Shinola Buhl Memorial Vineyard Sangiovese 2019

Garnet with light peach to the edges, not bad after a screw top and 5 years of bottle aging. Medium bodied, with a prominent red-fruit forward note, with hints of smoke and tar to the edges. Palate is fruit forward and accessible, with nice peppery notes, light tannins and slight bloody/meaty notes that linger into a dry finish. A nice, native, entry level Sangiovese. PS: Tasted great a week after, had real staying power with solid warmth and a nice, slightly acidic berry. — a year ago

A very enjoyable red from Arizona. Savory. Cherries. A bit of earth and chocolate. — 4 years ago

Merkin Vineyards Shinola New Mexico Red Blend 2013

Right after opening, it seems like an alcohol bomb on the nose. Not to fail. Just needs 10 minutes and it's open to big red fruit, slight oak, tart cherry, and great acid. They're killing it out there. — 7 years ago

Merkin Vineyards Shinola Orancia 2019

Super interesting and special, orange (funny enough) and honey - nearly a creamsicle on the nose but a delicious palate — 3 years ago

Merkin Vineyards Chupacabra Blanca Riesling Chardonnay 2017

Not sweet. The chard flavor carries over the Riesling despite the smaller percentage of former. Grassy, apricot, and a hint of that buttery mouthfeel. Bright not heavy — 3 years ago
