Sichel

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blend 2010

I'm not really into sweet wines, but this is an exception to the rules. Honey and pear notes without tasting like candy. Amazing with Fragua. — 10 years ago

Azienda Agricola La Torre

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

I just loved this. This area owns Sangiovese quite obviously and this is no exception despite the price. Tastes like someone took a bunch of Brunellos and put em all together. Really noticeable and delightful oak. Highly recommend enjoying this. No food pairing, this is a sun's down back porch summer evening red. — 10 years ago

Henriot

Cuvée des Enchanteleurs Brut Champagne Blend 1995

I would drink the cuvée every day if I could, I guess it's good to have goals. Every vintage is awesome and this is no exception. — 11 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

I know there's an argument to be made for where the best Sauv Blanc comes from, but I truly love New Zealand. If you want pure tropical fruits and super crisp acidity, NZ can always be counted on. This bottle is no exception, and a bargain to boot. — 11 years ago

Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot 2011

Mark Salinas
9.4

Some of the best Merlot I have tasted all come from Washington State. This is no exception. It is deep purple in the glass with a medium body. Some spice and a lingering finish. Excellent! — 10 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

I am a fan of the cabs from Alexander Valley and this is no exception. This is earthy and smooth with subtle tannins and stands tall on its own with or without a culinary complement. — 10 years ago

Love most of Brewer's wines! This is no exception! Balanced fruit with hint of lemon and saline finish-so good! — 11 years ago

Man Family

Skaapveld Coastal Region Shiraz 2008

This is a 2013. Funky, fresh and exhilarating. I love South African wines and this is no exception. Charcuterie, rubber, blackberries and some savory herbs. Yeah, funky describes it ridiculously well. — 11 years ago

Isole e Olena

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2013

2013 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico. Not usually very impressed with Chianti, but this is an exception. Barnyard nose, tart & sour cherry, very food friendly. — 10 years ago

Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2008

I've had every vintage of this bottle from 2001 to 2008 (with the exception of 2002, which I'm not sure if they were able to produce). I've even sampled their 2010, which may rival their best vintages (1997, 2001, 2004, 2006). After an hour of decanting the deep cherry and blackberry fruit dominate this graceful glass. Sweet but not tart, the finish lingers with a subtle smile. By the vineyards standard, 2008 is a wonderful bottle. Cheers!! — 10 years ago

Brennan Vineyards

Dark Horse Nero d'Avola

Haven't really been impressed with Texas wines, but this is a very notable exception! — 11 years ago

Le Brun Servenay
