Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Great vintage for this wine. Could have seen more years in bottle easily but desirable nonetheless. High altitude cab blend with lots fruit, oak, and light spice notes. Cheers. — 2 months ago

From magnum, this was a beautiful wine with still many more years of life ahead. Showing black currant, tobacco, dried thyme, squid ink and Chinese 5 spice. Stunner. — 2 months ago

Emmolo Winery

Napa Valley Merlot

I always listen to the sommelier, and usually order what they recommend. This was one of those times, and we couldn’t be happier. A monster Merlot, 14.9% ABV, but smooth as silk. Delightful with our prime rib. Here we are in the middle of the Caribbean on the last night of a cruise, enjoying ourselves at a wonderful restaurant, the Cosmopolitan. — 3 months ago

Chappellet

Mountain Cuvée Proprietor's Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2020

Dark ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice, and plum. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. While strong, balanced, and elegant, it opens up with a soft, round palate. Exemplary Napa red. 68 Cab Sauv, 28 Merlot, 2 Cab Franc, 2 Petit Verdot. — 4 months ago

Monterey County Pinot Noir 2021

Wow. This was fantastic. It tasted like a 5 year old Cab Sauv, not a 2 year old pinot. Notes of dark berries and mocha with a smooth oak finish, very unusual for a pinot. — 9 months ago

Still a good cab but not as good as previous vintages. A bit unfortunate, but this wine has gone full blown super market class. — 2 months ago

Oak Ridge Winery

OZV Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel

Dark maroon color. Jammy and fruit forward but not sweet - dark cherry, blackberry, raspberry, dark chocolate, warm spice. Medium body with smooth mouth feel and soft tannins. Paired well with homemade pizza (pepperoni, roasted mushrooms, onions and basil). Will make a very nice table wine - planning to pick up several bottles for upcoming family reunion! — 3 months ago

Le Volte Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2020

️ Toscana IGT Rosso (Tuscany, Italy)
✔️ 오르넬라이아의 철학을 반영한 레드 블렌딩 (메를로•까베르네쇼비뇽•산지오베제)
✔️ 오픈하자마자 젖은 흙•페퍼•오크•바닐라 향과 체리•블랙베리•플럼 향이 복합적인 레이어를 만듦
✔️ 오픈하고 1시간 뒤에 산미 섞인 향이 팡팡 터지기 때문에, 최소 30분~1시간 전에 미리 오픈하는걸 추천
✔️ 시간이 지날수록 정향•삼나무•버섯 향 섞인 미네랄리티가 잘 느껴지고, 질감도 더 부드러워짐
✔️ 적당한 산미, 약하지 않은 피니쉬, 시간이 지날수록 부드러워지는 질감까지! 가격 대비 넘 맘에 들었음
✔️ 산미 덕분에 이탈리아 음식과 페어링 하면 좋을 듯함
✔️ 3만원대 가격에 쟁여놓기 좋은 맛있는 와인

👉🏻 트리플C나 시데랄보다 가벼운 바디감과 미네랄리티를 느끼고 싶을 때 생각날, 이탈리아의 매력을 듬뿍 담은 데일리 와인
