Joleté

Olson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Very decent cabs althou not as complex but easy drinking cabs. Aroma is quite less than when I tasted it during the state line liquor store tasting session but most likely due to cold temp at my place - snowed in and too cold temp for red wine. Still enjoyable — 9 years ago

Marlborough Pinot Gris 2013

Jimmy Smith
9.0

Kevin Judd's 2013 is an elegant number, not overripe peardrops (like so many NZ can be) but lightly creamy, leesy, white flowers with white peach, coxs apple. Light phenolics balanced with good acidity and texture. Slight smidgen of residual sugar also supports harmony. Well made — 10 years ago

Charles Cimicky

Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 1998

We paired this with country ribs drenched in a smoky BBQ sauce. And while I've never made ribs nor tasted this wine, all I can say is...I was transported to scenes From House of Cards, where Kevin Spacey plays the excellent, if slightly sociopathic character of Frank Underwood, Democratic Majority Whip. This wine is brazen, ballsy and complex, with notes of eucalyptus, smoke, preserved meat, asphalt, ox blood, grit and conspiracy. Rich, brooding and as well-developed as a riveting story, the Cimicky will suck you in. — 11 years ago

all what I expect from a grand white: slight but fun oxidation, radiant acidity, great texture for an enchanting aromatic kaleidoscope of flowers, minerals and tropical ripe fruit.
thanks for all Kevin and keep going, keep on rocking in the free wine world.
