wine is excellente! Deep silky dark fruit. This is a great sipping wine, yet it will sing with a thick steak or juicy grilled pork chop. This is a 2007, so good luck finding one. — 10 years ago

Birthday wine with lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes, and creamed peas and onions. Perfect compliment. — 11 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Viña Arana Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

A very nice experience drinking this. Might have been a touch better 5-10 years ago around the 15-20 year mark (and was great around ‘08-‘12) but despite a disintegrated cork is still a very nice wine with a beef dish. Have one more of the ‘01 and will have to open it within the next year. — 8 months ago
