Jareninčan White Blend

I actually really like this on a warm summer afternoon. Good fruit, clean minerality... no kidding this stuff drinks almost like Chenin Blanc. — 6 years ago

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Earthy nose, silky on the palate, cigarette ash into firm balanced tannins on the finish. Drinks like it had many years of age-ability — 6 years ago

Orin Swift Cellars

Machete Petite Sirah Blend

This drinks bold, can be paired with food or without. So damn good. Another bottle please. — 6 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

This 2000 #DunnVineyards #NapaValley #HowellMountain sub-appellation drinks wonderfully, though it easily has another 10-15 years of keeping potential. Strong palate of mostly very red strawberries and raspberries and blackcurrants, black cherries. Also whiffs of tobacco, cigar box and leather. This is a #California #Cabernet that stands out by its originality and profile, and certainly tastes better than many of its mainstream "blockbuster" brethren. — 7 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2002

Class in a glass. Very fine and creamy texture. Rich nose, like breathing in a slice of lemon meringue pie. Drinks a bit like a fizzy grand cru burg. — 9 years ago

Produttori del Barbaresco

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Roses, cherries, graphite, dried thyme, rose water. Excellent acid/smooth velvet tannin balance, dry herbal finish. Medium bodied yet delicate. Has the structure for long aging. Drinks best in 2020 and beyond. — 9 years ago

Philipponnat

Clos des Goisses Champagne Blend 2003

Disgorged October '12, this wine exhibits baked, spiced apples, brioche and autolysis with a depth usually reserved for still wine. Yes, color is golden and the wine drinks exceptionally easy now, this can go further and is quite compelling for a vintage known for hot growing conditions. — 9 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

Lean, round, rustic, rocky and other worldly. Literally, it drinks like a slightly chubbier Bordeaux. The only problem with this wine is that I shared it with people who were expecting Mindavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve style wine. Sigh. I miss you. — 11 years ago

Mascota Vineyards

Unánime Gran Vino Tinto Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Needs a decanter, but drinks very well with a full body taste. Excellent with a strong main meal. — 6 years ago

Beau Vigne

Cult Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Slightly green on the nose, no go for me. That blew off with a decant. Deep and heavily extracted yet light and refined when you take a sip. Traditional black and blue fruit yet, drinks more left bank with the Cab Franc peaking through. — 6 years ago

9.0

A heavy Pino with a lot smoothness, great nose of fruit and jam. Feels like a Cabernet, drinks like a merlot! At times, it almost tastes like whiskey on the palate. A lot of Oak! — 7 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

I have suffered through a number of dull uninspiring bottles from this case but thankfully this wasn't one of them. Really delicious perfectly mature claret which drinks beautifully now. — 8 years ago

This wine is incredibly good, great price, drinks well with red meat. — 9 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

I read on Delectable that this Pinot is a Cab lover's Pinot and she was right. I usually pass on Pinot because a good one is so hard for me to find. But this one is really, really good. I've had the Belle Glos from Meiomi, which I've liked as well, but this is equally as good. Great spice along with the fruit. Found this on sale on Cape Cod for $17 - a bargain for wine that drinks like this. — 9 years ago

Bodegas Drinks and Dreams

D + D Douro+Duero Douro Red Blend

Great Georgian toast is to your neighbor - he is the most important, especially if you moved into new place.

Here are neighbors from one river banks, but different countries. Sogevinus Fine Wines & Bodegas Emilio Moro - made this opulent, rich and silky wine. Elegant fruit, wrapped into noble oak, great wine -with each sip I can contemplate about toasts wisdom - vostok delo tonkoe.

Maybe missing a bit of length,but I forgive them, the balance is perfect. Don't expect claws, this is tuxedo dress code.

Le Macchiole

Bolgheri Rosso SuperTuscan Blend 2015

March 1, 2018. What a fabulous way to start the month! Top Ten wine if the month from Oct 2017. This Bolgheri Rosso is superb. Very easy to drink, perhaps too easy! Finely balanced dark fruit and earth. Just how I like it. I thought it might be too young but the 2015 drinks really well now. Hope I can get more. — 6 years ago

Good, really drinks like a left bank Bordeaux. Loads of tiertary characters coming up but stilll plenty of that pyrrazine cab character. Surprising since 97" was a ripe vintage. — 7 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2004

Chardonnay tasting. Nice wine. Over ten years old but drinks young. Had characteristics of old and new world. A little bit of earthy dung mixed with some tropical fruit. Should age another 5-10 years easily I think. — 9 years ago

Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010

Enormous for a Pinot, and well remove from its Bourgogne brethren. Drinks nearly like a Syrah. Tons of dark fruit, a bit strawberry. Low acid, not very tannic. Absolutely delicious, but be expecting jam and not delicacy. — 10 years ago
