Fruits Of The Vine Winery

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

This will likely wrap it up for me. A birth year bottle on my birthday and my 1000th bottle on Delectable. It’s a bottle that makes you appreciate the beauty of the wine, it’s story, and times and occasions you share a bottle. Faint red fruits, leathers, dust, tar, and a pretty acidity. It opened up over an hour, drank well for a couple and did some fading thereafter. — 9 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2005

Once it opened up a phenomenal wine. Incredible nose. Strong aromatics, dried fruits, oak, hints of pepper. Smooth but firm tannins. Cherries and vanilla develop in the mouth. Long, warm finish. Drink now or let it age. — 9 years ago

Bogle Family Vineyards

Old Vine California Zinfandel 2013

Full-bodied and fruit-forward without the syrupy sweetness of most inexpensive California zins. Great $11 beach wine and even better at home for $8.50 at Total Wine! — 11 years ago
