Matthews Cellars

Claret Red Bordeaux Blend

The 2014 is a close rival to the 2017, perhaps a little sharper and not quite as fragrant as the 2017 though GREAT with any food choice. Smooth, fruity, scrumptious. — 5 years ago

Wine from our Fredericksburg trip. From 4.0??? — 7 years ago

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Super tasty. Cranberry and black fruit. Softening tannins. I got the prime NY steak to pair with this, which was a smart choice. — 8 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Fruit flavors on the nose, but no oak. Flavors of sweet tobacco and cherry seem to be most pronounced. There is also a juicy blackberry flavor paired with black current. The flavors all work together well without overpowering another. The wine is extremely well balanced leading to a very smooth feel. The tannins are mellow and there is a small little bite on the end. Overall this is an excellent wine from an excellent winemaker and one not to miss. For drinkers looking to try a more expensive bottle but worry it's not with it, this is a great choice to calm your fears. Just make sure to properly decant. — 9 years ago

Bogle Family Vineyards

California Petite Sirah 2017

Don’t normally pick Petite Sirah as a choice but this was descent. Has a jammy start and a nutty finish. Fruit forward. Thin but good legs. I would drink again. 2017 vintage — 5 years ago

Rasa Vineyards

QED Axiom of Choice Cabernet Franc 2013

Tenuta Argentiera

Villa Donoratico Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Firstly I was very pleased to have identified this blind as one made from mainly Cab and probably from Bolgheri. Nailed it. Bold and giving with good backbone and finish. A very good, good value choice. — 7 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot 2011

Opening the bottle to breathe the subtle oakiness hits you with some spiciness and a hint of dark fruit. Tasting it made my mouth dance. It is smooth with very little tannins. Mind you, merlots are my last choice, however this one sat around long enough to be very good. — 8 years ago

Citrus and orchard fruit, then stony minerality, finishing with a acid/saline palate refreshing snap. Simple and refreshing, complex and engaging - your choice. — 9 years ago

9.0

This 15’ bottling is delightful. Cherry, raspberry, rose petal, light vanilla, dried mushroom, and lightly roasted coffee beans. Mouth watering acidity and elegant tannins. Finesse.

For a regular Barolo, my choice would be a Massolino or Vietti. To me, they can be enjoyed young (relatively speaking) or aged for a decade of two.

Henriot

Brut Souverain Champagne Blend

Light and crisp with lots of pear and floral notes. Good acidity, but creamy as well. A good choice for a food pairing. Though made with equal parts white and red grapes, it tastes almost like a blanc de blanc. — 7 years ago

Broadley Vineyards

Claudia's Choice Pinot Noir 2013

This wine is good if a bit disjointed. It has nice length and dimension, but the tart fruit comes in fits and starts, and the tannins are dusty on the finish. Very Burgundian. — 9 years ago
