Pink Pinot Porn 💗

The steamy finessed intricate pink bubbles tease you as they dance around the glass hypnotising you to take a sip of the deep clear amber, shining copper & salmon love juice. The nose seduces with a powerful floral cherry red berry smokey soil leafy peachy brioche mist. Helplessly your palette succumbs to a smooth rich strawberry peach & red berry biscuity mousse caress that teases you to take another as the kiss lingers on and on. I thought the 96 pink DP was hot but this is X-rated! Drank in a Zalto Burgundy glass & decanted.

The 89 is fully integrated and the training wheels are off. This is a monster of a wine that should drink well for at least 4 more election cycles. Bright berry notes with coffee and clove. A touch of ash as well. — 10 years ago

Precisely what I look for from a Lodi Zin! This 2010 "Banned In Alabama", is well balanced with medium length and acidity at 14.5%. Rich tannin with dark berries and coco. This company is no longer in business which is such a shame! — 11 years ago

The winemaker calls this wine “blueberry motor oil that will stain your soul.” He also advises that you not spill any on your shirt.
A Central Coast appellation, the Cycles Gladiator Petite Sirah hits 14.8% abv and sells for a pretty incredible $11. The wine spent 15 months in oak, half new American and half neutral.
This is a dark wine, very dark, non-porous dark. There is no light getting through this indigo pour at all. Loads of blueberry smells jump right out, followed by abundant oak spices. A little smoky and savory angle sneaks through at the edge of the glass. The wine is very easy to drink, with fine tannins and beautiful dark-fruit flavor laced with that oak effect.

Really complex nose that cycles through all manner of fruit: pear, mango (says my daughter Emma), orange oil, peach, banana. Even a whiff of mint leaves. Deep stony minerality underlying it all. Rich, warm and pure in the mouth. No great length or complexity on the palate, but loads of character and fun. — 8 years ago

Great nose with strong black pepper and currants. The taste is smooth, rich blend with lots of plum. Great sweeter finish with vanilla aftertaste. Tasted against cycles gladiator, and liked this one slightly better, — 8 years ago

9.1

The wine shows a medium straw color in the glass and smells really beautiful. The nose displays ripe nectarines and a hint of lemon wearing a shawl of oak spice. The wood definitely makes itself known, but it is a pleasant presence. Flavors are juicy and ripe, too, with that oak touch adding a bit of heft without getting carried away. It has me wanting a piece of broiled fish or some roasted potatoes to go with it. — 9 years ago

Fresh with braised fig , bacon , pepper but what stands out is the gamey ironess , not sure if that s a word but its backed by what tasted like when I was a child and had a fat lip and I sucked in the blood --- I won the fight--- Gladiator -- yeah! — 10 years ago

Cycles winery. Very good. Would repurchase. Complexity of sweet when first opened and opens up to an earthy, spicy blend with a touch of black fruits. — 12 years ago
