Blind tastes, got it first try... I'd say it's Albariño! — 11 years ago
Long Shadows Vintners
Pedestal Columbia Valley Merlot 2007
The usually tight tannic punch has faded and melded with the usual Washington velvet, a dark abyss of blackberry, plum, black cherry, it's in a nice place, I honestly wanted the kick in the mouth, but it's more elegant than you would expect. And I'm okay with buying her dinner, cause she delivers! She wore the long dress, thought I'd be looking at a short skirt, but this long dress is taking me home, thanks! She got feisty after she opened up & she delivers impressed! Give it 1hr and she will sing in your ear! — 11 years ago

Antigal Winery & Estates
Uno Mendoza Malbec 2011
Very effervescent in opening. Need to decant....A lot! After a hour or 2 (or 3) the wine shows off it's true legs with a nice start and mellow finish. Nice and drinkable — 11 years ago

The Bohan-Dillon Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2008
Don't know how I feel about this cellared Pinot ... It's got some smoke - like a campfire - to it. — 12 years ago
Tenuta San Guido
Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1999
1999 vintage. Medium garnet. Bright and clear. Medium plus intensity of aromas. Black fruits - blueberry and blackberry, mainly fresh. Hints of wood smoke and cinnamon from the oak. Some game and leather development. Hints of chocolate. On the palate, the wine has medium plus acidity, medium alcohol and medium fine-grained tannins, almost plush. The flavour intensity is on the medium plus side. Fruit flavours of blackberry, black currant and herbal savoury notes. Leather, tobacco and smoke. There's less depth of flavours than on the '07, and the finish is a tad shorter too. Very elegant. Less power than the '07. Very good, but lacks the concentration of some other Sass vintages. NB: after 2 hrs, this wine has changed. It's gained weight, roundness and complexity. It's now ahead of the 07. It's got a sweet long finish. Herbs and a medicinal note to the fore. — 11 years ago

N.V. Grappa Ruta
My father has had this bottle open in CT since shortly after he got back from Italy 20 or so years ago. Now it's really smooth, mellow and subtly complex. He doesn't care for this type of brandy. Wife and I will take care of that issue over the coming week. — 12 years ago

Discovered this Pinot a couple years ago as an alternative to a brand my family liked. I agree that it is a Cab drinker's Pinot in that it's got a bit more body & holds up with steak or pizza! — 11 years ago
