Arch Rival Wines

Terra Blanca

Arch Terrace Triple Threat Red Blend 2015

Was pleasantly surprised since Washington wines tend to be a little more earthier and excellent soil than I like — 5 years ago

Le Colline

Monsecco Gattinara Nebbiolo 1982

Amazing expression of Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo from Le Colline (Conte Ravizza), a wine that can rival the top Barolo and barbaresco. Virile, dense, structured, complex and young! — 6 years ago

Château Soleil

Croix du Rival Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Great smooth and easy drinking oaky and fruity, mostly merlot but not boring. Great without food but better with red meat — 7 years ago

Herdade dos Grous

23 Barricas Vinho Regional Alentejano 2014

Give this wine a few years and it will rival anything from anywhere in the world. I'm realizing Alentejo is the real deal. Delicate tannins that filter through the fresh fruit. Smooth? Sim! — 9 years ago

Nature Franciacorta Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2012

9.1

Lush, crisp, definitely a good rival to champagne of the same price or above — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Madone

Le Perreon Beaujolais Gamay 2017

Fairly extracted but still light on its feet. Grainy tannins and strong minerality frame the fruit and spice flavors quite well. This is a steal and certainly will rival many cru Beaujolais. — 6 years ago

Arch Terrace Estate Vineyard Red Mountain Cabernet Franc 2013

$16.99 from new season. Good at the first day. The second day, it tastes a bit more sour. — 7 years ago

Tomas Postigo

Fermentado Barrica Rueda Verdejo 2015

Literally butter, a rival to any Napa Chard but with a European elegance that is the envy of all Californians. — 7 years ago

Gérard Raphet

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Beautiful nose of black cherry, meat, orange peel, mineral & Asian spices. Great producer whose Grand crus rival those who sell for 2 - 3 times more. — 8 years ago

Muddy Arch

Landa Vineyard Roussanne 2014

Rich and buttery yet sharp and citrusy. Surprisingly subtle given its complexity. — 9 years ago

Wrath

San Saba Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

It is ashamed the San Saba vineyard falls just outside the SLH AVA, because it has always produced lovely, earthy pintos that rival its famous neighbor. Grilled cherry on the nose. Dark cherry on the palate, with superb acid kicking in from mid-palate to a long finish still carrying charred fruit. — 6 years ago

Ronco del Gnemiz

Rosso del Gnemiz Merlot Blend 2016

9.8

50% CS, 40% CF, 10% Merlot. This is certainly aiming for the highest pedigree of Bdx-blends, and getting there as well. Crushed white stones, serious minerality, wild fruits, plenty of spice elements and underlying acidity enabling flavours to retain freshness and length. Beautifully integrated all new oak here as well. It tastes... amazing, and it’s structure promises a very long and slow cellar evolution. Best from 2025-2040. This will rival ANY high end stuff available. — 6 years ago

I believe I've had 13 and 15; both very, very good, but 2016 is at another level. I'm sure it will hit state side within shortly. Don'r miss it!

One more question... the wine designation says “Merlot Blend.” Is that correct.

Château Soleil

Le Rival Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet Franc 2012

A little pricey for what you get. yes a full body wine with some pepper and leather mouth it's missing the complexity of wine in that range. — 9 years ago

Dusky Goose

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2004

First time trying wine from oregon. Read alot about it that it can rival burgundy. Very good indeed and above my expectation. Good fruits and leather and spice that you find from burgundy. Silky and elegant. And long finish — 9 years ago

Montevertine

Le Pergole Torte Sangiovese 2006

9.5

A soft, gentle, elegant wine. Tannins arch palette forward, with a bit of a long tail, but are never bitting. Slight earthy mushroom funk and cassis. This isn't a wine for a heavy meal or a blizzard - light fall air is where she shines. — 10 years ago
