Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!

I’ll be honest...I was flat out shocked how well this drank this young. I gave this maybe 30mins of space before drinking and it was incredible. Lush fruits on the nose...sweet blue fruit, rhubarb, lavender on the finish. Superb.

Markus Wine Co.

Nimmo Mokelumne Glen Vineyards Kerner Blend 2014

The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill. — 9 years ago

Domaine de l'Horizon

L'Esprit de l'Horizon Rouge Red Blend 2014

Спелая вишня, черника, райские яблочки, в развитии свекла, гарриги, оливки, смола, ощутимый минеральный тон. Среднее тело с яркой, но мягкой кислотностью и молодыми, но укрощенными танинами. Сочно, ягодно и естественно, готово уже сейчас, хотя способно и полежать. Выразительно и честно, с собственным характером, чуть рустично, не очень комплексно, без больших сюрпризов, однако довольно быстро исчезает в бокале. — 8 years ago

Bacchus Vineyard La Bourgeoisie Merlot 2011

I consider this a more full bodied wine. Typically a Cab drinker but this Merlot was quite good. Strong plum and cranberry flavors with a bit of a peppery finish. Alcohol content seems high with half glass consumed! Surprised that I am enjoying this one as much as I am. — 10 years ago
