Part of the exciting new movement towards "black wine", this PV delivers what one would expect from "the darkest grape" -- espresso tones set in an inky thick body with a black currant finish. Petit Verdot forever! — 9 years ago

Hobo Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County 2013

Was eager to taste this one as I like all I’ve had from Hobo / Folk Machine. Nice flavors of black berries and spices, fresh enough, good acidity, structure and oak touch. Delightful! Not that far from Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel’s, my reference for that grape variety.

Made of 92% Zinfandel and 8% Petite Sirah. Aged in oak barrels, French and American, 15% new. Alcohol level of 13,8% #dansmonverre — 9 years ago

A great example of how this underappreciated grape can be made into an excellent wine. This wine is smoky meaty with black fruits, oak spice and a savory, earthy finish. — 9 years ago

A white wine that comes from a mutated rondinella grape. One day Dark Rodinella grapes & white grapes were discovered growing on one 60yr old vine. Honeyed palate, Aromatic nose. — 9 years ago

Ahhhh, a Provence Rose! It's a very warm night...82F and I'm sitting by my fire...so the perspiration is accumulating and I'm drinking a refreshing Rose that is perfect for a night like this! This Chateau La Moutete Grande Reserve is peach colored, with notes of very light florals, watermelon, and a Sauv Blanc-ness to it that reminds me of grapefruit on the nose. on the palate I get strawberry, black licorice, and a hint of basil. This wine is slightly acidic, especially on the finish (again, reminding me of a soft Sauv Blanc). No tannins, and a grape-fruity finish at the end.   Even though my beloved Red Sox are losing to the Skankees tonight, I'm enjoying this fantastic wine! — 9 years ago

I'm a sucker for port, so for what it's worth, very mellow nose , impressive dark grape, jolly rancher grape nose. Mouth - sweet as expected, good fire, solid black fruits, an alcoholic fueled mouthfeel but mitigated by the sugar . Like I said, I'm a sucker for port. Like this stuff. — 9 years ago

Let it breathe. A true grape, thin but dark, youthfully flat with a side tongue sting that smoothes out when you let it breathe Washes down like water but leaves a hard candy mark. — 9 years ago

Massive wine with almost black, opaque color. Dark sour cherry fruit with hints of tobacco, jerky, wet leather and raw meat. High, juicy acidity, mature tannins and dark, black fruit. Long even finish and aromas of raw cocoa, black olives and corint grape. — 10 years ago
