El Dorado Grenache Noir 2014

Great bottle, 100% Grenache with 25% whole cluster. Cherry and red berry along with some spice notes with some a good tannin structure. Some meaty and minerality notes also come around. — 9 years ago

Delfino Pet Nat Pinot Blanc 2014

Fat! Slutty! Gulpable! A little hefty going rate of $38 on the shelf for what I consider value, but by all means totally pleasure able. — 10 years ago

Caldera El Dorado Mourvedre Blend 2013

The main problem was that we opened it far too soon! A remarkable wine, beautifully light and deep at the same time. A lesson in not judging by alcohol % - you would never know it was 14.8. — 11 years ago

Gluttony Old Vine Amador County Zinfandel 2006

2006. 8yr old Zin from Lodi. This used to be a bruiser of a wine. Now it's quite balanced, nuanced, and at the end of its life. Very vegetal with green bean and English pea aromas, balsam, and tasting of an amalgam of stewed raisined cherry, black currant , oak, mushroom, and white pepper. 16.5%abv. — 12 years ago
