Nebbiolo 2019

This was delicate and flavorful. Exquisite nose of vanilla and strawberry that was matched by the same flavors with the addition of cola. — 3 years ago

Cayuse Vineyards

Bionic Frog Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2013

Diving into the pond with the 🐸 tonight!

2 hour decant(cloudy sediment). An imposing dark crimson red color. On the nose: savory notes of smoked meat, little of the Cayuse funk(luv it), spice, campfire, floral, dark berries, black olives. Taste: smooth, creamy, rich, juicy, structured medium plus body wine with mouth coating cherry-raspberry, iron, tea, rich soil, pepper, smoke, and a minerally bacon grease long finish. YUM..what a start to the weekend!

Round Pond Estate

Estate Proprietary Left Bank Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

This was quite flavorful and interesting. It had some jam, blackberry, hints of leather and smoke. It had a nice mouthfeel and a medium finish. All in all this was the standout of the night, but still young. — 5 years ago

Proprietary Red Wine 2018

This was excellent and had both a spicy set of flavors, white pepper, bell pepper and hints of barn floor, as well as a nice fruit set of flavors in boysenberry, and black cherry. Beautiful deep red and violet colors. Definitely seems like it could also benefit from more years in bottle. — 3 years ago

Can taste citrus fruit like pineapple. Drank with a fruit bowl dessert and went perfectly. Also good for just drinking without food. Chill this and it’s better. — 5 years ago

Myriad Cellars

Round Pond Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lighter in color for a 2019, more of a medium ruby. Nose is cherry pie, not tart cherries but sweet black cherry. A bit of dust and a lot of cedar chest. Great structure, smooth tannins, and medium to full-bodied. The lighter color fooled me into thinking this would be a lighter cab, but it packs plenty of punch. The finish lingers especially pumping those cedar notes throughout. — 4 years ago

Reserve Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Deep purple without a hint of any other suggesting improper storage. Classic if a bit understated Napa nose. Soft yet appropriately firm tannins. Ripe black fruits. Luscious wine. Suggest drinking sooner rather than later owing to fruit ripeness. — 4 years ago

Round Pond Estate

Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Had a nice crispness you’d expect from SavBlanc and a more interesting barnyard flavor, paired with vanilla and a hint of straw. Enjoyable and a good wine to start the evening with. — 5 years ago

Turnbull Wine Cellars

Estate Grown Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

For a cab in the mid $40's this is a rocking value. Competes very well with the entry Round Pond and Palmer which I very much like as well. Double decanted for 2 hours. Dusty graphite on the nose. Nice concentrated dark blue fruits with just a hint of spice on the finish. Super smooth after some air. Among the top of my QPR list. — 8 years ago
