Campo de Borja Garnacha 2013

This is an underground stick-fighter in Rangpur. Fast on the attack with loooong, brutal 90+ second finish...it's the scotch of wine. — 9 years ago

Pierre Gaillard

Les Gendrines Côtes du Rhône Viognier 2010

The wine exhibits a similar timbre to a hi-hat in a mid-tempo jazz quartet performance. Brassy-gold in the glass, it shines as if polished. Velvet smoth mouthfeel drenched with ripe jonagold apple is sporadically interrupted by a sizzle of acidity laced with notes of lemon miringue. Pair with Thelonious Monk's "Underground". — 10 years ago

Volcano Winery

Volcano Red Pele's Delight Red Blend

We drank this at the Volcano Winery on the Big Island in Hawaii.
Our server said the wine was different than usual: probably because of an underground volcanic eruption!

The Magpie ~Lot Seven~ Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Surprised me! Rich, chewy wine with a great nose. My only negative was the amount of tannin left behind on the finish. I wonder if a little more age would help? This is a huge Red. — 10 years ago

I assume the convection they talk about relates to near constant motion of fine lees, right?

Yes, & some relate it to equalization of temperature as well

Anfora Venezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla 2004

9.0

Essentially the Cerasuolo but aged in clay pots underground. Pretty intense difference between the two. This is way soft and suple on the nose, but has some hilighted bitterness on the finish... I think that this should probably be decanted for some amount of time. — 9 years ago

Beautiful nose and lush palate. Not trying to be a blockbuster, medium-weight and balanced. This is the type of Cab that human beings actually enjoy drinking. There's a bit of a stemmy note on the back palate, but otherwise finishes long and tasty.

Fruit is jammy in flavor but not texture.
