YES!!!!
First had the Ball Buster in 2006 in Phoenix, AZ. Never disappoints- big, hearty, smooth, an "oh yeeeessssss" wine. And the name is pure pleasure. Does benefit from decanting as well.... — 9 years ago
Solid - falling off a bit, but still showing well - rather Bordeaux like, fruit mingled well w/ secondary layers and tannins gripping nicely — 10 years ago
The 2012 Kindred is 100% #azwines #azwinecountry in the house! This GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) blend is a collaboration between several vineyards/winemakers in AZ, 1 of which is @caduceuscellars. Each vineyard contributed barrels of particular varietal(s) the result is a light bodied red, Crimson hue, spicy black pepper. Smooth as all heck with equally smooth finish. The fruit is turned way done. You get hints of raspberries but nothing too dominate to qualify tho as a "fruity" wine. — 10 years ago
Alpine Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Petit Manseng? Super cool and surprising. Nice palate weight from the Chard, nervy herbal tension from the PB and PM. Captivating. Thanks @Patrick Ballow #OliverMcCrum — 11 years ago

Rose and herb aroma, light rose color, cherry flavors, some earthiness, hints of spice, nice acidity, firm tannins. Nice dry finish with fruity and smokey notes. Still very young and could age for bit. Soft, but complex. We decanted and I chilled mine just a bit. Luckily, we have 2 decanters as my husband does not like chilled wine. Paired very well with a bolognese sauce with fresh basil and parmesan. — 11 years ago
2012 Arizona Stronghold 'Nachise' Syrah Grenache Mourvèdre blend, #Arizona #Azwine @azstronghold. IMO this is one of the best reds ASV produces and shows the promise of Rhone varieties in AZ. Beautiful bouquet of crushed violets and blueberries followed by wild blackberry, red plum and desert thyme notes. The Mourvèdre definitely shows through in this medium-bodied, elegant blend. Long, soft and silky finish. #wine #sommelier #syrah #GSM — 12 years ago

Breaktime from Xmas shopping with a refreshing lift from the Isarco Valley. Kerner is a personal favorite. With its lilting crisp acidity, white florals, honey, slate, and ripe green apple. Tiny bit of flabbiness which I'll chalk up to a bad vintage but makes up for it with a reasonably long finish. — 9 years ago
intenso di profumi di fiori e frutta, la pera soprattutto, grande freschezza che rimbalza per tutta la bocca, un gran corpo per un bianco, una bella struttura è un discreto equilibrio per quanto un vino così possa essere equilibrato, lungo nel finale con un retrogusto di mandorle fresche — 10 years ago
