Orbitoffrontal Cortex White Blend 2022

Full bodied, with well balanced acidity. Stone fruit on the nose with tropical fruits and minerality on the palate. Pairs very well with a variety of Thai dishes. — 23 days ago

Earthy, mildly tannic, pretty good amount of acidity. I wanted tacos in corn torillas when i drank this wine. — 3 years ago

Ramos Reserva Red Blend 2019

Deep ruby in color; plum, blackberry, and a little black cherry on the nose; high acidity; tastes like sour cherries, blackberries, and black pepper; more savory than fruity; smooth tannins and a long finish. An interesting experience. It's probably good with meat dishes. Maybe steak. Opened up a lot after some aeration. It's not fruity, but it's definitely a quality wine. — 2 years ago

Caves São João

Frei João Bairrada Baga Blend 1985

In beautiful shape, better than I remember the last bottle being. Dried red and black fruits, dry dusty tannins, forest floor, dried porcini mushroom and old leather umami nodes, cedar, dried herbs. Did I mention it’s dry? But it’s a beautiful wine, the flavor profile exudes sun baked warmth but the alcohol clocks in at less than 12% so it doesn’t fatigue the palate — 3 years ago
